Body sense can change how your feeling!

How can your body posture create your attitude and behaviour and affect your sense of  well-being?

Emotions happen not just in the mind; they’re in the body as well.
One isn’t expressed without the other

Try this simple exercise to find out more…….

1.  What are you feeling now in this moment?  If you are not feeling happy, content, and are not enjoying the quality in the moment, uncross your arms and legs, sit up and start to notice if you have any tension in your jaw.
  • Are your teeth clenched together?
2.  Loosen your lower teeth from your upper and let your jaw become slack.
  •  Notice your tongue  placement and if it is against the roof of your mouth let it fall.  
3.  Relax your forehead, eyes and cheeks.
  • Take a moment  to massage the space between your eyebrows to soften the tight knot and widen your eyes a few times and then let them relax.  
4.  Notice your breathing pattern.
  • Are you holding your breathe?  If so, begin to breathe as you would normally and follow your exhale for 3 rounds of 5 breaths. Pause between each round.  If you notice each out breathe has a different length don’t change it, simply notice it.  A few times on an out breath, slouch, round your back and bring your upper arms together towards each other in the front.  Let your chest sink onto your diaphragm.  
5.  Now go back and notice how you are feeling.  
  • Have your original feelings shifted into something else?

It is impossible for you to think about something, without having some form of physical response to it.

Every thought always reflects through the body in some way, because of the electro-chemical, neurological, and physiological processes going on in both your brain and body.

This exercise demonstrates in a simple way how you can change your emotions and thought patterns through your physical body posture and patterns of movement.

 

Integrating the emotional and physical behaviors into ones own image of self

In private sessions with clients there is less distraction and the benefit can be  deepened awareness of their  own behavior.  This includes clarity  of how reactions are dependent on both thinking and locked in movement patterns.    The two are locked into behavior!

Clients searching for a change in their relationships will enjoy the simple movement techniques I introduce to increase their focus.   Some will begin to alternate between talking and movement sessions.  Both these types of sessions are designed to increase the success in their progress and are compatible.

Clients who come for improving their movement and reducing pain will find themselves integrating their emotional reactions that are  keeping them in their pain and strain.

Both types of clients discover physical movement and emotional reactions are married together in their reactions.  They come to know  the  value in  learning their automatic  habits.  If someone is able to observe their habits then there will be change.

One example is  a  client who discovered one of the largest muscles in their body and that they had not been using them.  They didn’t even know at first how to engage it!    This client originally came to improve their relationship connections.  To relieve their tension and increase their breathing patterns  I introduced small movements  for them to experience.  Afterwards  our sessions began to alternate between the two types of sessions, movement awareness and talking awareness.

They discovered a large muscle that was dormant and not being used.  They realized the strain that this put on their whole body in the effort to move in any activity.  They also realized they did not even know  how to activate this muscle.  There was no connection to the brain signals.

Then came  the awareness of  tension being held in another set of muscles.  The control that went into holding these muscles stopped any ability to  engage these new ones!  The control of this other set of muscles was directly related to emotional behavior!  The balance then came from intellectually knowing one is safe and supported to begin to release control.

I love my work!  When clients can experience their journey through learning techniques their journey is more concise and clear.  There is beauty in waking up the parts that have no brain awareness!  When this client stopped using these big muscles the brain lost the memory of it.  Therefore there is a disconnection until they relearn they have these muscles and  how to use it.  If they are not aware that they have stopped using it,  how will they even know about it?

This is something that cannot be learned through outside sources and activities. It takes a control environment of focused somatic learning.  

When the education stops change begin!

“Living your confidence balanced with empathy” in relationships and redefining ego

It takes courage to be heart-centered, confident and self-assured.  It also takes courage to live from this point of independence.

Experiencing any beauty in your relationships begins with your behavioral  patterns and how much inner-confidence and independence you feel balanced together with your ability for being self-assuring.

You may seek change by changing the way you look through diet, clothes, fitness  and re-designing your surroundings.  Do these last when you are affected by your relationships!  What is the first thing you reach for when you have a disagreement or are bored?  

What would your personal goal success rate be by starting with inner change support, so what you show on the outside is coming from the inside?

Brain learning from movement

One Jewel from Monday’s movement class: Brain learning from movement ~ stating focused area was blank, dead, not moving. Later – movement! Yes the brain can’t do what it doesn’t know yet….
