CULTIVATING AWARENESS THROUGH MOVEMENT AS A PRACTICE.
A PRACTICAL PATH TO EMBODIED CONSCIOUSNESS. MINDFUL ATTENTION TO THE PROCESS RATHER THAN THE PREDOMINANT PARADIGM OF FOCUSING ON THE DESTINATION. THIS PRACTICE OFFERS A COST-EFFECTIVE, DRUG-FREE SOLUTION TO EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL PAIN.
It also offers greater FULFILLMENT AND OPTIONS FOR FINDING SOLUTIONS TO all the CHALLENGES INHERENT IN THE HUMAN CONDITION.Gabrielle Pullenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03728140303906523518noreply@blogger.comBlogger71125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13169841.post-45157336522442572162020-02-09T18:28:00.003-08:002020-02-10T10:56:57.693-08:00Has Life Experience Compromised Your Posture?What are the somatic consequences of insecurity? Or, guilt and shame, for that matter? As a teenager - all teenagers are more concerned with how other people see them than anything - even I could see that my mother was ashamed of being a divorced woman. She grew up in the fifties in the very Catholic part of Switzerland where we lived. The most common colloquialism there was and is, if I'm not mistaken, "It's just not done!" No judgement there!<br />
<br />
In fact, I remember the neighbors who lived in the apartment downstairs: two sisters and a brother, all in their seventies at least. We had to go by their door every time we walked four flights up or down on that creaking staircase to each successive beautiful herringbone landing. The front door of each apartment was framed in glass. There was always the flicker of the curtain moving as someone checked out who was going by. I guess it was more interesting than watching TV for them to speculate about what other people were up to.<br />
<br />
For my mother, living in an environment where her every move was observed, it would be reasonable to expect a little bit of self-consciousness. Add to that the sheer force of the mandate she had been living with since she was small: the proclamation that divorce is a sin and it's easy to think that might cross her mind when she felt judged in any way. She was also someone who was very hard on herself because she valued other people and what they thought. She was always the first person people came to when they had a problem.<br />
<br />
Yet, who did she have to go to? For her, it was all about being strong, even in the face of shame about being a single mother - that on top of all the usual difficulties of raising three kids on her own without a lot of money. For my part, a young sixteen year-old observing her mother from the growing detachment of adolescence, I knew instinctively that this was nothing for her to be ashamed of, but there was nothing I could do for her. What mother would listen to her teenage daughter giving advice about the topic of marriage and divorce? I could sense her shame and see it in her self-carriage. It made her smaller. It made her shrink not just emotionally, but physically, every time she went somewhere that reminded her of what she thought she "should" be. Her life blueprint was that she should happily married. There was no way for her to resolve that unless she dropped that old fifties social expectation that every woman of her generation was raised with and programmed to expect.<br />
<br />
This kind of programming is subliminal. My mother wasn't stupid or naïve. She had been studying to be a doctor when my parents met at the ETH in Zürich. Yet, because of conflict with her own mother, she gave it all up to marry a man who could whisk her far, far away to America. Shame begins it's subtle control over our way of moving through life when our expectations do not match how things turn out.<br />

<br />
The posture of shame causes a collapsing of the head over the heart. It's as if the person is trying to make themselves smaller, or as if they would rather be invisible. As Brené Brown, who is an expert on shame, has commented, there is a public aspect to shame.<br />

<br />
As mature adults, rather than people run by social mores, we might hope that we could prevent ourselves from succumbing to the pressure to conform. But the truth is, we may not even realize we are compromising our posture by making ourselves smaller, as if that could prevent people from seeing us. Or, perhaps it's a subconscious attempt to avoid seeing shame or sadness in ourselves that makes us shorten, become smaller and become prone to physical pain if it lasts for years.<br />
<br />
This is an example of how the body speaks its mind and we don't listen. We ignore it by not feeling, or we don't choose to feel and therefor it goes unnoticed. Either way, it may become self-evident by looking in the mirror. There may be a visually discernible shrinking from some aspect of life. Or, it may manifests as pain in the neck or throat - generally the pain shows up in the area above the blockage. This is consistent with my previous experience as an acupressure practitioner, as well as in my experience as a <i>Feldenkrais</i> practitioner.<br />
<br />
Alternatively, it might only show up as a vague sense of discomfort or blockage inside the throat. It may manifest as an inability to speak up, or to be assertive, or as a feeling of not being enough...These are all ways the body tries to signal to consciousness that something is amiss. What's to be done? Instead of tuning out, tune in! <i>Awareness Through Movement</i> (ATM) classes are a perfect chance to tune in every week, to prevent the buildup of such patterns over time. Otherwise, you miss such subtle signals that something is amiss in the first place. This makes it impossible to do the inner work that can alleviate the ravages of memories or experiences in the past which have left us feeling less than the person we would like to be.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2d30; font-family: "vollkorn"; font-size: 21px;"><i>Numerous cognitive neuroscientists have conducted studies which reveal that <b>only 5% of our decisions, emotions, actions and behavior</b> is conscious. The remaining 95% of what we do is generated in various non-conscious ways.</i></span></blockquote>
Not only is our behavior unconscious, for the most part, so is the use of the muscles of the eyes in reading, as well as the way we stand when happy or sad. In ATM classes, awareness of how we move in space is an ability that grows more and more accessible by going to a lot of classes. Every lesson includes the opportunity to expand the ability to be aware of the way the body is holding tension - or releasing it - using a process of a body scan before and after the lesson to assess the shift from tension to ease. This allows students to improve sensitivity and consciousness of subtle cues that the body provides when something is amiss.<br />
<br />
The less conscious we are, the more likely we are to compromise our posture as a result of unexamined, uncleared life circumstances. Emotions, too, are powerful indicators of something out of whack. When they are left to increase over decades, because we pay no attention, illness is another problem which can easily result because the structure of the cells is physically blocked. Circulation is impaired. This blockage compromises immunity, as well as often being a source of pain due to an imbalance in length between the flexors and the extensors.<br />
<br />
The head weighs an average of 15 pounds...what happens when it is chronically held in a position in front of the skeleton because there is a holding or bracing in the chest just below the throat due to shame? Functional movement means integration of emotions that are calling out like a banner trying to get noticed. Don't let your body's call for alignment go unheeded! Awareness Through Movement is an answer to emotional disturbance that does not require endlessly talking about the past. It allows you to release unconscious patterns by providing the nervous system with vital time to process a more functional way of standing or moving and walking.<br />
<br />
For me, the magic moment happens when I stand up off the floor after a lesson to find that somehow, I have become free of an old pattern that made me feel like I was being shut down. The process of ATM itself allows for a state change, such that what no longer serves is spontaneously released through a reorganization of the nervous system and how it governs posture and mobility in space. Sometimes, a latent pattern that only shows up in times of stress becomes conscious because the lessons allow the brain time to process what cannot be processed in the fast pace of daily life. This is possible because every lesson allows time for learning to listen to the body, learning to witness one's own experience and the history of the self that lies written in the everyday aches and pains we live with.<br />
<br />
If you don't like how you feel, it's time to reorganize how you move.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Thank you for reading! </div>Gabrielle Pullenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03728140303906523518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13169841.post-45370340887614237752020-02-07T11:25:00.000-08:002020-02-07T11:34:50.421-08:00Take Care of Your Shoulder!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

