Clear communication seems as elusive as the pot of gold

Posted on June 13, 2014 | Leave a comment

Speaking/listening, or a lack of it, has caused many of us a considerable amount of trouble. Clear communication seems as elusive as the pot of gold, perhaps because we were not educated in the topic as a child. As the new ‘children of light’, begin to ﬁnd themselves in positions of power, it could actually be put on the top of the school curriculum, but for now…we’re on our own ……………read more

How do you handle blocks along your path?

Posted on June 11, 2014 | Leave a comment

Do you always step aside letting others pass you?
Are you the one that blocks the path and ensures others have to step around you?
Or do you switch back and forth? First moving out of the way and then becoming the blocker?

getting InTouch - Value - Food

What is your relationship with food? Reflect on how you personally feel about your diet. Consider if you find the textures, colors and tastes pleasurable to your senses. If not, what might the cause be? Reflect upon whether you may be taking food for granted or if you have a deep appreciation for food.

It is only when we have an inner appreciation for our food that we will connect to giving from the heart to others with less than ourselves without guilt, shame or resentment. Renee, June ’14

Body Balance: Inverted Foot

Posted on May 25, 2014 | Leave a comment

images (1)

Observing and exploring an inverted foot posture I was told that due to a medical condition as a child the tendons in some of the toes had been cut. With no opinions and continuing to investigate what movement was available, without any one particular focus, the lesson ended with new joint movement in the ankle. There was also more contact between the foot and the floor with less inversion.

Upon return for the following lesson the foot presented itself without being inverted! The curling in was not present.

Renee’s notes: When viewing the inverted foot the image of a baby who has not put any weight on their feet yet or developed their limb, ankle and foot muscles is what came to mind. Exploring it from this perspective created a curiosity that led the lesson.

Recommendation: Explore the facts with a curiosity and forget the labels!

FAQ – Who would come to Inside Awareness?

Posted on May 21, 2014 | Leave a comment

This is a great question:

The focus of Inside Awareness is on learning to increase the quality of life experiences beginning inside and expanding out. Much like a drop water expands equally out on all sides. The learning practice is based upon the four aspects of self; physical, emotional, mental and beliefs which are easily translated into focused areas of personal and relationship development.
Inside Awareness programs have been designed for early childhood to end of life, (and all stages in between!) Patterns of movement, habitual behavior and language, and lifestyles are a thread through life and are unconscious actions and reactions until a focus of attention is placed on them specifically. Learning with Inside is designed for developing this skill so something new can happen! This is to learn moving beyond conflict, pain and struggle with more awareness and ease into a space of deeper connection inside and outside.

Therefore adults, parents, children, educators, employees and employers would benefit with these learning and coaching programs.

Exploring without rules is learning!

Posted on May 17, 2014 | Leave a comment

A few hardcore Feldenkrais® students came to join in one evening of Conscious Movement through Dance. As the circle began sharing it was explained that the evening wasn’t a Feldenkrais® focused event for their benefit. They chose to stay and take part in a movement with the intention to connect conscious awareness and action in a dance pattern. This concept had been explored with the other participants for a several nights before. This evenings focus was putting patterns of isolated movements into a bigger flow of patterns to experience.

As the larger focused movement pattern was taken up off the floor into big movements a smile crossed their faces. They mentioned that they had never taken their Feldenkrais® lessons off the floor, therefore never experienced them in an upright action! Beautiful moment that encouraged the remaining group members to smile.

Exploring without rules is learning!

Many thanks to the Church of Truth in James Bay for their support in hosting this wonderful series and letting us play with Conscious Movement in Dance!
