That's visceral. We want to feel alive. And of course, with that aliveness, you feel possibility. And you feel, oh, I can do something. Now, again, I want to, I want to, I feel myself just punching right now, you're not like, not in a violent way, but sort of like, you know, hey, like a little dancing moves.
Ever wondered how simple movements can transform your life? In this episode of Brain Shaman, Michael Waite teams up with Jeffrey Schwinghammer to introduce you to the Feldenkrais Method. This isn’t just any exercise routine; it’s a journey into understanding how your body moves and interacts with the world around you.
Jeffrey leads listeners through a series of mindful movements, encouraging them to notice the subtleties in their bodies—like how their legs feel against the floor or the position of their pelvis. These seemingly small details can have a big impact on your overall well-being. As the lesson progresses, the focus shifts to how these movements influence daily life.