An Amazing Method: How It Works!</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">
<span style="font-size: 12px;">The man behind the <em>Feldenkrais Method</em><sup>®</sup> was way ahead of his time. This powerful practice for improving your life was brought to the States when Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais was invited by the Human Potential Movement.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">
<span style="font-size: 12px;">A physicist who applied those principles to the human structure to promote ease, in the process, Feldenkrais discovered that it improves cognition and helps people change self-limiting habits.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong><em>Too Young to Feel So Old? </em></strong></span>THIS STUFF CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE. IT IS NOTHING SHORT OF TRANSFORMATIONAL. 3 Reasons Why:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">1) It's an easy process to learn that distracts you from whatever you are stressed or impatient about, while at the same time teaching you to focus on EASE, and COMFORT and WHAT WORKS in your movement. Movement is a concrete metaphor for discovery of these capacities in every area of life.<br /><br />2.) It releases tension and gives you the opportunity to practice expansion of awareness which allows you to navigate space and solve problems systematically. In this way, each lesson is an exercise in applying the scientific method to human experience, so that you regain a sense of power because you now have MORE OPTIONS, and more FREEDOM.<br /><br />3.) It creates a state change which is measurable as a change in brain wave frequency. When you learn how to do it, it takes you out of the chaos of alpha and into beta and theta frequencies. This has been shown to interrupt the kind of knee-jerk reaction that wrecks havoc on relationships, helping you find your natural STILL POINT of CALM.<br /><br /><strong>Ultimately, a serene mind equates to a state of being open to new possibilities that you could not even see before. Thus, you learn to put yourself into the optimal state for decision-making, cognition, spontaneity, creativity and new insights into the very nature of that which most intrigues you, whatever that might be. <em>It helps you follow your bliss!</em></strong></span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><strong><em>A Simple, Do It Yourself Process to improve the Quality of your life!</em></strong></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><strong><em><br /></em></strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
What’s the most rewarding work you can do? Attain mastery and skill: when you learn to master <strong><em>the process of learning easily,</em></strong> so that you can apply it to whatever you want. Reach for the stars!</div>
<strong></strong><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<strong>
</strong><strong></strong>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><strong>Time to reset your thermostat! You’ve already become aware Step One, which is to notice that limitations seem to be creeping in as the years go by. But what can you do about it?</strong></strong><br />
<strong><strong><br /></strong></strong></div>
<strong>
</strong>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The range of what you do every day over years sets your unconscious thermostat, meaning it creates a set-point for what is “normal” for you. But when you consider the difference between the range of moves that children make, and the range of moves that adults make, it becomes clear that the sheer diversity of things we do in a day diminishes as we move into adulthood. From childhood to young adulthood, you are expected to expose yourself to new situations which always promote new learning. As an adult, however, most people contract in terms of what they expose themselves to, if only because most work environments are repetitive.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What happens when we stick to a routine? Some things get easier, it’s true. Those are the kinds of things that we need to be able to do without thinking. But just like it’s good to do the dishes and clear out the cupboard once in a while to inventory what’s useful and what’s not, you need to do the same thing with yourself at least once a year. This allows you to make sure you are doing what you intend, what is most fun, and what feeds your soul as well as your wallet.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For example, in the hurry and scurry of life, it’s easy to forget that we work to live well, not the other way around…How can a movement class such as Awareness Through Movement (ATM) improve Quality of Life (QOL)? It’s an opportunity to check inside, to assess if you are living with as much freedom as you would like. Movement is just the canvass for learning. It’s just a very concrete way to learn the process of ATM which allows you to assess, improve and refine anything you wish to learn.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Some might say that it’s better to focus on helping others than on yourself, but if you allow yourself to get depleted, it becomes a catch 22 situation. When your life has become a series of choices that diminish your options out of habit, rather than expanding your range of options, you become more and more stiff, sore and irritable over time. This is a sure-fire way to land in a state of burnout. In that state, no one has anything much to offer when it comes to being of service to others…<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When you don’t take time out periodically to renew, to refresh, to assess, it leads to a life lived on autopilot. This is like making NO decision to take care of your own wellbeing. The consequences of making no decision to alter things or to look at what and how you do things is that <em><strong>your self-image of what is possible for you either remains static or diminishes over the years.</strong></em> Because whether you are conscious of doing so or not, you HAVE made a decision about what you can and cannot do, about what’s possible for you. Think about some of the things you used to do that you miss, but somehow don't even consider doing now! When you take the time to reassess, you don't loose so much of yourself along the way.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To enter into this process of resetting your internal Thermostat of what you assume is possible for you, take a brief trip back to beginner’s mind.To enter into the process, have the humility to get comfortable with being uncomfortable for a short period of time while you are exposing yourself to new understandings. This is a pre-requisite for any kind of learning.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you want to expand your limitations, it’s as simple as being willing to do what you ask any high school student, or any student to do, for that matter: be willing to sit in the momentary discomfort of not-knowing, trusting that the discomfort will go away quickly as the learning is initiated, as understanding dawns.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Understanding is actually a very rewarding feeling and satisfying in its own right. But what’s really rewarding is mastery and skill: learning to master the process of learning easily, so that you can apply it to whatever you want.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<strong></strong><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><strong>The Steps of Unlimited Learning:</strong></strong></div>
<strong>
</strong>
<br />
<ol>
<li style="text-align: left;"><strong>Awareness - </strong>of a limit to understanding (be it how to move more freely after injury - or in any other realm – as mentioned earlier, movement is used in ATM because it is more concrete than ideas. Movement offers a topic to practice with that yields concrete results: you feel the improvement in your body. You feel lighter, more grounded, more secure. Your mind also participates. It calms itself through focus on movement, which is much easier than focusing on not thinking the way mindfulness meditation stipulates! You slip easily into a state of receptivity: which makes fun, love, inspiration and spontaneity much more openly accessible.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><strong>Differentiation -</strong> is the act of noticing a difference between what works, and what does not work, instead of mindlessly doing things one way because that's what you always do...This is done by exploring different ways of completing the task, whatever it might be. The best learning happens in an environment that is safe, comfortable and without pressure. Then, when you do the task under pressure, it’s easy, because you have allowed some time for it to become habitual on some level, requiring much less thought to accomplish than ever before.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><strong>Processing Time:</strong> is the key element that allows the brain to make sense of the data, or the experience you present it with, so that it can assimilate the new into the already known. This is where the neuro-plasticity of the brain takes over, but it must be given that time and quiet to work quickly and easily. The biggest mistake people make when teaching or learning is to just cram in as much information as possible as if the goal was to just get it over with. This actually impedes learning because it kills the requisite time-out for assimilation. </li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thus,<em><strong> the process of Unlimited Learning is superior</strong></em> to random learning that is done without understanding how the brain works. Unlimited learning evolves from an awareness of a need, to a curiosity about how something could be done differently, to a willingness to sit temporarily with not-knowing, while trusting the process. From this place of opening, the mind will run over options automatically, because the mind runs through open questions until it finds some explanation or solution. When you add awareness to the mix as you try new options and new possible ways to do something, an easier way is found more quickly. It is assimilated more easily and with fewer repetitions. It quickly becomes part of the unconscious repertoire of known skills or understandings.</div>

Improves balance, too...<br />
<br />
Get a foam swimming noodle from the $1 store. Myofascial release takes at least 90 seconds, so as you stand on the soft roller, shift to put the balls of your feet on the ground, then your heels as in the second photo. Then lower your center of gravity by bending your knees as you shift your weight forwards and backwards over the roller. Then stand on flat ground for minute or two to enjoy the sensation of happy feet! Balance yourself with a hand on the wall as you go up on your toes 10-15 times and you will find your relationship with cramping is no longer intimate and your feet have regained something much closer to a healthy resting length of the fascia and muscles.<br />

<br />
The swimming noodle solution is both much cheaper than physical therapy rollers AND the foam is much softer, hence more comfortable for sore feet. Do this at least 3-5X week. It takes five minutes! Can you be kind to yourself for just five minutes a day! If you need support with that, I'm there for ya! Come to class for more about happy feet!

For most people, it’s the low back or the neck…but the base of support is in the feet. What is "break over?"</em><br /><br />What can you bring to the table that you are not yet aware of?<br /> </strong><br />
When I encountered this novel way of thinking about pain that the <em>Feldenkrais Method</em> presents us with, my toe hurt most of the time. I was concerned because I thought maybe “bad feet” were hereditary. My mother had been a child in Switzerland, during WWII, living across the lake from Germany. The Swiss army, closing ranks, requisitioned sugar, butter, flour, chocolate and shoes. This meant my mother had to wear shoes too small for her feet during those war years. By the time I saw her feet as a child myself, they were full of bunions and corns and clearly painful. When my toes seemed crunched together, at first I considered that it might be gout, for I loved all things rich: French cream sauces, the pungent cheeses of Appenzelle and the fluffy lightness of Napoleons, the incredibly flaky layered butter pastries. Rich foods cause gout. It seemed appropriate. I had always felt as if I was born in the wrong century and I was drawn to the middle ages. Gout is a disease of the middle ages, both past and present! But it wasn’t gout.<br />
<br />
I noticed that my toes were as if crunched together even with no shoes on. Maybe it was from wearing high heels at work for an eight hour shift every night at the Mirage Hotel where I was working while I was first training for my career in alternative health. Surely that would cause the toes to smoosh together?<br />
<br />
The beauty of the <em>Feldenkrais Method</em> is that it doesn’t matter what the reason is, what matters is the current moment. What can be done to change the pattern now? When we did lessons in <em>Awareness Through Movement </em>(ATM) that revolved around walking, I learned so much, not only about myself and my feet; I learned about my other passion: horses. For in horses, breakover is a big deal. It can mean the difference between a sound horse or a lame horse. As it turned out, my point of breakover was caddywampus.<br />
<br />
What’s that, you say? Caddywampus, cockeyed, uneven, askew…when I was stepping off the foot, I bent the ball of the foot in such a way that my weight rolled over the inside of the big toe. Because of gravity, this caused my weight to go through my entire leg in a line of force that was indirect, placing more stress on each of the joints above AND more stress on the big toe. All I had to do was learn to walk by breaking over between the big toe and the second toe and all that pain disappeared. It was a functional issue: hence the term: <em>"functional integration."</em><br />
<br />
It was like flying an airplane with no understanding of how to use the flaps. It’s true, the body doesn’t come with an instruction book. It comes with something far better, far richer, far more fulfilling. The body comes with its own feedback loop: your ability to sense yourself. Once you tune in, your nervous system is like a GPS system that will never steer you wrong. The thing is, most people tune it out, instead of tuning in.<br />
<br />
<em><strong>I hope to meet you in ATM class any Tuesday this month. In only a few lessons, you can discover a whole new world of enjoyment: a process that allows you to learn from your own experience. You can learn to tune in, to refine, to hone the perfection of your own pitch-perfect ability to discover new ways to access ease, comfort, freedom and joy!</strong></em></td></tr>

<div class="MsoNormal">
A residual dysfunction in my mobility from last month’s injury
is that I can stand and walk most of the time without pain. But every now and
then, when I turn in a certain way, a small shooting pain arises, followed by a
sudden weakness. This seems to manifest as a lack of strength as the ankle
collapses. In actuality, it’s not weakness, but a dysfunction in how the weight-bearing
structures are organized. It comes up while going up stairs, but not down. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Very
mysterious, yet, it’s quite common. Can you relate? In certain situations,
people experience a sudden sense of weakness in the muscles. Contrary to <b style="color: red;">the common misconception: the answer is not strength training. </b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The problem is not that the muscle is weak or overloaded. That's an over-simplification. <b><span style="color: red;">The problem is one of organization, not weakness.</span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If it were a matter of strength-training, it would not work
to use the Feldenkrais Principle of Focusing on What Works. When I focus on the
problem, on the front of the ankle where the pain occurs, it’s as if the bottom
falls out and I cannot bear weight on that ankle. Yet, if I focus on the
opposite area, on weight-bearing through the heel, so that the achilles tendon on
the back of the leg is deliberately lengthened, I can walk up a flight of 20
stairs without a problem. Why? Because I am organizing myself in a different
pattern, one that puts the burden of weight-bearing on the skeleton, the bone of
the back of the heel, rather than on joints and muscles.<br />
<i><b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b></i>
<i><b><span style="color: red;">The skeleton is designed
for weight-bearing, not the muscles. The muscles are designed for mobility…</span></b></i><br />

