About once or twice a week, I listen to a Radiolab episode with my morning coffee. I found this one, on proprioception, particularly interesting.
What is proprioception? Basically it refers to your body’s ability to figure out where it is in space - something crucial for those of us who like to move about! Contributors include Oliver Sacks and Robert Sapolsky (in whose lab my husband is a postdoctoral fellow!).
Beginning July 1, my availability will mutate yet again!
Monday - Thursday from 5pm - 8pm appointment slots; Friday 10am.
Look out for more changes beginning mid-September, including a regular group equipment class…
Old home week. I enjoyed my recent visit to NY so much! It was great to reconnect with friends and clients alike, and I was really proud of the beautiful work that the Kane School students did in the ‘Touch’ workshop.
It never ceases to fascinate me: we innately know so much in our bodies, and also how to read people. We might not remember, but as children we were able to recognize immediately when someone was lying to us. So what has changed in the meantime? And how can we recapture physical honesty?
That’s what much of the workshop dealt with: reading bodies and learning to communicate on non-verbal levels. We asked: What has caused us to surpress our intuitive skills? How can we re-awaken them?
For starters: Find something - an activity, sport, art form, meditation, etc. - that you enjoy doing that grounds you, makes you whole, “fills your cup,” so to speak. Find a way to do this regularly, to make yourself feel balanced as a human. It can help to keep you grounded, compassionate, and truthful with yourself. Being truthful with yourself is no easy task, but it’s one step on the journey to cultivating your intuitive skill set.
