☀️Dance Therapy Routine for the morning; sustainable and creative wellness

We can easily get stuck in a “right or wrong way” mentality around a movement or exercise practice. It’s easy for the mind to fall into the trap of identification to justify value. That is to say, sticking to only “correct” yoga poses as the only way to sustain a healthy movement/fitness practice, only weightlifting with the goal of increasing weights, or whatever system we reach for outside of ourselves to feel validated in our practice. What if we let this intention go completely? What if you had a routine, a “dance” of select stretches, strength-based and explorative movements that allowed you to rest in your body in such a way that felt good, natural and unique to you?

I want to point out that there are some incorrect ways of moving in the sense that they are known to cause injury and should be noted. But our bodies are smarter than most of us believe. If it hurts, it’s probably bad for it. It feels good, it’s probably good for you. Pretty easy rules to follow. If bones are gliding with ease, muscles are maintaining a light “burn” or sustained tension that goes away when you rest, then however you decide to move your body is acceptable.

I want to invite you to explore your body in a feeling/sensation-based way. Noticing and not analyzing. Give the brain rest and explore stretch and contractions, tension and release. Accessing all five senses.
Do familiar movements and use your weights. Do yoga poses and dance. Be still, lay on the ground, role around. Use your voice, your eyes, your ears. Explore and find new ways your body can move without seeking instruction from someone outside of yourself and allow yourself to be a professional of your own body. Because you know your body better than anyone else.

Dance within your body – not to look cool, not like the music videos. Dance with the original, primal intention of dance, which is to move with a sense of joy.

With love, joy and curiosity,

Challenge and Managing Stress 💗

🌙🌙🌙🌙

Challenges (AKA, stress) can be food for change.

Hard times offer tremendous opportunity to grow. Sometimes we may just want it to all stop so we can rest. When we are not able to rest from an 80 hour work week (my current lifestyle) or that project that never seems to be done or whatever the challenge is, there’s a chance to rest in the present moment while still attending to our responsibilities. Usually when we feel overwhelmed during a transition of our life, it’s because we aren’t actually focusing on what’s in front of us. We are projecting to our next task, or to that trip we have to pack for tomorrow. We are partially in the present moment, tending to a task, and partially in the future, thinking about that paper we have to write or that goal of writing a blog at the end of the day.
Simply being aware that you are doing this is a huge benefit. Because we can say to ourselves, hey, it’s doing me no good to think about this thing I won’t be attending to until tomorrow, so let me take a moment to breathe, check in with my body, then the space I’m in, and the people I’m around. Just noticing what’s around you and getting back in the mode you need to be in.

It might seem like a simple thing we can do, but most of us get trapped in emotional cycles of stress and negativity because we are not staying present and focusing on what actually exists – the now.

Breathe, take a moment to embody the present by noticing your body and the space around you, and have compassion for your unique process and current life situation.

And celebrate. Celebrate you’re being challenged – this is the food for the positive change you want.

With love, joy, and curiosity,

What is Breathwork? 🌬

🌟 “While various breathing practices have been around for centuries, science is just beginning to provide evidence that the benefits of this ancient practice are real. Studies have found that breathing practices can help reduce symptoms associated with anxiety, insomnia, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and attention deficit disorder.” (2020, Zandra Palma, MD)

🌟 Breathwork is a powerful healing tool that can be used to ease chronic unease - physically emotionally, and spiritually. It is an active breath technique that can be enhanced by the presence of a facilitator. Venus Dancing uses the breathing technique taught by which is a belly-chest-exhale cycle.

🦴 Physiology: Alkalizing blood pH ~
The belly-chest-exhale rhythmic pattern sends CO2 out of your body, which decreases the levels of CO2 in your blood. CO2 is acidic, so this level change of CO2 in the blood causes the blood to be more alkaline. This is called respiratory alkalosis. Calcium ions bind to albumin, which increases muscle tone by firing up the motor and sensory neurons. Neurons in the Autonomic Nervous System also fire up, releasing epinephrine; the result is an anti-inflammatory response. (2014, Yale University)

🌟 Breathwork is also a powerful way in which you can quiet the mind and gain access to your intuition. Insights and wisdom are easily accessible, inner child healing can occur, and so much more.
