Tense About Events? Your Body Is Asking Loud & Clear. But Do You Understand It? What's the Hidden Cost of Constant Global Change? I’m taking a stand here and now. For their own wellbeing, people need to know what’s really going on in their bodies in response to the insane velocity of changes from the pandemic on...People come to me because they're in pain. Most of them have been pushing through since the pandemic, quietly telling themselves, “I’m fine” while carrying on with more internal noise than ever before. This has to stop.

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! https://youtube.com/playlist...
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.

Ignored Feedback: Why Modern Society Suppresses Pain

📍 📍 We've been taught to ignore the most Important Information: the feedback we get from our own Nervous System. We've been taught to deny it. We've been taught to give it drugs. We've been taught to suppress it. This is the thing: most people haven't been independent enough in their thinking to realize this is a problem! If you want to stress less, and have less chronic pain, you have to tune IN, not tune OUT.

Pain is a feedback loop that the system doesn't want you to pay attention to. They want you to cover it up using some kind of a product, medication or surgery. It's all about the bottom line. So how could you learn to respond? It requires neurological reeducation: refining skills you have innately. To create space for feeling better, you have to relinquish the conditioning: https://creatingspace.mn.co/

Let's bust the Myth that Strength Training is the only thing that matters. It turns out pain & trauma are two sides of the same coin. And if you think it's not traumatic for an athlete to be unable to do a sport they have spent a lifetime training for, think again. It can be a complete identity crisis, one that requires neurological reeducation, even more than strength training. Discover how to prevent overuse injuries for optimal athletic performance. To avoid training so hard that you injure yourself, discover how mental imagery, as researched over decades, helps rewire your brain for better spatial awareness, timing and coordination. The Feldenkrais® process of Awareness Through Movement® gives you the tools to alleviate pain with a somatic practice that you can easily learn and that will help almost immediately. It's a process of becoming aware of the intelligence of your own body and how to use it.

This only works if you DO it in space and time, since the body is subject to the space time continuum. This is the first part of the lesson. You can find the full lesson at http://creatingspace.mn.co which is my member community for those really wanting to make a massive transformation in how they feel by immersing themselves in the process. It has a free trial period for your learning pleasure. I will also offer this series as a stand alone mini-course that you can purchase. Check in at http://theresiliencezone.com for details.

Expediting recovery from

Things have taken a dramatic turn for the worse: originally diagnosed as a line fracture, this has now been diagnosed as a comminuted fracture of the lateral tibial plateau.

Here’s how to read an x-ray at least in general terms. The L designate that it’s the left leg. this is an interior view, meaning it’s shot from the front. The femur is the top bone, the long bone of the thigh. The tibia is the bone below it, the shin bone. The small bone to the right is the fibula. These are the three bones which articulate the new along with the patella, or the kneecap, which you can’t see.

The trick with x-rays is to realize that you have to flip the image in your mind. Just as when you’re looking at a person from the front: their right is your left and their left is your right.

In the same way, the right side of the leg which is towards the midline of the body is on the left and the left side of the leg which is on the outside is to the right. The correct terminology for this would be medial for the midline and lateral for the outside line.

You can see where the tibia bone is very light and there’s a lot of joint space on the medial side just above the fibula.

They say they are going to reconstitute the missing bone. You can only see that there’s a huge gap from a CT scan but I don’t have a copy of that at the moment. They want to do surgery immediately.

So I’m going in on Friday, tomorrow, April 14. Wish me luck!

Why this happened is a longer conversation.

Suffice it to say that after a good three or four years of serious grief, I suffered from premature aging, and diminished blood flow to the lower extremities. I believe that’s why the upper bone was strong and hard enough to cause damage to the lower bone. There was a difference in bone density due to the lack of good circulation to the shin. And so the impact of the fall drove The femur straight down into the tibia with such force that it crushed crushed the bone and must be surgically reconstituted.

One moral of the story is: never let yourself mourn for so long that your health declines. But that is easier said than done with certain losses. Without feldenkrais I could not have come back to be stronger than I was before. But it does not make a person regain bone density. I didn’t realize it was an issue, or I would’ve addressed it. Only in retrospect is it somewhat obvious. This is why I am so passionate about helping people come out of the Dark Night of the Soul caused by years of grief and why I think that feldenkrais is immensely helpful for this. But that too is a longer conversation! I must rest now.
