Connections, Creativity, Inspirations and Possibilities!

I think of our bodies in terms of the science of anatomy. It’s a puzzle how things join and fit perfectly together, enabling the union of one bone to another through a joint structure. Just like when you bring the pieces of a puzzle together, where you actually can see the image come together. In a cross word puzzle, you have to pause, slow down and think of what is the word or phrase that the clues are informing you of.

This leads me to think of how we do all the amazing things we do. Ponder this thought, when it doesn’t seem to flow, or fit together, you’re not able to think of or find the word, this is your hard wired pattern of forcing and pushing into resistance to make something happen, instead of thinking of another way to make the connection. Slow it down. You often need to pause and walk away to reset not only your intention but soften your focus so you can return to the situation and find a better fit.

Look for the quality where the action of bringing our parts together or apart, feels easy and effortless. The answer to the question pops in your brain like an explosion of an ah ha moment! Take the time to sense and feel how something slides into it’s connection instead of forcing it.

To me, it’s an art This is the process when giving a Functional Integration (FI)® session as well as teaching an Awareness Through Movement (ATM)®lesson. A skilled practitioner helps support you to reorganize yourself so that you can rest from all the unnecessary effort. Then you can relax on your own and find a new set point to start from. Each one of us has the possibility to become a better measuring instrument! How interested are you in finding this alternate pathway of ease that most of us as babies found on our own through self explorations and observations. How often do you find yourself in that place of self exploration an observation without judgement?

Just like any artist who sits, ruminates and ponders until some spark of awareness awakens within and then the flow of inspiration begins to unfold. The artist could be a writer, sculpture or painter, musician, dancer, chef… You too are an artist whether you realize it or not. I say this because you are here, present, living your life in this world of unknown chaos and finding your possibilities. Isn’t that living and experiencing the possibilities?

My purpose is to allow people to move closer to actually being creatures of free choice, to genuinely reflect individual creativity and emotion, freeing the body of habitual tensions and wired-patterns of behavior so that it may respond without inhibition to do what the person wants. -Moshe Feldenkrais

My Schedule has 3 afternoon ATMs this week, so I hope you find the time to honor yourself and explore with a gentle voice guiding you to find your pathway of ease. Even if in the beginning it feels more like the pathway of least resistance, you’re on your pathway, looking, listening, sensing and feeling your improvement with every pause and rest to reset your intention. And of course treat yourself to experience a private session that is created specifically for your own needs and learning!

Another reason to be grateful when I see interested people join me for their own learning an improvement!

Warmest,