<b>What’s spectacular about the <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Feldenkrais</span> Method is that I
don’t need to be a practitioner to figure this out. By simply following the
Principle of Focusing on what works, the opposite part of the joint, and by trying
different ways of bearing weight as I go up a step, I can FEEL for a way to
bear weight through the skeleton, with no training in anatomy whatsoever. </b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
In
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Awareness Through Movement </span>classes, I can learn, over time, to sense the
difference: when I am bearing weight using my skeleton, it feels solid. It
feels safe. Not just emotionally, but neurologically. It feels grounded. I don’t
have to understand what I’ve explained above, I just need to refine the
feedback loop that my Nervous System uses for learning – anything!<o:p></o:p><br />

Think power without any control of timing or coordination - as is caused by things like multiple sclerosis, head trauma, alcohol abuse, stroke or cerebral palsy. These are issues of the nervous system, hence the nervous system governs organization of muscles. Most of us have only minimal issues of dysfunction as a result of injury. Yet, Moshe Feldenkrais was successful in helping people with all of the above disruptions of their organization...amazing work!</i></span></div>

Myth #1: Conventional Exercise assumes it's possible to isolate body parts when the whole body is always involved if only because the Nervous System is what regulates proprioception. You may move a limb, but the rest of you is participating, too. Expand your awareness!<br /><br />The ability to stabilize is as vital as the ability to move a joint. It’s like the unappreciated spaces between the notes in musi<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">c that give it power. Most movements require some other part of ourselves to stabilize against something, so that the movement can be made with precision. With a wrist injury, I miss being able to grind pepper! You have to be able to stabilize the pepper mill with one hand, while the other hand turns the mill for the delicious kick of this ancient spice to become fresh and alive and new!<br /><br />There is an ATM Series that comes to mind call the "Bell Hand" and it would be "indicated" for me to do it on the side that is functional and imagine doing it on the injured side...This is one of the Rx, or prescriptions I'm giving myself to speed my recovery!</span></div>

If you hold your hand out in front of you, palm down, the radius is on the thumb side and the ulna is on the pinky side, culminating in the elbow at the other end. I am beginning to think in terms of defining "functional movement" as a general concept, and breaking it down into smaller parts: what I'm calling a "Move" or a unit of functional movement, similar to a word which makes up sentences. A "Move" is like a word that that is essential to a sentence, or a functional movement. For example, access to rotation of the fore arm is a critical MOVE that has to be working for any larger, more global movement., such as turning over your hand to pick up a pan off the stove. My expertise in Feldenkrais, and what I help students learn, is what is optimal? What is possible that you may not actually have access to out of unconscious habit? Then, I show you new options, which your nervous system integrates automatically, so that conscious learning, although fun, is only the tip of the iceberg of what you experience in Awareness Through Movement classes.<br />

<h4>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><i><b>Since movement is how we navigate the world</b></i>, when we brace against it,
something is amiss. Bracing in the jaw can mean any number of things. Remember
bracing against the warning that the pin-prick of a vaccine would only sting a
little? The involuntary impulse takes on a life of its own, as if holding still
might prevent the inevitable. Bracing is not only how we cope with pain, it’s
how we attempt to control the uncontrollable.</span> </h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">It’s human. <span style="background-color: white; color: blue;">We crave control when life takes off in unwanted
directions. Bracing in the jaw, a precursor to chronic TMJ syndrome (temporomandibular
joint pain), is also a factor in resentment. </span>It is usually an unconscious
response, but the evidence is there, the body speaks its mind through unwanted
tension. The question is, do we listen? Do we listen when the body braces
against fear or loss or rage? Or, do we silence ourselves to comply with social
expectations of acceptable behavior? Do we tamp it down inside with pharmaceuticals
or recreational drugs? The response to the response is where the feedback loop
cannot function because we deny it. This, then, is the gift of the Feldenkrais
Method: first and foremost, it reminds us to take heed of the intelligence our
own body is offering. That’s nice, but clearly awareness alone is not enough,
and neither is knowledge. <span style="color: blue;">The true brilliance of Feldenkrais is how it gives us
the opportunity to acknowledge, to refine the ability to sense these vital
signals and it gives us the creativity to choose another, better-feeling response.</span>
For who in their right mind would choose tension over comfort? Most of us, as
it happens, every day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">It’s time to break the cycle. Actually, it’s time to stop ignoring
the cycle and tune into the magnificent feedback loop that is yours by birth:
your nervous system. <span style="color: blue;">Your nervous system is more sophisticated than any laptop
computer</span> in the number of functions it manages and executes simultaneously. All
parts of the feedback loop which your nervous system manages include intelligence from vision, thought, memory, sensation, blood pressure, immune
function, and breath. These are all things so close to home (i.e, your primary environment: your internal experience) that you barely give them recognition. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="color: blue;">Bracing in the jaw, because of resentment,</span> <span style="color: blue;">is</span> a seemingly involuntary response to life. It's <span style="color: blue;">a somatic response, a bodily
response to people and experiences unwanted.</span> To make matters worse, resentment
which is a form of judgement, is solidified even further by values that imply
it is bad, or not spiritual, or that you, personally, as a person are bad for
feeling it. “Good” people don’t walk around resenting others. Here’s where the
rubber really hits the road, for when tension is heaped upon tension through a
series of layers affecting emotion, thought and actions you find your way
forward is blocked. It impedes good relations with anyone around you, and, more
importantly, with yourself. When you judge yourself, ironically, it only makes it harder to move freely, because both judging ourselves or feeling judged has look that even the untrained eye can see: it looks like deer, frozen in time. This is because <span style="color: blue;">the
somatic response to self-judgement</span> is <span style="color: blue;">the equivalent of going in two directions
at once. It’s like a two-headed serpent, each arguing about which direction to
go in. </span>Hence, the concept of integration in Feldenkrais. Integration is when
every fiber of your being is going in the same direction and life is one big, “Hell,
Yes!” Integration is the “incredible lightness of being,” or the sense that
wild horses could not stop you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="color: blue;">Society programs you to listen to others, because that’s what makes
a society work. It makes it safer. But assuming you are not dangerous to
yourself or others, at some point, you have to start listening to yourself.</span>
Bracing in the jaw may have become an unconscious habit, however, given the
right environment, the cost of it can easily become conscious. It’s just one of
many possible expressions of emotional pain with somatic consequences. As you
brace, you brace against the world. The maseter muscle of the jaw is one of
the most powerful muscles in the body. When you lock it, you lock yourself in
even as you lock the world out. It’s like being the Man in the Iron Mask.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

your voice and your sleep. Got pain? Think about TMJ. TMJ stands for temporomandibular
joint, the joint between the jaw and the skull. It gets a lot of use. TMJ
health is necessary for speaking, biting and chewing, even for communication
both intimate and superficial. The babe sucking at her mother’s breast, as well
as the hunter waiting in a copse for a deer, is unconsciously using the TMJ.
Yet, ironically, it’s only when it’s not functioning well that we tend to
notice it. That’s when it’s actually called TMJ syndrome, a general diagnosis
meaning </span><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">pain in the jaw joint and in the muscles that control jaw
movement, according to sources at the Mayo Clinic. What’s going on is that the
joint tissues get inflamed due to compression and friction. Unequal tension in
the muscles surrounding the joint causes pressure, pain and diminished
circulation. Sometimes there is disease involved, but that is a different
issue. For most people, TMJ discomfort and popping grows more common with age.</span></div>

the jaw backwards impeding normal use. It may not be visibly different, just
uncomfortable. Living with huge stress or grief can also generate unconscious tension
so dramatic that it causes an imbalance in the relative length of all the
muscles surrounding the joint. This can also lead to grinding the teeth. There was
a young woman in one of my classes who had moved away from home for the first
time. She was living in the city, and so afraid of living alone that she would
not open her windows, for fear of someone coming in to attack her. She clenched
her teeth so hard while she slept that she actually cracked a tooth. </span></div>

give such a person a mouth “guard” made of acrylic. This may well protect the
teeth from each other, but it will not change the habit. What it does do is create
a normal space between the teeth while you are resting. Just notice as you read
if your teeth are clenched or if there is a small space between the upper and
the lower jaw. This is normal. Yet, “normal” is actually unusual, since most
people have excess tension that shows up as clenching of the jaw. What we think
of as normal is actually ideal. It would be ideal to have space between the
teeth at rest. Perhaps, rather than trying to prevent cracking your own teeth
because of tension, it would make sense to find a way to manage the tension.

How can something that often looks like nothing is being done be effective? How can movements so small and slow create lasting, effective changes for people? </i></b><br />
<br />
How does FELDENKRAIS work? It reduces the constant stimulus of the nervous system. We live in an
unconscious state of hypermobilization, distraction and pain from <span class="m_-4191669324386330618gmail-text_exposed_show">old
injuries to the body and the psyche. It offers learned self awareness
that gives you immediate access to ease, possibility and a new
alignment. Polyvagal Theory explains why what may appear to be doing
nothing, or so little that it's almost imperceptible, can have such an
impact on the sense of well being. Because we get stuck in one way of
responding to life due to injury, or accident, or a lifetime of little,
additional shocks to the system, only a sense of safety can allow us to
move out of that place. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="m_-4191669324386330618gmail-text_exposed_show">The polyvagal part of the autonomic nervous
system includes these 3 stages of development: Immobilization,
mobilization, and social communication or social engagement. By working
to reduce the excessive stimulus of the polyvagal system, the body is
able to come out of living in a perpetual state of unconscious
hyperarousal. New neuroception allows neural circuits to distinguish
that one is finally safe, and can resume normal function.<span style="color: blue;"><b><i> It feels like
greater awareness, comfort, stability and mobility; it feels like the
absence of restriction, the sense of spontaneous well being. It offers
an improvement in function that addresses even restrictions you were
previously unaware of</i></b></span>, in addition to the ones you are actually acutely
annoyed or hindered by!</span><br />

