“Happiness is to be outside, to walk, to look, to amalgamate with things. Sitting down, you fall victim to the worst of yourself. Man was not created to be nailed to a chair. But perhaps he doesn’t deserve any better."

Throwback Thursday to the Human Architecture Series and the Pelvis There's a very specific reason I chose the figure 8 for my logo. This motion of initiating the spiral away from center to return back to center is precious to our movements. In the Adaptable Polarity series courses, we go over the first, and hopefully continual, movement of the sacrum in relationship to breath as it is one of the major cerebrospinal fluid pumps, or chi gates, or diaphragms (whatever language suits you best). This movement "should" be occuring even when we appear still. What then happens when we actually introduce motion? Locomotion? Lemniscate? We introduce side bending, one way. #coiling initiation? That frontal plane paired with sagittal plane gives us transverse plane? And we're off to the races. The most beautiful thing to me about seeing this motion through the pelvis, and feeling it too, is then the derivation through each spinal disc of the figure 8, , or Mobius coil? Now we're talking structure and energy

What's the secret to health? MOVEMENT! We were made to move. We were not made to sit all day and fill up the empty space inside a chair.
Your body tells you it does not like sitting all day too: aches, pains, stiffness, tightness, lack of concentration, daydreaming, and feeling old. It weakens your body. It weakens your brain. It shortens your life. It kills your spirit. And yet we continue (ourselves) AND to make our kids sit all day taking away the one thing that can ignite their brains...movement.
So get off your ass! It was not meant to be your feet.

Starting slow back into doing daily yoga. I’m so bummed I’ve taken off almost a month! I am so inflexible and my knee is so stiff. I am looking forward to progressing, feeling empowered and gaining back strength.
I didn’t mean for this blog to be 99% time lapses of me doing yoga but it has been so helpful in my daily life for both physical and mental aspects. When I broke my patella I didn’t think recovering would be a big deal. After I had the surgery to place the screws and wires to hold the bone back together, I knew life would never be the same. And maybe some day I will forget, but for the last 8 months I’ve thought about it every single day because it does limit me. HOWEVER ~ 2-3 months ago I couldn’t go from a low lunge to warrior 1 or 2, and now I can!! It feels so good. There’s nothing quite like that feeling. I can, most times now, move seamlessly without wincing through the transition. One small step in my life but one giant step for my mental and physical healing.
Write EACH verse out & ED IT with everything else. To go back to the moment someONE tried to take the best thing away. NYC, found many times over & over in ways that “saved me.” Literally, I saw & felt a place be alive & it’s connected to everyone who has walked through the terminal doors. The arriving gates at the international airport is the happiest place on Earth. This is the origin written on a piece of paper that is an Initial Evaluation during PT that taught me: ✔️ Medical records will be interpreted in ways that benefit the “business” & if desire to truly get people well existed, they’d be WAY MORE OPEN to patient feedback ✔️ Therapists have lives & the way they deal with they stress & hold conversations that ACTUALLY answer questions or SEEK OUT ANSWERS reveals “your problem is their problem” since there is an established relationship. Help me feel better & tell me HOW you know it would work & show openness to admit, “I’m causing harm.” ✔️When you have to explain why trust is important to a therapist & ask her “why would you lie about this?” and they change the topic, other people trying to get help are the individuals motivating me to create the NEXT thing. How to help now? DBT & CBT. This is the final curriculum. My unique profile: just gonna take ‘em down one-by-one since you do LEARN ever my day Medical (mental health care with chronic pain & vestibular), Education, Social/Personal & then the whole point of this? I do people are still going to make babies no natter happens in the world.
