How to overcome laziness for daily healthy routines ?
From time to time I find myself finding excuses or telling myself that I don't find time for meditation or my morning practices.

Lately I have very good results using this strategy.
I set a 5 minutes timer to practice with full attention.
And after that it's easier to extend.

Getting feedback from Ilan.
The one that resonates with me more: slow down, do less, bring questions, and trust your intuition that is based on your sensory system.

The vehicle we drive, in our embodied self-awareness, becomes an extension of our body schema.
Today I’m excited since I found somebody writing about this embodiment phenomenon.

What is Sensory-motor amnesia?

The more we are stressed and the less we are able to get feedback from our bodies.

So when we have tensions we are not able to identify what is going on where the tensions are located and work to release that.

Awareness is medicine

Rising awareness we improve our ability to monitor and regulate our basic body functions.

What is a bodywork?

To the one that from today ask me what I dedicate myself to, I will simply answer "somatic therapy".

Then, I think that it's quite easy to relate to the word "therapy".

The word "somatic" instead it's a bit more tricky since it's still not mainstream and for someone may be hard to grasp because to understand needs to reconnect our feelings from within.
Dancers and people who practice yoga, meditation, Thai Chi, and other awareness-based movement practices have quite an advantage in understanding it.

Anyway, it's never too late to connect and relate to this experiential state.
If you don't have a clue about what the word somatic means, receiving bodywork can be an amazing starting point to explore your body from within. 🙂

It will be a journey, that can support you to use your body in daily activities doing less unnecessary effort, and eventually to reconnect to parts of yourselves that you experience as "foggy", body parts you lost contact with.

So come for bodywork, I will be happy to start this journey with you.

What is Embodied self-awareness?

Embodied self-awareness is the ability to pay attention to ourselves, to feel our sensations, emotions, and movements, in the present moment, without the mediating influence of judgmental thoughts (Am I doing this right? Why am I so clumsy? I wonder if anyone is watching?).
Embodied self-awareness is composed of sensations like warm, tingly, soft, nauseated, dizzy; emotions such as happy, sad, threatened; and body senses like feeling the coordination (or lack of coordination) between the arms and legs while swimming, or sensing our shape and size (fat or thin), and sensing our location relative to objects and other people.
Embodied self-awareness is fundamental to survival. If we can’t feel the heat, we will get burned. If we can’t feel the boundaries of our bodies, we will bump into things or fall and get injured. If we can’t sense the condition of our digestive system, we could be poisoned and not know it.

Sometimes need to go off-line from our bodies in order to respond to threats and challenges from our environment. Our nervous system has a very efficient way of doing this, directing resources away from self-awareness and self-renewal into arousal and rapid response. We get into trouble, however, if we stay on alert for too long and never let our bodies rest and recover.