Yesterday, I led my first Awareness Through Movement Class after a hiatus from teaching.<br />
<br />
One woman showed up with hip pain. The most obvious difference between her stance and the other women in the class? She stood with her feet really close together. Not functional, in space or in life. Talk about women being trained to undermine their own success, aliveness and sense of place in the world. Conscious or not, we women have taken in the subtle message to keep our legs together. Especially women who have grown up in the fifties and sixties.<br />
<br />
But what other toxic messages have we imbibed from visual media alone? Looking at this photograph, I hear whispers that it's more feminine, that we are here to be pretty, not powerful, that we if we comply, then we get to take advantage of the commandment to manipulate: the only power women are allowed. Why? Because its a form of shadow power, it's not real. Real power emanates from a sense of connection to one's inherent right to be in the world. You would not be here if you were not completely unique, a part of all that is, even as the waves are an intrinsic part of the ocean. You are here to express your unique gift, not to manipulate men into desiring you or your 'services' whatever your skills might be.<br />
<br />
So, back to the hip pain thing. Her idea, this lovely woman who showed up for the class, was that she was always trying to do her best, to do the right thing. In this case, she had learned the right thing, or so sh thought, in yoga. She had learned to stand with her feet together in a yoga pose and assumed the famous American axiom that 'more is better' must be true. In some cases it is, in some cases it's not. Sorry, there are no absolutes in life. Be easier if there were, but until that time, you'd do better to trust your own sense of what feels right. Yoga is an amazing practice for opening the heart - in that realm it's powerful like no other. Yoga is great for strength and stamina, but it's not meant to be practiced with the rigidity of a boot camp. It's not about standing at attention, it's about standing with awareness. If you stand in a Pilates stance all the time, the same thing holds true: you will exhaust yourself and be more stressed. There is a time and place to practice and neither of these excellent exercise methods are meant to teach you a way to stand all the time.<br />
<br />
In fact, any fixed idea about how to be that we impose on ourselves is an external construct. Free yourself of the imposition of conceptual ideas about how to stand and I can pretty much guarantee that most of your hip pain will go away. Make it your practice to listen to your body, not the ideas others have taught you, for they are meant to help you, not direct your life for you so that you don't have to.<br />
<br />
With respect, I no longer believe it helpful to tell people what they want to hear, but rather, I stand for the truth. And that's just the truth as I see it. You have your own. Live it.<br />
<br />
Namasté,<br />

Writer Natalie Goldberg tells a story about how she first met the local Zen Master and found him less than impressive. At some point afterwards she went to a wedding in Hawaii where he was also in attendance. Then, a few weeks later, she went back to the Zen Center to find him wearing a vibrant pink Hawaiian orchid from that very same reception. When she commented in surprise, he said, "Yes. When you take care of something, it lives a long time."<br />

<br />
Even so with ourselves. We are conditioned to ignore this small detail that can prolong both life and joy. Taking time, taking time out, none of these are encouraged. Instead, as a society, we are admonished to strive. As children we are prompted to succeed. As young adults we are shoved out the door and told to sink or swim.<br />
<br />
This is all such a given we hardly even notice it. <br />
<br />
Conditioned to strive, to succeed, to get it done, we have to actually give ourselves <i>permission</i> to take care of ourselves, to nurture ourselves or to do what brings us joy! This leaves a vague sense of stress, of feeling depleted, of being unappreciated. Yet, the choice is ours. We can choose to buy into this subliminal social conditioning to produce, or we can enjoy the process of our lives. In a complicated world, it's a simple choice really. To take time out to savor being in a body, to take care of our bodies, to enjoy being embodied?<br />
<br />
<b><i>Awareness Through Movement</i></b> Provides a clear path to enjoyment on the physical plane. The fact that it also helps maintain smooth functionality in the body at the same time is icing!

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Life is chaotic (a pattern). Everyone seems to have their own agenda (a pattern), or at least their own strongly held convictions (a pattern), about how things should be done, their own lens (a pattern), through which they see the world and make sense of the seemingly incoherent movement of time, technology and ideas, not to mention politics, economics and power. <span style="color: purple;">Neuroscience sees the world through the filter of it's own studies, which of late, have brought new insights into the discussion about how we make sense of experience.</span> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">For example, what if, because of the way our brains are designed, we only understand reality through the veil of past experience (another pattern)? For example, you recognize the logo above as a bar code (yes, it's a pattern!), even though you didn't think about it; it was a visual recognition that occurred below the level of conscious awareness. You made sense of the image without thought, based on past exposure to bar codes over a lifetime of shopping in supermarkets that use them on every item they sell. If its true that we can only perceive an experience based on past experience, <i style="color: red;">neurologically,</i> then given that knowledge, we can be a little more detached from 'being right,' (a seriously deeply ingrained pattern!), and a little more objective and compassionate in realizing that others see the same situation as we do, but from an equally valid perspective. This could be <span style="color: red;">a huge step in the direction of creating a coherent integration of understanding among peoples across a world divided not so much by geography as in past centuries, but more by minds that are set in peaks and valleys of righteousness, </span>which, like walls of certainty, interfere with coherent integration and living with each other in a way that makes sense.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Consider this: At the first Being Human Symposium held March 24th, 2012, in San Francisco, Beau Lotto, who holds a </span></span>Ph.D. from Edinburgh's Medical School in cellular and molecular developmental neurobiology, demonstrated just how differently we understand the meaning of experience based on the perspective we are coming from. He runs the Lotto Lab in London: an experiential public research lab that specializes in perception. <b><i><span style="color: #3d85c6;">By means of a number of ingenious illusions, he demonstrates the divide between what we perceive and what is actually there. </span> </i></b>He began clarifying the divide by using a visual illusion based on the perception of color, since, he says, 'Its is one of the simplest things the brain does,' which is remarkable in and of itself when you think about it. For years I have been reading about these kinds of visual illusions, never really understanding their relevance to reality. Lotto is a vivacious presence with a mischievous sense of humor which you can get a sense of by viewing an older version of his presentation from a <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/beau_lotto_optical_illusions_show_how_we_see.html" target="_blank">TED talk</a> given in 2009.<br />
<br />
By showing a variety of images in successive illusions that challenge you to discern which colors are held in common, you begin to realize <b><i>experientially</i></b>, that context is everything. Without understanding that the context, or the lens through which we see a thing either puts certain distinctions in bold relief or tends to cast them as minor by setting them in the background, we will never realize how biased our most cherished perceptions are; including the one that holds that we are unbiased.<br />
<br />
One of the things that was so moving and powerful about this symposium, was that it was<span style="color: #674ea7;"> a true attempt to create a meeting of the minds between the hard sciences and the social sciences, and between how the brain makes meaning of reality through the senses and how our environment, our familial, social, and cultural assumptions and perceptions dictate our behavior 'below the hood;' in other words, without our conscious awareness. </span>Psychology proclaims that at least 80% of anyone's behavior emerges out of subconscious impulses. If we behave in ways that are driven by things we don't even notice, no wonder we are at loggerheads with each other on most issues that impact us all. All this and more is the domain of AWARENESS THROUGH MOVEMENT, hence, my enthusiasm: this is a major move in the direction of understanding how somatic experiencing contributes much more than an understanding of movement, it's trains us to refine our perceptions, be clearer in our communications, to evolve a functional life and a functional ability to survive on a planet we have compromised by our lack of understanding of these principles up to now.<br />
<br />
Another piece of somatic understanding that was implicit, although unfortunately not explicit, at this symposium, was the importance of balancing different ways of perceiving: via the intellect versus the non-verbal, via cognition versus imagination, via information versus the arts. Some might frame this as left brain versus right brain 'thinking,' although that model is also being questioned by neurology currently. <i style="color: #0b5394;">My only suggestion to improve this event, would be to include the awareness that experiential movement could have augmented learning for both audience and presenters, by providing relief from eight hours of sitting and by instigating a mental state change to prevent intellectual overload and further cement new learning as a somatic experience.</i><br />
<br />
So, although the lack of the inclusion of movement as a way of perceiving and sensing our environment, was an oversight that demonstrates the need for a better understanding of the efficacy of accelerated learning models as well as somatics on the part of the organizers, it was a really nice start to what I hope will be a continuing conversation about the intersection of understanding that can further human evolution when the linguistics department speaks to the education department, and the social sciences speak to the neurologists and when artists, musicians, poets, writers and movement educators are in conversation with philosophers, microbiologists, psychologists, and neurologists about how we shape our reality in functional ways.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">This is the very foundation of AWARENESS THROUGH MOVEMENT: it's the development of a learning process that integrates our perceptions, internal and external, with our actions into a functional relationship with reality. </span>To use the language brought into the conversation by Carl Ginsburg in his new book quoted at the beginning of this article, this is exactly how we create a agency, or the ability to direct our actions in functional ways as individuals and as a society:<i><span style="color: #cc0000;"> there can be no functional act without integration. And integration involves improved understanding of our own perceptions, sensations, awarenesses, how to augment them, how to develop them, and how to make them useful, intentional, coherent and organized so that function can occur with ease and grace like a symphony moving in apparent synchronicity.</span></i><br />
<br />

The horse, by this time, was fine. Myself? I was trashed. In the body scan, I noted how crooked I was. My neck was kinked off to the side.

