What if you could train… even when your body can’t move?
In this episode of Mama’s Ministries, an injury forced me off the gym floor and back into something we explored during Presence Prep: embodiment through imagination.
While sidelined on the couch, I ran my entire workout mentally - rep by rep, set by set - using the same weights and tempo from my last session. The result? My mind stayed almost perfectly on pace with the workout my app projected.
Neuroscience calls this motor imagery - the brain activating many of the same pathways during vivid mental rehearsal as it does during physical movement.
But Scripture has been pointing to this inner alignment all along:
“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” - Epistle to the Romans 12:2
“First clean the inside of the cup… and the outside will be clean also.” - Gospel of Matthew 23:26
Sometimes transformation starts inside first.
Mind. Machine. Marrow.
Let’s build. Be love and be loved, Beloved.
