We ladies love to carry the essentials (AND MORE) wherever we go! But if you experience regular neck or shoulder pain, take a second look at the purse you're using.

How to protect your Energy Level. Far too often we experience a person talking to us about something negative in their life. When a person does that they take your positive energy and leave you feeling worse than before they came. All of us have a lot to deal with throughout our lives so don't let people take your positive energy. If you've done something wrong to receive this negative energy then apologize always, live in your truth, but if you did nothing wrong imagine a 2-foot thick wall around you not allowing this person to take your positive energy. Stay relaxed think of something positive. No matter what they say you're not going to let it affect you and you're not going to feel sorry for them or reinstate their negative energy, because that's not good for them either. It's not about being stern with them or negative to them at all it's just about understanding yourself and how you feel. If you are physically not feeling well or emotionally sad then your energy level is low already so it's hard to take on somebody that's negative. If your energy level is high and you want to keep it there then make sure that you don't allow this person to affect you, even if you have to say "can you wait a minute I have to go to the restroom" or 'I need to take a shower", be creative start cleaning, do anything to break the cycle.. Protect your positive energy, it helps every person in your life; know when your energy level is low and take care of yourself. Be mindful not to take positive energy from other people. Take a shower, a walk in the woods, be near water or fire - it will always help to increase positive energy. Live Your Truth and understand yourself. Try going one day without one negative word coming out of your mouth and then try it for another day and another day and see how it makes you feel. You will feel such a relief to stop negative dialogue in your head. There will always be times in our lives when we need to talk to somebody about something negative but just make sure that you're being mindful of the other person’s energy level. Take a breath, relax, and stay positive.
Press on your stomach with a flat hand, find your heartbeat, stay there until the area softens.

Be wise!! Do you want to avoid surgeries and get off pain meds? Do you want to dress and feed yourself as you age? "Movement is life, Life is a process. Improve the quality of the process and you improve life itself." ~Moshe Feldenkrais
There was a point in my training when I dropped my jaw and said to myself no one is going to believe the capability of this method. People we worked with got rid of severe pain in one session. This cerebral palsy women walked in with poles in her hands to catch her balance and after four sessions walked out without poles. MS people could navigate their surrounding with little effort. Severe depressed people could change their self image creating powerful change in their lives quickly. An older women after one session could feel movement in her body she had never felt before.
Trust me when I say this method reaches people deeper then ever thought possible. Jaw dropping. Please don't cut nerves in half through a surgery because of pain or stiffness within your body. Come see me first, it is extremely important for long term movement options and living without pain. ok.

Happy Monday Everyone,
In order to turn your nervous system into a learning system you need to pay attention to comfort in everything you do. When walking, standing, sitting, laying down, make sure you're comfortable. The nervous system will always tell you what you need, when your system isn't feeling right it will make you shift until it can learn.. Your shoes need to be laced evenly so the arch of your shoes stays on the arch of your foot without shifting. If your not sleeping good your bed is to soft or to hard. Try different places in the house to sleep: the couch, another bed in your house or someone else's house. Find the right density and then change your own bed. Memory foam beds will give you more and more pain, please don't buy those beds. When walking, if you're in pain walk in the woods on a softer ground. Pay attention when you are shifting around or you have pain signals, make yourself comfortable no matter where you are so your body will start to strengthen the signals to the nervous system giving you more movement and less pain. Very, very important as we age.
Did you know that if you lay on your back on the floor for twenty minutes your whole nervous system stabilizes. Lay blankets or some kind of cushion first if you have pain in your body, also bend your knees and stand your feet if you have back pain it will provide slack in your spine. Sense where the floor touches your body. Start with your heels touching and work your way up your body until you reach your head touching. Do this again when the twenty minutes has passed.
When the body is having trouble moving or is in pain its like a weak signal on a television, very fuzzy. the nervous system becomes weak in its ability to find areas in the body, heal them, and bring back movement properly. When you lay on the floor the nervous system receives feedback from the floor and starts to recover a stronger signal; on a t.v imagine the picture becoming clearer and clearer. Do this every day for twenty minutes and see how much better you feel. Use the necessary cushion on the floor to be comfortable. Comfort is key, it will allow your breathing to relax and flow. When you get up from the floor move slowly, stand for a few minutes on a hard floor, not carpet, until you feel grounded in your feet, then walk around slowly and see how you feel. Do you feel a difference? Try this daily and see if you can feel a difference when you get up and walk around. In this fast paced life it is very important to sustain stability within the nervous system. Some movements can start to recover and pain can fade. Enjoy!!!
Did you know that a relaxed jaw is slightly open? Check in with your jaw throughout the day and relax your jaw. A clinched jaw or closed jaw all day can create fatigue and headaches. Open and close your jaw slowly a few times. Relax and breathe.
