Your Mind – Body Relationship Can Become Your Greatest Ally.
Here is a Transformational 4 Step to live life on the vital side.
1. Become more aware of your body.
Body awareness is not a given. There are many parts, places, areas and relationships within your physical self that may lack awareness, so there is no conscious feedback loop to work from.
2. Become aware of a mind-set related to a posture, or to the way you move.
If you pay a little attention to your body you may notice that adjustments in your posture and physical organisation relate to changes in perception. They relate to the way you may be subconsciously thinking about a situation. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to become aware of how you are viewing something via awareness of your posturing / gesturing???
3. Change the Loop.
Posture is mind set, and mind set is posture. One can reinforce the other, and most certainly does at times. Create change in the patterns by re-organising the relationships within your physical body. The fibers of your body need the opportunity to open and align around a new sense of your self. This is what Body Harmony® does. Make a little adjustment to your way you hold your head while in conversation and see what happens. Or locate your feet more directly underneath you or STAND ON BOTH FEET evenly.
4. Go Along Your Merry Way.
Options, – this is all about creating behavioral options for yourself. Imagine opening the doorway to a new stream of responses, – a liberation from the obligation to respond as you always may have. The door is open, and as many people are experiencing, this kind of change becomes positively reinforcing because it feels so right.
A Most Outstanding Opportunity Is Almost Upon Us
Spring is here and so is the 10th One Month Body Harmony Retreat. It’s held in our seminar room on our 42 acre property in the Noosa hinterland, Alaya Verde. We are just over 15 minutes from Noosa. And once again we are pleased and inspired to have who we consider to be THE greatest manual therapy magician of our time, Dr Don McFarland. Don is not only a remarkable practitioner, – his teaching skills are quite exceptional. Thousands of individuals and practitioners from around the world have been the beneficiaries of new life and bodywork skills as a result of his teaching. And Don – the founder of Body Harmony®- is joined by 3 of the most experienced Body Harmony teachers in the world, Linda Haxby-McFarland, Gina Carruthers and Duncan Hogg.
