How often have you told yourself you've got to learn to live with that chronic pain in your neck, or back, or found yourself complaining about growing "old" as if aches and pains, reduced flexibility and limited mobility are a normal part of aging and to be expected, even anticipated, or dismissed those nagging aches as the result of too many hours spent at your computer?
What would you say if I told you it needn't be so and that the way to maintaining flexibility and function in the body is through teaching the brain that it has options, that the movement choices we make - whether consciously or un - are not cast in stone but are simply learned responses that can be unlearned and replaced with new possibilities that are freer, easier, even elegant?
Well - you can! You can re-train your brain using gentle movement and in the process find more comfortable ways of moving and being.
In subsequent blogs, I'll guide you through simple movement sequences that you can do on your own to increase your awareness of what you are doing and in the process relieve pain and stress, and find comfort in action. I call these sequences "Lessons". You may do them in order or simply choose one that targets your personal "problem" area. My hope is that you'll give them a try and discover for yourself how less pain can yield more gain.
Happy learning!
I wish you ease,
Julie
