Funny how hard it is for people to accept a way of moving through life that creates ease instead of hard work, calm instead of chaos, comfort instead of friction. It's as if we have all been so well programmed to work until we drop that we feel guilty if we slow down. But If you're like me, you like to work hard AND play hard, and if you give your whole self to work, you got nothin' left for riding horses, traveling the high road or skiing slopes without a care in the world!

What do you do if stretching actually makes you have more pain? Don't stretch, lengthen. With awareness through movement, you discover how to create the exact conditions your nervous system needs to reset itself. Your brain controls the resting length of your muscle muscles.Your biology is self organizing. Your consciousness expands as your body relaxes.

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.
