Don't waste the opportunity. Timing is everything! The Solstice is now! Grab a piece of paper. Write down everything you're ready to let go of: all the people, the situations, the crises, the negativity, the crap, the stuff, the non-negotiable I-am-so-done- with-this stuff. Work your pen! Burn it! ✨

Dr. van der Kolk argues that to manage trauma, one must engage the entire organism—body, mind & brain—moving beyond traditional talk therapy. Feldenkrais >Literally< gives you the skill to use awareness through movement to relax the hypertonic fight/flight response.

"Many of us in this modern, dominant culture of North America walk around with a deep 'elder hunger' but we don't recognize it as such until we meet someone willing to elder." Are you willing to elder? Do you own the literacy of your embodied experience?

Do you listen to your body? Are you more sore on 1 side of your back than the other? Lay on the floor & just roll from side to side gently, slowly. Can you sense which side is painful? STOP. That's feedback. Roll to the other side. Put your leg over the other. & roll to where it feels delicious!

Dis-Ease is caused by the buildup in body, mind & spirit of that which you would want to relinquish anyway. They cause stagnation. Therefore, release deliberately with deep Cleansing Breaths every day...Dishes pile up. Laundry accumulates. Why would you not treat tension with the same attention? 🌬️

The Feldenkrais method - It's amazing. It's so good that it sounds too good to be true: it reduces friction in your joints, it releases unconscious tension from years & years of unconscious habit, it allows for greater balance at any age. And I am living proof of that. at 64

Stress creates unconscious tension. Tension results in compression on delicate nerves. Compression means PAIN. To STOP the cycle, you have to be willing to learn to relax. DEEP relaxation, not just watching videos.

When your motives are clean and not attached to some force of coercive manipulation, or some sense of denial, or some sense of should, life is just easier, it's just more fun.

So most of the issues that plague you can be tracked long before they become a major issue. But we are taught to ignore the feedback until it becomes a $4,000 medical bill. Stop that.

Excruciating pain in the hand shouldn't mean you have to get carpal tunnel surgery. It usually starts in the shoulder or in the neck, but most people don't know this.

If we can't find a way to enjoy the life we have left, even if what's gone before has been difficult, what's the point? Right?

RELAXATION. Most people are too busy, having been conditioned to put work before pleasure, and production before quality of life, to even consider relaxing as something as vital as good sleep. Hello. What are you doing to relax?

Chronic pain management involves... 1. Medications...NO 2. Nerve Blocks...NO 3. Psychological Therapies... NO There's an easier, more pleasant way. relinquish the conditioning: Pain: Your Body Keeps the Score:

TONUS. In most people, the tonus in their muscles far exceed what's necessary. Tonus is the contraction of the anti-gravitational muscles at rest; these are the muscles that counteract gravity. This means you are using far more energy than necessary, but you can reset tonus if you know how.

How to manage pain: TENSION. Most people never take the time to scan their body, or even just the face, to notice if they are holding tension that could consciously be released.

Release this assumption that there is a magic cure. Learn to to align with the flow & move effortlessly toward greater expansion & a new reality. You already have the tools you need inside yourself. You just need to train them.

Do you know anyone who seems to have had some unnecessary medical interventions? Who's pushing that?

The first principle that you need to understand is that your body is a self
organizing mechanism. It wants to heal. That's its job to protect you and keep you
functioning. Doctors know this. Why do they deflect your attention from this foundational understanding?

Sometimes a gentle reminder helps ground you when the world is too insane to contemplate. Remember, Peace Starts Within, or simply, PSW, PSW, PSW...

Talk is cheap. Only a somatic approach for releasing trauma, can free you from chronic pain, especially the grief that has come out of relentless changes to the world we live in. Try it. Search for me on YT.

Complete the feedback loop of what your body is trying to tell you. Instead of treating your body as if it were a thing that only others can influence, reclaim your sovereignty by by learning how to address chronic tension.

when you feel threatened, when you feel shame or anger you can’t explain, when you mask your true feelings to fit in, or when you find yourself repeating patterns that hurt you, over and over again. That's NOT " Amore!" That's Trauma.😢