It was an opportunity to 'unkink myself.' And that's the continuous magic of the FELDENKRAIS METHOD. </b></span><br />

It just feels more comfortable to be in my body, and my mind eases and finds it easier to remain in the present moment without having to police my thoughts, or 'try' to stop thinking (well nigh impossible anyway!). I didn't even have to finish the lesson, although I did, because it's relaxing. My muscles released their unconsciously held unequal tonus: that disjointed feeling of tension that is a result of having some muscles short, and some long - even at rest. My skeleton settled into an alignment that supports me in space both on the floor and in standing. When I stood up, I was more myself.</b></span><br />

</div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-size: 13px;">Yesterday, I was working on a particularly delicate desktop publishing project that was all about getting the spacing correct, lots of tiny changes that, if not saved, are pretty much a ‘start all over again’ deal. Suddenly, the power cut off, and everything went dead. Years ago, I might have panicked. </span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 13px;">But, I have joked for years that I am the Queen of Starting Over. </span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 13px;"> I was not particularly disturbed. </span></strong></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"> </div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"> <strong><span style="font-size: 13px;">As a survivor of the experience of growing up in an alcoholic home, I have a lot of experience with thinking about how to get what I need when it appears as if the power lines have been cut. That feeling was pretty much an every day occurrence. Then, later, as an adult, I was a sitting duck for attracting abusive men. Why? I was so used to abuse I thought I deserved it. Water seeks it's own level. I will never forget facing the locked front door to my own home, hearing my six year old daughter screaming for me inside - but her father - God bless him - had changed the locks.</span></strong></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"> </div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"> <strong><span style="font-size: 13px;">He was the King of the Perfect Family, and as such, since we were over as a partnership, was committed to getting me seamlessly out of the picture so he could find a new wife a.s.a.p. This new individual, this </span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 13px;"> a new mother, he would then</span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 13px;"> insert into the space left vacant by my sudden exit from abject emotional servitude. Never, 'in my wildest dreams,' did it for one second occur to me that he would completely cut me off from my baby. </span></strong></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-size: 13px;">When we had first discussed bringing our daughter into the world, we had made an agreement. We had agreed that if it ever happened that we did have to separate, neither of us would use her as a pawn to hurt the other. He probably didn't think twice about breaking that commitment I had made with such solemnity with him. From his perspective, I guess he thought he was protecting her. <i style="color: #0b5394;"><b>What he was really protecting was his ego. Love does not create separation.</b></i></span></strong></div><div style="color: #0b5394; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"> </div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"> <strong><span style="font-size: 13px;">For me it was a loss that cut to the very foundation of everything I held dear. As a recovering addict, six years earlier, having a baby had been a momentous decision for me. I knew it would be hard, not something to do lightly. But after much thought and soul-searching, I had determined to have this baby as a demonstration of my new-found commitment to life, an act of saying 'YES!' at a profound level of my own experience. An addict is committed to slow suicide. </span></strong></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-size: 13px;">The commitment to Love, and to have the audacity to bring another living being into this world was a huge shift for me. For any mother, having a baby is an act of faith in the universe, of hope that the world is not such a bad place. For me, this was a step into trust far greater than any I had ever taken before. And, it was about to be tried almost beyond endurance. This is not the place for the whole story, but I will say that I never picked up again, no matter how close to the depths of despair I came during the n</span></strong><strong></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 13px;">ext few years. I was a mother now, no matter how near or how far I was from my daughter.</span></strong></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"> <strong><span style="font-size: 13px;">When I left that house, where I had endured abuse both physical, mental and emotional, I was beaten, broken, ashamed, emotionally and physically depleted. At that point there was no question of fighting for what was true and right. This righteous father called the nastiest lawyers he could find into play and their tactics where as sleazy as they come. I was broke, homeless, and had no skills to speak of. They say battered women have ‘Self Esteem Issues.’ Well try having no self esteem at all, at all. See how far you get in the world. People walk all over you, they take advantage, they step on you. There is no reprieve. And if you’ve just been through years of trauma that the violent relationship represents, you think you deserve it. Because that’s how you’ve been programmed.</span></strong></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><strong style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">When I tread the dry texts of psychology, that speak about me as if I were a rare specimen, instead of a common occurrence, they talk about having an unhealthy ‘Sense of Self.’ What IS that? Well, the text-book definitions are abstract, as are all attempts to categorize and study something from the outside. All I k</span></strong><strong style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"></span></strong><strong style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">now is that the best way to understand what it means to have a healthy Sense of Self, is to try living without one!</span></strong> <br />
</div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-size: 13px;"></span></strong></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">Nowadays, things are very different indeed. As a FELDENKRAIS practitioner, I work with healthier ways of shaping and molding the way we perceive ourselves in relationship to our environment all the time. Now if that sounds like jargon, it’s because in the abstract it is. Without relationship to something actually happening, it’s theory. But within myself, or within the people I work with, it’s a tangible shift in perception.</span><i><span style="color: #351c75;"> </span><span style="color: #0b5394;">It’s a way of relating to self and the world as if I matter. It’s connecting to the sense that what I think and feel is important on both an internal and an external level.</span></i></span></strong></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br style="background-color: #9fc5e8; color: #0b5394;" /> <span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #0b5394;">What I sense IS how I notice that I am thinking and feeling.</span> For people living in the trauma of a constant crisis, either in the occupied territory of a war zone in a foreign country, or, in the war zone of their own home if violence is the norm, sensing and feeling is INTENSE. So intense, in fact, that it’s common to turn it off, tune it out. It’s the only access to any sense of peace internally, even if it is illusionary and temporary - until the next predictably unpredictable outbreak erupts.<br />
<br />
The problem with this is that if I turn off my ability to feel anything, I actually make myself even more prone to being taken off guard, to being hurt, to being a target. So victims, family members and war veterans alike usually more than compensate with developing a heightened sense of awareness to the ‘vibe’ around them. </span></strong></div><div style="color: #351c75; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="color: #351c75;">Hypervigilance is a symptom of trauma and it runs rampant in the homes of the multitude of dysfunctional families all over America. </span>Wake up people, this is not an uncommon issue. <i>(I was called for jury duty once. They had to eliminate potential jurists who had prior experience with domestic violence. One by one as each person was called and questioned, they were eliminated. By 10:00 a.m. about two thirds of the potential jurists had been released; approximately nine out of ten people, in this small American town in California, could not claim to have never been in contact with friends or family dealing with some form of domestic violence...) </i></span></strong></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"> <strong><span style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: small;"><b><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">Post traumatic stress syndrome is not just a veteran’s diagnosis. And, from my point of view, it’s not much of a diagnosis at all; it’s a symptom of a shattered sense of self - something entirely responsive to the gentle and safe environment of AWARENESS THROUGH MOVEMENT as a path home, back to a clear sense of how to feel. When used as a practice, it's delivers powerful juju: you discover how to create an internal sense of security and comfort from within. </span></i></b></span><br />
<br />
And, so the process of healing the pattern of choosing destructive relationships, is to learn, slowly and gradually, to <span style="color: #073763;">give credence to the possibility that what we ARE matters. Thinking my needs are completely insignificant is a learned behavior, and unconsciously shaped by the environment of emotional blackmail and manipulation that is pretty much the norm in the dysfunctional family dynamic. The good news is, you can unlearn it. </span></span></strong></div><div style="color: #073763; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"> </div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"> <strong><span style="font-size: 13px;">When I allow myself to feel, I can sense when conflict is immanent. Anyone has this ability. Just walk into a room where people have been arguing and it’s clear. I can also begin to sense when people are not emotionally safe, or trustworthy. When I give credence to my own perceptions, I can nip those patterns in the bud. With each new encounter, I can begin to open up only to what feels safe. It’s a feeling, and one that is so unfamiliar after so many years in a virtual war zone, that it takes dedication and time to relax into.<br />

When we are BEING it - that's an even deeper level of integration. Awareness allows us to begin to pay attention to how we are showing up in life. Are you showing up as an old burnt out truck or as the Garden of Eden that is your true Essence? What have you become?</span></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><strong>When there is a gap between what I say and what I do, my daughter looks at what I do. What I say then becomes what it is, merely words. She hears it like this: "Blah, blah, blah..." </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><strong>Given that this is so, it's an opening, a doorway into self-understanding. What time is it? Time to take time to notice the discrepancies. It's time to walk through the door that helps us heal what is broken in ourselves by beginning to notice where what we do and what we say is incongruent. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong><em>In a movement lesson, this shows up as having an intention to move in a way that fulfills the request of the lesson, but finding that what actually happens is something different. Our ability to sense the discrepancies in ourselves is heightened by the practice. We refine the ability to notice, in the moment, when we want to show up in a certain way but something else happens instead. We also refine the ability to self-correct.<br />
</em></strong></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong><em>For example, when I was in the thick of compulsive codependence, it took me years to notice how incongruent I was. In one relationship after another, I saw clearly the violence of the man I was with. It was demeaning. Over time, I felt my sense of self-worth diminishing. </em></strong></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong><em>I was unconscious of how it was slowly annihilating my sense of self. It was as if I was slowly crawling into a worm hole in their shoe, simply another thing for them to step on. I was unable to differentiate between myself and the other person. My sense of self was so submerged already, that when the recriminations came, they seemed only to confirm the shame I already felt.</em></strong></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong><em>Going back to how a movement lesson (ATM) relates, it helps us become sensitive to our own inner conflict, and how this shows up as moving in ways that are inconsistent with our intention. Certainly we do this all the time, but we are usually too busy to notice it. ATM provides a framework to support us in sensing what is usually below the level of consciousness.</em></strong></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong><em>Long before I ever encountered ATM, I had a vague sense that when I took a stand for my gut feeling that I did not want to see this abusive man any more, my body was conveying a completely different message. I was afraid, I was conflicted, I wanted his love more than anything and my body expressed this. </em></strong></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong><em>I would smile when I needed to be connected to my outrage. I would appear fearful in my stance when I needed to convey all the power in my being. My facial expressions gave me away, proof that I lacked the courage of my convictions.</em></strong></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong><em>Having an intention to move in a way that is congruent with what I am feeling deep inside so that I am not giving in to fear or people-pleasing is a whole body action. It means incorporating my whole self into my stance, my feelings, my beliefs, my light and my love and hope for a better life. All this ATM helps me refine. And it can help you too.</em></strong></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong><em>Our ability to sense the discrepancies in ourselves is a heightened level of awareness that brings us home to our own power.</em></strong></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">Thank you for reading! </div>Gabrielle Pullenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03728140303906523518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13169841.post-73249141778616903442011-03-05T16:02:00.000-08:002011-03-05T16:10:35.085-08:00Which Way Are You Facing?

