“More force is the definition of less differentiation.”

I remembered Anat Baniel’s words: “More force is the definition of less differentiation.”

Read this person's story where she applies some of the principles I keep emphasizing in class; in this story she applies them to working with horses but the reasoning and effect is the same as when you apply them to your approach in my classes. Go slow, use less force, be subtle, notice differences, don't effort, and then watch the changes happen!

Kids Without Limits is the title of Anat Baniels new book that will be released on March 27th. In her clear direct way she explains how this approach works to give children with special needs amazing results. On the last day of my recent training segment we had the amazing opportunity to hear Anat read the first two chapters of her book. Even our group who are all deeply committed to this method and know the remarkable possibilities, were moved deeply by Anats words. This book will shake the world of special needs children, it is so revolutionary!

Day three of the Children's Mastery is now over. These first few days have been so full of learning and inspiration that I can't imagine how another six days will be. The Anat Baniel method is all about learning so this entire experience is the most sophisticated learning one can imagine. And I'm so excited about this work with children, it offers something they cannot get anywhere else.
I'll be back in Kamloops on Jan 30 and classes start on the 31st. And free individual lessons for children for six more weeks.

Washing my iPhone

If anyone is trying to reach me on my cell phone, it is unavailable. Please call me at 250 - 372 - 8763.
I accidentally put my phone through the wash! After a night of sitting in rice it turned on this morning!

It is working again, but has lots of water damage. I think what saved it was the gentle-cycle.

For those of you that don't understand the rice. It is supposed to absorb water, and save iPhones, if you put it in right away.

Moving with Attention

2011-12-07T09:38:00.000-08:00

This post is a synopsis of the first chapter in Anat Baniel's Book 'Move into Life, The 9 Essentials for Lifelong Vitality'. The title of the chapter is; Movement with Attention - Wake up to Life.

Moving with attention is one of the nine essentials that Anat Baniel says is required to wake yourself to vitality. Moving with attention differs from automatic movement in it essential quality; it is movement done while paying close attention to your feelings, sensations, and thoughts. It requires you to be in the present moment and to be turning your attention inside yourself while doing the movement.

Research now shows that it is this very specific way of attending to your movement creates new connections in your brain. Repetitive automatic movement uses your brain but in a limited way. Movement with attention wakes up more of your brain. Anat uses the analogy of new neural connections being like little lights; automatic movement lights up a very small part of your brain but movement with attention you can imagine a large part or your brain lighting up as new connections all over your brain are being made.

You might ask why do I want to improve my brain or my movement. The two are so connected that when you improve one the other also improves. The quality of your movement is a manifestation of the workings of your brain. And the quality of your brain determines the quality and vitality of your life.

People who attend movement classes or have private sessions report feeling more energy, more flexible in their bodies and mind, their chronic pain slips away, their moods improve, they feel more creative and alive. Overall they feel more vital!
