Ted, I believe this distinction is made more by the biologists than the psychologists these days, but I do think you need to train your body to remember, rather than just your mind. Anyway, it's nice to hear a non-spiritual viewpoint for a change, thanks.
However, I think if you want to follow the philosophy as well as the techniques of aikido, you'll need that "reptile brain" bit firmly under the control of your reasoning brain - as I understand it, your fight or flight reactions are not normally known for their harmonious results.