When the parts of your Self are integrated into a whole, there is no need for more power or more control, because harmony is the natural result...</span></i></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Nowadays, the word, 'orientation,' is a buzzword in politics because of the issue of Gay and Lesbian marriage. In reference to which gender a person finds attractive, 'orientation' reveals what dominates their perception. Who will they move towards, and who will they tend to move away from? It very literally determines perception. Yes, this is a stereo-type, but most gay men have more fashion sense and than the average male has in their little finger. It's a function of what they happen to notice naturally.</span></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">But orientation has other meanings. It can be used to refer to a function of the mind: when you get a head injury, you are asked to demonstrate this function: what's your orientation in time, space and person? They will ask you, "What year is it? Where are you? What's your name?" When you woke up this morning, how did you know who and where you were? (This last was a favorite question of one of the Trainers in my four year Feldenkrais Training.) What he was really asking was, 'Are you aware? Is Awareness a function of the mind? How important is it?' Can you change something if you are not aware of it?</span></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><i style="color: blue;">What does it mean to be functional? It means to fulfill a specific purpose. A functional body can get you from point A to point B. </i>A functional mind fulfills it's purpose when it knows where it is in space, time and identity. </span></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Individual sessions of the FELDENKRAIS Method, are known as FUNCTIONAL INTEGRATION because they are about bringing the whole Self into a functional relationship with gravity. But this is NOT limited to time and space alone. Why? Because how we move in space IS how we interact with the world.</span></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">We interact via movement which is the basis of all action. We also interact via the sense organs, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Imagine seeing without moving your eyes, smelling fire without being able to move away from it, hearing a child scream without being able to do anything to help.</span></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: blue;">The advantage of erect posture is the the ease of being able to survey the environment, to rotate the head and body around a vertical axis - kind of like the telescope of a submarine - to assess orientation, and safety, among other things. The direction of orientation will determine what information comes into the database of the mind, the memory banks of experience.</span></span></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Moshe Feldenrkrais once said, "...our relation with anything outside, beyond what can be explored by the sense of touch, is determined through the movement of the head. All the information from the space around us comes through the head. And our relations with the world outside us affect the quality of the movement of the head most of all."</span></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><i style="color: blue;">The sense organs that dominate our orientation with reality are all double organs that are located in the head. Eyes, ears and nostrils all use two sources of data to find the intersection that locates the exact direction whence a potential danger, such as fire, or a possible opportunity, such as the scent of home-made apple pie, might be coming from.</i></span></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">"In most people, their heads show clearly...which parts of the space around them they rarely make contact with. The carriage of the head is characteristic of the general bearing and manner of acting of each person," Feldenkrais went on to say in the same article. It's no mistake that as people age, they can barely turn the head after a while. </span></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><a href="http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=10809056&msgid=1573828&act=A6VT&c=576493&destination=https%3A%2F%2Flh3.googleusercontent.com%2F-NRtHEvE3FZU%2FTWvnYlLBlRI%2FAAAAAAAAAJo%2FNjkINjc7Ewk%2Fs1600%2Ftoo-many-options.jpg" style="clear: left; color: black; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"></a><span style="font-size: 15px;">Why? Because how we move reflects how we think. </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">And gradually, most people give in to the phantom of 'Reality.' </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">How much sadness there is in the admonition, 'Be realistic! You're getting old, you're supposed to hurt.' After such an encounter in a doctor's office, most people gradually loose their sense of what's possible, even as they loose mobility in the neck and eventually stop looking outside the known space in front of them for their own answers.</span></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">How many times has that phantom crushed your hopes and dreams? The phantom that states that it's inevitable that we be crushed by the weight of gravity instead of stabilized by it. That we be diminished by the weight of experience instead of enlightened by it. That we give into pain as a permanently limiting factor, instead of challenging it's source and examining it's underlying message. Pain is the body speaking it's mind in the only way it can communicate it's infinite wisdom since it has no words.</span></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"></div><div style="color: blue; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Unfortunately, it does seem to be human nature to focus on what's wrong. The hope of the FELDENKRAIS Method lies in the way that it teaches you a completely new way to relate to life. The more AWARENESS THROUGH MOVEMENT (ATM) you do, the more you cultivate the new <i><b>habit </b></i>of looking for what works, what is easy, what feels good, what you may have overlooked.</span></div><div style="color: blue; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"></div><div style="color: blue; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">What new options are out there that have escaped your notice to date? <i><b>This only happens for people who keep doing ATM. </b></i>Why? Because it's a means of becoming aware of what we don't know. And it's fun, so why not keep doing it? It's a given that what we don't know is always changing, even as we change and evolve and grow. The only certainty in life is change. We need a means of coping with it, since it's the nature of life.</span></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">I got a new oven and gas range in my kitchen for Christmas. I love to cook. But I am still learning how to use this shiny new instrument of creation. It requires a change in how I think. I can no longer just look at the flame to determine the heat. Each burner is a different size and the size of the flame might be the same, but the intensity of heat differs from one burner to the next. So I have to think in terms of outcomes. I have to really look and see if the pan is pan is producing the result I'm looking for, or, am I simply going through the motions and getting an outcome that burns my food.</span></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: 15px;">ATM has taught me to integrate the results I'm getting, the changes I'm experiencing and the responses I make to life. It has taught me to orient myself differently. I used to be oriented towards self-destruction, suffering, martyrdom and self-loathing. It was simply a habit brought on by a life lived in some pretty difficult circumstances. My orientation was all about looking for a means of survival. </span></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: 15px;">It was completely outside the realm of my reality to orient myself towards somenthing so completely outside my experience as success, or happiness, or joy. But, slowly, I learned to change my habitual thinking. Change your habits, change your life. It's easy if you know how. I have spent the last 20 years looking for the fastest, the most effective, and the most comfortable ways to do this. And this is what I offer you, so that you don't have to go through what I went through!</span></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: 15px;">ATM provides a simple, concrete Method for changing your habitual thinking through the medium of moving while in a relaxed attentive state. You don't have to obsess about how you think, or what you think. It orients you towards your own best version of living, completely specific to you. It gives you the new reflex of looking at what works. Your life experience and history and preferences, as written in the template of your physical body, provide the clues. It's up to you to follow the path of bread crumbs to freedom. It's tasty fare, let me tell you. Unique to you, shaped by your own desire, longing and sense of what's right for you.</span></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> Quotations from 'Mind and Body' article in Embodied Wisdom, The Collected Papers of Moshe Feldenkrais edited by Elizabeth Berenger.</span></div><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Thank you for reading! </div>Gabrielle Pullenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03728140303906523518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13169841.post-46702616165174958012011-02-28T10:59:00.000-08:002011-02-28T11:02:31.268-08:00Too Many Choices<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhugyLTYya7TyuTT5-iALJn1GoFVjgfTHgmCXl6udNd4tzYklI2KwHsbDsA-zBMEH_SCDFA0xPgWHrI_Rjt0U_xf_ffbuS5Cvju1Ut9TDB3UTL7bmCPL9tHCyXP1IH6GVkhyJ44/s1600/too-many-options.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhugyLTYya7TyuTT5-iALJn1GoFVjgfTHgmCXl6udNd4tzYklI2KwHsbDsA-zBMEH_SCDFA0xPgWHrI_Rjt0U_xf_ffbuS5Cvju1Ut9TDB3UTL7bmCPL9tHCyXP1IH6GVkhyJ44/s320/too-many-options.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<i style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Ever enter a supermarket and go into the deer-in-the-headlight mode? Hmmn, what's the organizing principle going to be today? Is cheap more important than healthy today? Or, is healthy more important than going over budget? Or, are my cravings for junk food (chemically induced corporate control of the masses making the poor especially susceptible) going to win out over my desire to actually have more energy and feel good? And, more to the point, can I actually tell the difference?</span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;">It is a measure of the respect I have for the comment my esteemed FELDENKRAIS colleague posted after last weeks article that inspires a more lengthy response. I was going on about how improving our ability to sense ourselves may well be the greatest hope for humanity in terms of empowering people to freely modify their own behavior witout legislation, government interference or war. What he picked up on, though, was a question about whether or not FELDENKRAIS is about improving our ability to sense ourselves, or is it more about having additonal choices?<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;">Recently, I was listening to a comedian tell a story about staying with a friend and her two kids. Before breakfast these two kids, one 8 and the other 6, were grilled with options: cherios or frosted flakes? Toast or pop tarts? Milk or orange juice? And we wonder why kids born into privilege are willful! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;">Then there's a more difficult kind of choice. Typically, the average kid, whose parents are getting divorced, is asked who they want to live with. One million children in America are involved in a new divorce <i>annually, </i>according to divorcemagazine. That means that one million children are subjected to choice as one of the most stressful experiences they will ever encounter. Talk about having your loyalties pulled in two! For many, this is a set up for a sense that choices in general are difficult and stressful by association.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><i style="color: blue;">Objectively speaking, though, choices are like habits. </i>They either serve or they don't. Either they have been made already, or they remain incomplete and slow the whole process down. If I've already decided what to do in advance, I can act faster. If I have a habit about how to get up in the morning, I don't have to think about it and can get on with it. Come to think of it, habits are very closely related to choice. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;">Most habits are acquired by default and not by choice. So it is essential to evaluate habits every now and then, to make sure they still serve. The same is true of choices. This is a huge piece of what FELDENKRAIS is about. For example, when I sit with the same leg crossed over the other all day, how does that adversely affect my neck on one side? By the same token, a habit of eating frosted flakes since childhood can serve in dysfunctional ways, such as contributing to the potential for diabetes in an adult. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;">I won't make these connections immediately, but <span style="color: blue;">if I stay with </span></span><span style="color: blue; font-size: 15px;">AWARENESS THROUGH MOVEMENT (ATM) as a </span><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: blue;">practice, gradually the metaphor of movement becomes clear in relationship to the rest of my life. It simply falls into place as I move my attention from one part of my life to another and as I form the habit of noticing differences and similarities no matter what I'm doing. These two self-sensing mechanisms are intrinsic to the practice of ATM, and eventually become so deeply ingrained they are a part of me.</span><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;">I very much agree with the statement that, 'It's the questions we ask ourselves that determine the quality of our lives.' In , we encounter certain questions over and over again in any lesson. <i style="color: blue;">The bottom line in any lesson is always, 'Is it working for me or not?' and I evaluate that, by how it feels. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;">By refining my ability to sense myself, my environment, and, by extension, the results of my actions, I can tell if I am getting the results I seek or if I'm just running in circles. When shopping for food takes 2 hours instead of forty-five minutes, I'm missing the sunshine outside! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"></span><br />
<div style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">I really appreciate this topic, because it makes me acutely aware that having choices is really demanding and requires an organizing principle. If I live my life as a free-for-all where anything goes and choice is king, all I've got to show for myself is anarchy. Believe me, I know, I lived the first 25 years of my life this way and it's exhausting! One of the organizing principles I learn in ATM is to seek out the feeling of the force of gravity running through my bones instead of fighting it with my muscles. I learn to use it to my advantage to hold my structure in a stabilizing compression that leaves my muscles free for movement, creative expression and whatever work I have to do.</span></div><span style="color: blue; font-size: 15px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;">T</span><span style="font-size: 15px;">hose of you who have worked with me have probably heard me say, 'Strength without coordination is like the scene in the old black and white film when the monster, Frankenstein, rises off the mad scientist's table after a good jolt of lightening and rambles off into the village where people run screaming from his presence.' </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><i style="color: blue;">Coordination, by definition, is an organizing principle. In the case of FELDENKRAIS, and I learn to organize myself so that I live in the middle of all possible options, so that I can easily move in any direction at any time. Not only is it perceived as safer by the nervous system. It's perceived as a feeling of security, and a sense of psychological freedom and empowerment. </i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><i style="color: blue;"> </i>I can learn this principle, if I'm sharp enough to pick it up, from Martial Arts, or Yoga, but in ATM it's a primary goal. In ATM, it's not just a means to an end, it's a main theme in every lesson. The point is not simply to have more choices, but to have a way to 1) discern my choices in the first place, and 2) to choose more functional choices than I have in the past, and 3) to be able to sense when circumstances have changed and be able to respond accordingly.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"></span><br />
<div style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">The gift and the legacy of Moshe Feldenkrais is that he created an easy Method for anyone use to discover how to move in the direction of the unknown without an expert or someone telling them 'What their problem is.' It's very foundation is in learning to be self-directed. </span></div><div style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"></span></div><span style="color: blue; font-size: 15px;">At first, we learn how to use the framework of a lesson to discover how to make more comfortable, safe and functional movement choices. Once the nervous system recognizes the difference, by how it feels, it becomes a new habit. It no longer requires the safe environment of a lesson to be implemented, it crops up when needed. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;">I was just listening to FELDENKRAIS Trainer, Elizabeth Beringer, mentioning a client who did a lesson involving the judo roll. She complained after the lesson to Elizabeth that she felt she didn't 'get' it. Of course, Elizabeth told her there was nothing to 'get,' it's a process that goes on in some place other than the intellect. The woman then went on with her life. A while later, she took off for a bycycle ride and was abruptly knocked off the bycycle only to roll spontaneously on the ground completely unharmed to the applause of the people looking on. She had no idea how it happened. The magic of the nervous sytem is intact should we care to trust it's infinite intricacies to the schooling of the FELDENKRAIS Method!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"> <b><span style="color: blue;">Imagine, what would it be like to live a life based on the organizing principle of choosing greater ease, of making more functional decisions without having to first decide if functional was more important than whim, or approval, or duty? So, I agree whole-heartedly, choice is a huge part of FELDENKRAIS. It's a matter of first choosing to be more functional, and then choosing to notice the difference, and then feeling how empowering that sensation is, and finally, learning to notice those sensations even in the midst of chaos, even under pressure, even when not in the safe construct of an ATM lesson.</span></b></span><br />

