Feeling the kneeling: power of bodily positions
Original language description
In different religious rituals we may observe involvement of different, sometimes specific, bodily postures. In contemporary cognitive psychology, accentuating the importance of embodiedness and extendedness of cognitive system, those postures could be seen as crucial elements for understanding how the rituals are perceived and processed by their participants. The importance of embodied cognition could be emphasized not only on symbolic level of rituals, but also on physiological level. In current studyof ritual, those two levels are usually studied as interconnected. Body posture and body processes influencing emotional reactions are in psychology underlined as early as in work of Charles Darwin and William James. Since then, there is growing evidence supporting the facial feedback hypothesis (at least at its weak version) ? the assumption of an emotional facial expression can change the persons emotions. The same or similar process seems to work while assuming specific body posture.
