We discuss how the brain organizes movement through the sense-move loop, why tension and stiffness occur, and how psychedelics can enhance movement quality. Patrick also breaks down movement systems like PRI, the importance of sensory inputs, and how play and novelty can unlock greater physical intelligence.
