Good morning!

ON SAFETY

Precision matters, in the words that we use. And personal responsibility

How many times will I have to hear people making other people responsible for their safety. Grown ups, eh. Not children

Or people hiding behind that manipulative rhetoric masking a desire. But they didn't learn to just express a desire/want. Well, you are aloud, haha.

You are a feeling being with tremendous gifts due to that. We can feel our environment, our skin and touch things/beings around us. This, with the superior brain, gives us the best of both worlds. Even if we waste it, haha

Our feeling is a perception and it can be wrong, no matter how much % of intuitive knowledge there is in that feeling. Is it Real? How much of this feeling is intrinsic and how much of it is a reactive pattern from a layer of protection of ours? Or a subconscious sabotage. That's a more relevant question to me.

Good to ask, too, which of them are deemed optimal/healthy for you.

My body, my choice

Definitely! Who's, otherwise?

My safety, my responsibility.

Some situations objectively have questionable safety concerns. True. But, is it fair to look at every situation with the lens of (is this safe?)

Well, if you need to re-learn at some point of your life, I think it can be useful to have a more conscious process of observation and decision making. Do you need to make everyone else aware that you are still and constantly evaluating your environment and people around you. Do you need to do this systematically for the rest of your life?

Obviously not. This is meant to be a process, a phase in between where you were and where you want to be, so you try and learn new skills and to know yourself better. That's it.

After this phase, there's something new (unknown and inconceivable to your present self), with integrated lessons.

You can do this

With passion and love for what I do, a commitment to keep learning and going towards and through my purpose, this time I have the opportunity again to learn from the best in the world.
No, it doesn't stop!

Pierre Vey, thank you for this great experience and learning. A very inspiring osteopath who's not only a great teacher but an amazing therapist. Very committed to his work. I really love witnessing that.

Making this a better world through doing your work and keep doing it to make a positive impact in people and the WHOLE is really something I resonate with.

The impact of visceral restrictions and different undesired energy states in our organs can make our life, body and posture not ideal for a comfortable and healthy life. Identifying that and treating it with precision can change somebody's life.

I keep receiving clients from all over the world who've tried multiple approaches and therapies with little success.

The body is very complex and relying on a system with standard protocols with no real interest in the individual is something I personally avoid. I trully believe that individual needs need to be addressed with particular attention and with a big toolbox, multidisciplinary also.

PELVIC HEALTH: RELAXATION

There is a general misconception that to improve an area of the body, we have to strengthen it. This is part of the performance / no-pain-no-gain paradigm, which brought us here were we are. It isn't valid anymore to work through our patterns with more trauma. There is a need to feel, to release, to connect deep inside. Before activation, we need relaxation, release and awareness.

"From a place of stillness we can create"

Contrary of what we have the tendency for, relaxation doesn't need DOING. It doesn't need an action plan or an agenda. You can schedule it but you can't schedule it. You can't own it or control it. You can, indeed, LET IT BE. Let it happen. Be present. Connect. Breath and awareness can guide you and sensation too. Sensation shouldn't be the goal. There shouldn't be a goal. Sensitivity is the mantra. Presence. Feeling. There's no shortcut, bypass or magic button. Nor even an app, hahaha.

Both men and women are in general disconnected from our natural relaxed and present state. Many things play a role in here. It's mainly about our environment, childhood and the strategies we have to build and interact with our reality. Performance, overdoing, anticipating, proving yourself, fear fear of pain, lack of meaning and purpose, direct action as a way to receive, pleasing,... Separation. It's important to gradually make the shift of our awareness from OUTWARDS to INWARDS. We will be more connected to the people and things around us when we bring our focus inwards, paradoxically. Here lies great power.

Breathe in and out. Notice the movements of your belly and chest as you do so. Can you direct your breath to the sides of your rib cage? What about your lower back? Can you direct the breath there, too? And your pelvic floor? Can you feel it? Take your time. Can you feel an expansion of your pelvis as you inhale in that direction?
There we go

Love,
Albert

This one for good! Hahaha

I'm open again on May 22nd

Very looking forward to welcome you and serve you after this period.

Uncertainty, tension, stress, disconnection, stiffness?

Give me a call or book online your session/s. Time to catch up and release all that you don't need. I'm here to help!

Personally, one of the things this period is teaching me is to appreciate all the touch I get and fully receive and be in the moment. To appreciate the connections I make in many different ways with my surroundings and people. Many other lessons have happened too and are still, learning new skills and opening to new frequencies. This is a time for change and to all the darkness to be revealed. All is welcome and it's time to choose. CHOOSE, what you do, why you do it, which people you interact with and how you are relating with the world and yourself. What a blessing!

Through my website www.posturalpatterns.com
or using whatsapp at 0640731976 you can book a session at Postural Patterns, Overtoom 570, Amsterdam.

Enjoy this beautiful day!