Guess what? <i>"You've got mail!</i>" If you're driving, <i>you are a part of the car. </i>That place behind and to the left of you as driver is YOUR blind spot. The inability to see another car coming up on your left when it's really close to your vehicle is YOUR limitation, not the car's. It’s remarkable that we don’t have more accidents, but some part of you often senses the other vehicle, often moments before peripheral vision can lay any claim to having contributed to perception.<br />
<br />
Growing up is like that. A child stuck with the frustration of learning to tie shoelaces may throw a tantrum. But as a parent, you know that after shoelaces, there’s reading, there’s going to school, and any number of unknowns that will need to be navigated to move into adulthood. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">As adults, we think we’ve arrived somehow and that there shouldn’t be any blind spots. Silly humans. </span>The ancient Greek word, ‘hubris’ may not be very popular anymore, but it’s sure a rampant behavior! Where, in society, do you see the extreme arrogance of people over-estimating their competence?<br />
<br />
The weird thing is that teenagers and young adults can get away with it. There’s a phase in everyone’s life when you can bluff your way through anything with a blind combination of confidence and ignorance. It’s as if <i>Not Knowing</i> is no hindrance at all and you proceed along your merry way without thinking about it. It’s an gift of youth that gets tamped down by time, ground under the weary feet of the accumulation of disillusionment.<br />
<br />
<i style="color: #0b5394;">In the tradition of the American iconic folk singer Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger tells a story about two frogs. Now these two guys knew something about disillusionment, having survived the Great Depression. The story goes like this: one evening after milking the cows, a farmer left a tall can of milk in the barn without a lid. Two frogs hopped into the luscious fresh milk and then found they couldn’t leap out. After much thrashing around, the one frog said, "There’s no hope.” With one last gurgle, he sank to the bottom. The other frog thought, "There must be some other way," and refused to give up. In the morning, the farmer came out and found one live frog on top of a big cake of butter.</i><br />
<br />
Now the structure of an <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Awareness Through Movement</span>® (ATM) lesson doesn’t APPEAR to be about finding <i>hope-no-matter-what</i>, but it may well cultivate it. How? By virtue of the way it cultivates a habit of always looking for another, easier way to do whatever it is you are doing. For most of us, it’s a new habit altogether. When that happens, you start to have a new faith in your own ability to figure things out, even when you don't know what to do. <span style="color: #0b5394;">What is hope, but a sense that maybe I don't know everything, but it's gonna be okay? </span><br />
<br />
ATM cultivates this attitude towards life by teaching you a process of systematically experimenting with one specific option several times to check out how it feels until it’s clear. Then, you take a break, so that the next attempt is clearly separate or differentiated. Then, you try a<i> different</i> variation on how to do the same thing until it’s clear. An important piece it to take yet another short break, to give the brain time to process incoming sensations as data. Without these little rests, the brain has no opportunity to assess what works and what doesn’t. <br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #0b5394;">What’s the difference between one option and another? Without awareness, it’s all unclear. </span>Additionally, you’ll usually only notice if something is NOT working, when you give yourself a little break. This holds true for life as well as ATM. So you see, ATM provides vital life-skills. </i><br />
<br />
At first, differences may be vague, but they become increasingly more apparent. In ATM, the elusive is made obvious as a sense of having overused a few specific muscles without discrimination. The goal of any lesson is to notice which parts of yourself you are NOT using that could be making a bigger contribution. <span style="color: #0b5394;">Which of your habits are serving you and which ones are limiting you?</span> Again there is a chance to develop a primary life-skill: it's not just about movement! Which of your habits in thought, word and deed are no longer serving you?!?<br style="color: #0b5394;" /><br />
This question of 'Which parts of you are not coming to the party?' is posed in the background of <i>every</i> ATM lesson. It's said that it's the questions we ask ourselves that determine the quality of our lives. <i><span style="color: #0b5394;">This question is a direct path to expanding the boundaries of what you don’t know.</span></i> From my training and from working with hundreds of people, I can guarantee that there parts of yourself are you not even aware of, so that they couldn’t participate if they wanted to. Chances are you even have a sense there there is something you don't know that you need to know, but it's so vague you don't even know where the problem lies or who to ask. In ATM, you don't need to know. When you pursue this as a practice you do on a regular basis, the clues to where the answers lie get laid out for you like bread crumbs leading you on a magic treasure hunt driven by your own curiosity.<br />
<br />
<b><i>And here’s another one of the other major gifts of ATM: every lesson is an opportunity to revisit the humility of childhood that allows you to BE with NOT knowing the answers, trying different things until the best answer becomes apparent.</i></b> This ability is not just helpful; it's a <i style="color: #0b5394;"><b>huge</b></i> part of the creative process. Artists, actors and writers never really know how their art is going to come out until it’s finished. Inventors, research scientists and innovators of social and environmental change also dwell easily in the realm of NOT KNOWING as a means of finding answers that have never manifested before. Remember when we thought the world was flat?<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #0b5394;">Listen up: it's not just about movement, it's about the evolution of human consciousness.</span></i></b> What's that, you say? This evolution is inherent in the gradual advancement of our sensibilities. For example, the advancement from the preoccupation with trivial social niceties due only to an elite who happened by chance to be born into nobility. This social superiority was carried by whiplash and tremendous suffering on the wings of the slave trade which finally led to a sense of hipocracy that took several hundred years to become enough of a FEELING of conflict between ideology and behavior after the <b><i><span style="color: #0b5394;">idea</span></i></b> of equality was written into the Declaration of Independence. Then, during the French Revolution, the momentum of the emotional charge between conflicting ideals and actions exploded in violence against the Nobility. The abolition of slavery in Britain and America did not lag far behind.<br />
<br />
Other examples of the evolution of human consciousness are inherent in the gradual worldwide shift from colonialism and despotism to a more equitable political systems where people are not starved or locked up without trial. It's also evident in the slow change from religious persecution - the Inquisition, for example - to religious freedom. It's inherent in the shift from segregation to civil rights, or from women-disposed-of-as-property - whose very children were taken from them when widowed - to women-seen-as-individuals with their own right to own property and how to best care for their children. I could go on, but I won't. You get the idea.<br />
<br />
The significance of this is that we usually think of it as an evolution of ideas. In actual fact, it's the self-revulsion and the sense of horror all these ways of behaving evoked in both witnesses and in perpetrators that gradually changed our way of thinking about those once common practices. Hence, the evolution of ideas has it's seed in our ability to sense ourselves.<i style="color: #0b5394;"><b> The Information Age is over. This is a New Era: one in which our ability to sense ourselves is the key to moving out of old, insane social structures that foster violence and destruction into ways of being that work for more and more people. Now I'm not saying <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Feldenkrais</span></b></i><span style="color: #0b5394;">®</span><i style="color: #0b5394;"><b> is the only path at all; but I am convinced that it is definitely one of the ways out of the madness. What madness? A world that turns a blind eye to 12 million souls wasting away their lives in refugee camps while on the other side of the globe, a floating mass </b></i><i style="color: #0b5394;"><b>of plastic garbage from affluent countries gradually grows bigger than </b></i><i style="color: #0b5394;"><b>the size of Texas. If you haven't heard about it, it's</b></i><i style="color: #0b5394;"><b> in the Pacific ocean.</b></i><br />
<br />
<i style="color: #0b5394;"><b>The core of ATM is improving our ability to sense ourselves. The impetus for the evolution of consciousness is in the refinement of our sensibilities as sentient beings gifted with the awareness to know the difference between hypocrisy and integrity. It's a FEELING. Feelings are registered as sensations in the body. The greater our sensitivity to feel the effect of what we do, the faster we will move through the anger, the fear, the guilt, the shame, the denial, and finally, into constructive action.</b></i> Ah, there's one more vital element: the cultivation of allowing ourselves the feel whatever comes up without resistance. ATM is about that too.<br />
<br />
This is what the <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Feldenkrais Method</span>® has to offer a world entrenched in economic, environmental and social turmoil. It’s a pathway into the unknown, a yellow-brick road from chaos into order; an order that respects the individuality of each unique living, dynamic system, and at the same time honor’s it’s potential for contribution to the well-being of the whole. If you would like me to be your guide on this road, it would be my pleasure.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><i>How I Moved Out of Back Pain That Would Have Kept Me From Everything I Love To Do In Life...</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After all this rain, there is a sun! It would seem I lead a charmed life. After the first six weeks, eventually the buckets of rain washed away all previous footing in the horse corral until the big dutch warm blood, affectionately known as ‘Himself,’ after the Irish tradition, churned up a soupy mess of wet clay with his huge feet. It was like quicksand, only worse, because it was on an incline and I was afraid it would suck his leg right under the fence, forcing him into a position he couldn't’t get out of. Miraculously, he never lost a shoe. (I have an excellent horse shoer - my spouse - is the head farrier at U.C.Davis Large Animal Veterinary Hospital). But the mud was treacherous, slippery and seemingly bottomless.
</span><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There I was, slogging around digging trenches in the wet clay for the water to drain out, spreading a half ton of gravel into the corral by hand in the downpour, changing out soggy wet blankets in the relentless rain that went on for a good three months solid. <i><span style="color: purple;">My back never once gave me a twinge of discomfort. Not once.</span></i> I never was incapacitated by back pain, neck pain or a knee problem.
But it was not always this way. Thirty years ago, when I was in my twenties, my back went out while I was picking up a tissue from the floor and I was down for the count of three full days looking at the ceiling. In that time, I had plenty of opportunity to think about what I would be willing to do to be able to walk again. I tried a lot of things as you can imagine. I also had more problems along the way. I have survived seven whiplash injuries including a few concussions mostly from car accidents, but a few from falls off horses - mostly while jumping. </div><br />
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But still I lead a charmed life. I have never broken a bone.
Yet, the most amazing experience for me has been the slow introduction to the FELDENKRAIS Method. That is what has given me this ability to do really heavy physical labor without any physical fall out. It’s what has taught me to work my body smarter, not harder.<i style="color: magenta;"> It’s what has given me a new sense of self that is stronger, more adaptable and more grounded.</i> Now I can lift, sweep and tote that bale with the core of myself, activated by the use of the pelvic floor in a way that has so completely reorganized my use of self that I no longer fear the work involved in keeping horses.<br />
<br />
In short, FELDENKRAIS has allowed me to pursue my dreams and live the life I have always wanted to, in spite of injuries that, for most people, would be so debilitating that most exercise would be suspect or painful at the very least. With this gift, I can continue to be a part of that amazing dance with the horse that is a give and take that is non-verbal; a relationship with the horse wherein my body is my voice; one that has called to me my entire life.<br />
<br />
Oh, to sense that soft muzzle in my hand, and to see that beautiful clear eye waiting, inviting, challenging me to play, to run, to buck and to experience the warm sun like any new foal drunk on the warmth of the sunshine after a long hard season of gray fog and rain... </div><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=13169841" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=13169841" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

