Your Moving Mind

My short explorations in movement seem like simple and straightforward body-work. But at the back of my mind I’m always aware of the deeper foundation to everything we do: We are on a spiritual journey, a journey of learning and growth. Moving mindfully is an essential tool that makes the journey possible.

New to my work? Take a free 5-day introductory course that will show you what I mean. It leads you through some simple, short sessions of Mindful Movement, and at the same time, it takes with you the first (or next) steps on your own spiritual path.

In Persistent Growth you can sign up for the FREE mini-course, Mindful Movement Every Day.

This is a common distinction in the coaching world: Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset. This distinction is quite relevant to my work with Mindful Movement, which implies the ability of the brain to change, learn and grow at any age. To keep our mind-body young and active we must cultivate a Growth Mindset, and take regular steps to keep growing. 

Persistent Growth is my modest contribution to that: It takes you by the hand, day by day, toward growth, learning and improvement.

We have five senses, right?

Of course not. And today I want to highlight a forgotten and ignored sense that is at the foundation of our ability to move around and do things with grace and precision: Proprioception.

It’s the sense (or a group of senses, depending on which expert you ask) we explore in detail in the first years of our lives. Without it, the whole process of child development would be impossible.

In Feldenkrais® classes and in my Persistent Growth® sessions we use this sense to explore ourselves in movement. You can close your eyes and still know where your body parts are and what they’re doing. How do you know that? Proprioception.

Some people go through extreme endurance competitions, cross snowy mountains on foot, swim in freezing ocean waves, run, cycle, climb and overcome horrendous challenges, and are transformed by the experience.

Habits are necessary and we all have them. You want to

In this short episode I describe the small and powerful

I'm making a bold claim in this episode: Our perception of limitations is a choice. We are fundamentally limitless.

Are you a spiritual person?

Does your spirituality include your body? If not, you’re missing something…

Is intuition some kind of magic that pops up out of nowhere?

Intuition is knowledge you come up with in your area of expertise. It is how a creative mind functions.

The space between intention and action is where learning, change and growth can happen. But first we must be able to perceive that space. It can be very small.

"All change, as you know to be true, comes from within, and it starts from you first."

James Wedmore

If we’re still on time to save the world, the change will come from within. This is the work I, you, we, can do and must do to make this a better world.
