Have you considered that perhaps the best thing you can do, for yourself, and for the good you can do in the world, is to calm yourself and find a quiet embodied center from which to act?

If this sounds to you like a description of a meditation program, I am not surprised. That being said, what I offer here is something else.

Back when I was in my Feldenkrais® training one of the trainers called Awareness through Movement® the ultimate mindfulness tool. Of course that was his opinion and at the time I thought it perhaps a bit odd. I no longer do. It is definitely one of many good ones.

In this program you will receive a monthly Awareness through Movement inspired movement lesson that is about 10 minutes long. It will be both written out and recorded. Each lesson is designed as a “physical metaphor” for one of life’s questions or challenges. Here are a few of the planned topics…

• Exploring what touches you.
• Exploring boundaries.
• Exploring what you stand for.
• Exploring your own needs.

From this “embodied” place you will be offered question(s) for contemplation regarding the month’s theme. In January, you will be invited to a private Facebook group so that participants can interact with each other.

I know many of us don’t have a lot of time. I consciously organized this program so you can do the lesson once and spend a few moments with the contemplation and you will benefit. If you can do the lesson a few times over the month and spend more time with the questions, perhaps journaling, you will likely benefit more.

A probable and pleasant “side effect” of the movement lessons will be a sense of greater physical ease and in some cases pain relief.

Cost is $144 for 12 months of content.
