Humans are a very creative species. Creating art and sharing information is how evolution happened, and storytelling was essential. Yet now that we know all of this, what stories do you tell yourself that might hinder your progress instead of support your growth?
Knowing how you get in your way is more important than being upset that it happens. How clever are you in supporting the process of not getting what you want with your lifestyle, your relationships, or your dreams?
I work with aligning the skeleton for optimum freedom of movement and pleasure. We so often think that we must exercise our muscles in order to be strong, but as any tai chi or martial artist will tell you, this simply isn’t true. Yes there is conditioning the muscle for strength and endurance, but if we are using our muscles to hold our skeleton in place we are over working and setting the body up for later in life problems. When we force our muscles to do something we often are holding our breath and the brain goes in to a survival mode and often learns bad habits. Habits that come to haunt you with age. In regards to pelvic health for women, we have a lot to lose, literally.
This has been an amazing two weeks up at my Feldenkrais ExplorAction training.
Looking forward to getting home for awhile and share what we’ve been exploring. We’ve been playing with weight shifting, gait, homo and contra lateral movements, and how to toss your energy around without effort.
