What’s under the desire for taking action?

Many years ago I had a photography stint. Not sure how it started but maybe it came from wanting to share the moments when and where the world felt quietest, most golden, and least disturbed.

I consider the practice a healing modality in itself. That of getting up before the sun and venturing out in meditative quiet to somewhere I’ve never been just wander around and pay attention to what catches my attention. In trying to find the image I am drawn more into the question of why this is catching my attention. What’s in the image? What’s the story?

Here are some of my favorite landscape shots from fun destinations including the Charleston Coal Tipple, an abandoned Joyland, a colorful streets in Valadolid, and a random Shoney Boy in the middle of nowhere Wyoming.

Just promoting a good friend’s Breathwork Series hosted . I’ve been blessed to have the opportunities to experience Hampus’ breathwork journey’s in private and group settings, as well as a class assistant. By and large there is nothing like them and the amount of space created for shifts to happen is boundless. Treat yourself to one or many, you will only benefit.

PS the music is good

One of my favorite Rolf stories is my own. Here are old photos from the 10 Series I received while at DIRI and much like my classmates the shift from session 1 to session 10 was dramatic. Prior to starting this phase I had my first back injury leaving me crawling around and ended my long streak of bikram and barbells.

Shifts like this are commonly seen in series work but also in one session. You see how much my ribs and belly protruded initially. The front of my body sat more in front of my shoulder girdles and my pelvis sat in front of my ankles. To me at the time, this was an upright posture.

After 10 you see ease that causes an increase in height. There is more balance of the front and back of my body in between my arms. The from ankles to ears is more consistent and I felt amazing!

If you ever thought about the 10 Series of Structural Integration all I can say is that it is always a worthwhile experience that informs your body and movement for life. When you first feel your line it’s like a coming home and a memory you’ll always cherish.

Two of my favorite things, spines and ladders. Having a little scoliosis and back pain myself I’ve always been intrigued by Scroth Method but only heard about it loosely as a fan of stall bar use for fitness. Just like PNF what I find with diving into the original sources is a wealth of creativity and new world of ways of working with bodies to facilitate better balance.

Last day of class for Phase I .idarolfinstitute. Thursday is their final A & K exam and Friday I’m heading back home after 7 weeks here in Boulder. Wish I could stay and continue assisting this wonderful group of soon to be Rolfers but definitely was in the right place for this part of their journey. I definitely learned a lot myself and grew in some ways. This especially true assisting Neal and Nobu who collectively brought a treasure chest of wisdom and experience to this group. After my first time assisting at the Rolf Institute I can happily say I’ll be back soon enough!
