Awareness Through Movement?

Awareness Through Movement® is a method designed by a  physicist who understood neuroplasticity before there was a word for it. It offers a pathway out of fight or flight, and a way to let go of the habitual patterns of movement that, over time, can rob us of agility and ease. By engaging the sensory motor cortex through the mechanics of the body, it can quiet the muscles we overwork, easing the sense of strain in a world that already demands enough of us.

• Pauses are moments to process sensations within your own sense of stillness.
• Observation is a path to follow; effort is a traffic jam that goes nowhere.
• Discomfort is a teacher; strain and pain are the enemy.
• A lesson is a space where nothing is compared, nothing is judged, and nothing needs to be right. 
• No action is too small, as long as it is done with awareness.
• Imagined sensation is just as real as movement we can see.
• Everyone’s path is different.
• As a teacher, I am only a guide. Your attention to what your own body tells you will lead you farther. 

Lessons are available here.  

There are over a thousand Awareness Through Movement. If I can manage to share 100 of them, my certification will have been put to good use and I will be able to consider my life well spent. I began sharing them with friends because I struggle to keep in touch regularly. I have no social media presence because seeing additional followers is an external source of dopamine over which one has no control. I’ve found that sharing them individually creates a more stable sense of mental health, but some lessons I create simply for myself. If you have happened across this website and decide to download those lessons, you are welcome to share them with people or organizations that matter to you.
