Stop Going Through The Motions - Learn to EXPLORE Your Body⠀
⠀
We all hold they key to moving and feeling better, to creating energy where it is lacking and to reduce pain and discomfort⠀
⠀
It starts and ends with tuning in to your body, taking your movement, but focusing on your body. Where does it go with ease, but where does it hold back? Where do you lack movement? Where do you feel tension or discomfort?⠀
⠀
Do not run from the places your body fears, instead move into them, explore them and add slow, deep, calming breath. Start that reprogramming, send those messages of safety to the nervous system and see how the output changes.⠀
⠀
Its time to stop going through the motions, to stop being too prescriptive, you have permission to explore movement and your body and make it mindful.⠀

Being Your Best? What is your approach?⠀
⠀
When it comes to working out what is your goal? To be your fastest? To be your strongest? To be your best? But are you getting injured, hitting plateaus and just feeling like you are not getting better results even though you are working hard?⠀
⠀
Is it time to slow down to go faster? ⠀
⠀
I will use Crossfit as an example as it is where I practice this mantra or Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast - If we are always focusing on the fastest time in the group, rather than the fastest time for yourself then how does that serve your goal?⠀
⠀
You will get stronger if your form is good, you will get faster if your form is good. If you ignore this, then you will reach a plateau and never pass it. Is your speed compromising your form? And if it is, wouldn't that infer that it is also compromising those gains we just talked about?⠀
⠀
How about wiping that board clean and starting again focusing on form. Focusing on how your body feels, what it is doing and when you feel it compromise to lift more or go quicker? Finding your true limitation with good form? From that point you can load gradual, increase speed gradually all the while listening to your body for good form. ⠀
⠀
Believe me there is nothing like having babies to slow you down, but what is has made me ever more aware of is that going slower, makes you faster, it may take months or even longer but you will keep moving forward and soon you will be bursting through those barriers and reaching your goals! You can be stronger, fitter, faster⠀

Does Modality Matter When It Comes To Body Work?⠀
⠀
What actually matters is that it is a treatment modality that works for you. Whatever stimulus helps you to bring attention to where you are holding tension in your body, allow you to acknowledge it, bring breath to it, move into it and ultimately release the tension within it, works for you.⠀
⠀
I had the absolute privilege of receiving a 'Sound Massage' from the wonderful Abi Adams MMA a couple of weeks ago. I didn't know what to expect.⠀
⠀
Standing with my eyes closed she made her bowl sing and place it at different levels and distances from my body. I could feel every vibration in my body, it made me feel the parts of my body that vibrated differently to others, I felt tension, then I felt it melt away. It brought a greater level of awareness to my body, which allowed me to change hoe it felt.⠀
⠀
It was mind blowing. I just stood for an hour, had some sound played around me and my back pain was gone and I felt lighter and freer.⠀
⠀
So does modality matter? Yes it matters for you the client. ⠀
⠀
Be open, if something isn't working for you, try something new. Its about finding the modality that works for you and your body. Massage, acupuncture, movement, sound, light, breath, the possibilities are endless so do not give up just keep on looking.⠀
