  • something more. week four

    The name of my blog changed itself. At some point it transitioned into day. As is read in today’s excerpt – it was always day.

I choose […]

  • a better way. week three

    It was depression that introduced me to the visceral experience of resistance. I did not want to go to work. I played games with myself to get out of the house. At times, it felt as if there was an energetic wall between my body and the door to leave. I’d bribe myself with Starbucks. […]

Once I could grasp an idea conceptually, I […]

    An example of how to use MBK in day could start with the cues: shoulders over hips. look up. Now we have Alignment – mind can download into body for present moment awareness. Now we have energy flow: mind space/heart space/belly space/muscles/skin (nervous system). Next, insert the movement: side to side, top bottom, forward back.

  • stingray.

    I really like this card deck. As mentioned, I originally bought it to have available for students who were living in extreme life circumstances outside of their control. In the time spent with the kids living the situations, there was no ‘skill’ to teach and reinforce – their intelligent nervous systems were protecting them. This presented differently for each of…