Here's the deal: the exercise of noticing these little changes is really about growing our ability to tune in and be connected to the physical body. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">It's how we learn, but it's also how we can learn to move through pain, trauma and limitation.</span><br /><br />This apparent paradox </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">is not to be resolved. </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Some changes don't last.

It's the changes in how you move, how you are organized that stick. It's such a fundamental shift that it changes how we relate to everything we do.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">How quickly we are able to absorb these changes depends on our ability to tolerate things unknown,</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-style: italic;">*</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> and our openness to new learning.</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br /><br />Yesterday, I was delighted to work with some new recordings that I am unfamiliar with. In contrast to regular exercise, what's fun is the adventure of not knowing what's coming. <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153); font-style: italic;">This is an especially useful aspect of ATM because it gives access to beginners mind</span>, the ability to sense one's own body from the point of view of someone who has never had a body before. It's kind of like experiencing yourself for the first time with the newness of the newborn babe. </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br /><br />Anyway, based on my history of seven or more whiplash injuries to my neck, compromised by too much time learning dysfunctional software on the computer (Who comprehends what goes on in the minds of programmers?!? - but thank you anyway - lest I be deemed ungrateful for some of the things computers can do!) - I meet the mat in a certain way. I find my silhouette bears the traces of a lifetime of proclivities. It's a certain expression of who I am in the same way that my thumbprint is unique to me alone.<br /><br />It changes a bit from day to day, but not in huge ways. Depending on the season, for example, when there is more gardening or digging to do in the early spring my body manifests a slightly different shape than when I spend a lot of time raking leaves in fall, because it's an activity that makes for using oneself in a different way. Or, if I have been on a road trip and sitting on a motorcycle for six hours for days on end, I notice a completely different set of small changes. It's a miracle I am forever grateful for that I can do any of these things given my history of injuries. Feldenkrais, you rock! (An aside to Moshe, wherever you are.)</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br /><br />So, to get on with my tale, I was doing a very interesting ATM with the pelvis that woke up the residue of an incident I had on horseback a couple of years ago. It's not something that bothers me much, but it's like a residual reminder of what was going on at that time. <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Like all injuries, I figure it was a wake up call. Question is, a what was it saying?</span> I believe the issue will be completely resolved when I completely get the message. In this case, it has to do with traveling through time back home to where I grew up, and letting go of ways I relate to that that no longer serve me. But that is a different story, for another time.<br /><br />As I moved my body according to the request in the ATM, trying to sense what other parts of me moved along with the focus on the pelvis, <span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">I went through a myriad of emotional states: I was alternately puzzled, curious, bored, tense, relaxed, overcome by huge, global yawns, and gradually more global in my movements. </span>In other words, although the lesson appeared to focus on one specific area, it was a means to an end (as any ATM is). In this case, it was a way of using a local movement in the butt cheeks to awaken a more global neurological response: moving FROM the pelvis. The lesson was about tuning into, refining, improving how that affects the way the legs meet the hip sockets, how the knees accommodate that, how it affects the way the feet meet the floor. It was also about how the back responds to mobility (or lack thereof) in the pelvis, how the shoulders respond, and ultimately, always ultimately how the carriage of the head is achieved over the torso in any upright position or motion.</span> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Not only was it about all that, but my body got it without my brain having to understand it at the time;</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"> </span>kind of like being able to get to your destination by following the directions without really knowing where you are going.<br /><br />Hence, the answer to that question about changes. <span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-style: italic;">After I got up off the mat and walked up the hill to feed my small heard of two horses, I felt as if I was sashaying on the dance floor of civil war-era Charleston in a huge dress with flouncing petticoats - even though I was actually working my way up a dusty red hill covered with fist-sized rocks </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">that try to trip you up every couple of feet. (We are rock farmers here in the Sierra Foothills; not unlike Wales, Ireland, or canton Graubuenden in Switzerland). </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br /><br />This morning I woke up to sashay up the hill again. Horses like to be fed regular and promptly, thank you! Those changes were still with me. I waltzed up the hill with a sense of gratitude for a new, amazing day in which I get to feel younger than I have any right to feel - if the pundits were allowed to have their way with me. But who cares about the opinions of 'experts' anyway? If I left the care of my body to others, I would most likely be on painkillers and living a pretty sedentary life, limited by the fear instilled in me by those who tell me what not to do, or that it's to be expected 'at my age,' instead of how to find solutions that allow me to dance, sing, run and ride (most importantly ride!) with a power born not of muscular strength alone, but of something much more primal, and fundamental to learning: the ability to notice small changes. Some stick, some don't, but the ones that do, watch out, 'cause they completely change the way I relate to the world and to life and to being in a body. The feeling of youth may be wasted on the young, but I ain't gonna let it slide again! I did miss the boat the first time around (long story), but, believe me, it won't happen again. This time we are gonna relish the ride with gusto...</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">*</span> <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">This is why the FELDENKRAIS Method is such a huge leap for humanity: it can provide a catalyst for tolerance that is powerful enough to completely change how we relate to others, so that we learn to tolerate diversity, all things foreign, even points of view we disagree with. It has the potential to further 'humans judging' into actual 'humans being' in peace with themselves and others. </span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">Thank you for reading! </div>Gabrielle Pullenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03728140303906523518noreply@blogger.com0
