A few days ago, I had the opportunity to attend a fascinating training on archaic reflexes, sensory development, and primal movements! 🧠✨
For most of us, our perception of the world relies on our five senses: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory, and gustatory as well as deeper internal senses like proprioception and the vestibular system.
These sensory foundations, along with our primary reflexes, guide every movement we make.
Reflexes are automatic, involuntary responses. They determine how we move, balance, and process emotions. When they aren’t fully integrated, they can lead to tension or discomfort.
For example, I found that my "Moro reflex" (survival response to sudden stimulation) remains slightly active, which may connect to overstimulation of the nervous system and contribute to neck tension.
Recognizing this is the first step toward integration.
Then come some specific exercises!
This training gave me a new perspective on movement and bodywork.
I’m curious to keep studying, exploring these insights and eventually practicing this with those of you who are interested!
