Rest Isn't Relaxation. People come in for bodywork, stressed & in pain. "What do you do to relax?" I ask.
"I rest, or watch a movie." But if relaxation were simply a matter of stopping activity, why do so many people still feel tight, tired, or stiff? Rest is not the same as relaxation. Since the pandemic, the global nervous system is overstimulated. https://twp.ai/E6GPRC

I had a surgery. I couldn't walk. I had to implement everything I know about musculoskeletal health and I'm back. I didn't want to teach while I was still walking with an obvious limp because I didn't think it would be credible. But now that I have regained my full range of motion, beyond the expectation of conventional medicine, I want to share with you these strategies for living without limitation and pain.

In some cases, if you come to my classes you will learn things that doctors don't know. For example they know that the nervous system controls muscles, but they don't know what to do with that information. They don't know how to make it practical and actionable.

That said, I am making an announcement that what's on offer in April is a new Feldenkrais awareness through movement class in Jacksonville Oregonβ€”live in personβ€”that gives you the keys to regaining the mobility and freedom from limitation and pain that you once knew as a child.

Oh, and you get the skills of two presenters myself and Pati!

People ask me how I got into the Feldenkrais Method: through horses. I saw an amazing demonstration by Linda Tellington Jones working with an irate dressage horse and I wanted to know who was this person that she trained with!!!!!?! the horse calmed down within five minutes or less of her touch: this is not just nervous system regulation this is providing the right conditions for the nervous system to self regulate. Amazing. Beautiful to behold. The presence of consciousness embodied as poetry in motion!

The image below is of Linda working with a horse just after the Amherst Training with Moshe Feldenkrais seated in the chair watching the demonstration. Check out the video link to hear Linda's description of her work with horses right after her Feldenkrais training.

✨✍️ journaling prompt. What patterns do you notice about allowing yourself to have what you want? Do you find it hard to ask for what you want? Do you, deep down, feel you're not allowed to ask for what you want? Were YOU the caregiver as a child? You clean up this kind of trauma by owning what you want, by giving yourself permission to have needs and wants and by owning that it's a feeling that you have been taught to suppress. Relinquish that programming and you are free! πŸ’―πŸ•ŠοΈβœ¨πŸŒŸ

Pain is a wake up call. Listen early so the universe doesn't have to hit you on the head with a baseball bat. The sooner you do, the sooner you're free. But you must train yourself because the conditioning is to ignore it. Heighten your awareness with us! Support for self-care instead of sick care. Deep Awareness that expands to all the potential of meaning. Create space by eradicating outdated ideas. Replace blind belief with experiential proof of new ease & expansion. You Be You.πŸŒ±πŸ’«πŸ₯°

Today's the day! Get rid of the tension hounding you from 1 pain in the neck to another! Few people will get it. Others, so limited by the rigidity of fight/flight hypervigilance are trapped inside their own body. FREEDOM!

1. want to understand what doctors don't know about how pain works 2. want to alleviate muscle tension that causes pain 3. want to discover how to unwind without drugs or medication
