What are we here for?

(half assed, literally as far a chair goes,
side bend,
wrists behind head so all back (not just neck)
comes along,
pelvis wakes up,
go both ways and one way pelvis can sink way
down,
fun...

you might enjoy this)


What are we here for?

to live
to learn

to heal the Earth
learn the Earth
feed ourselves and the Earth well

care for each other

be happy
help others be happy

be creative
help others be creative

love
help others to love

discover
what's this world
life
learning
awakening

all
about

something
like
that

life is good

life is good
movement is life

good movement
can be of heart
mind
body
and soul

let's have sweet
aware
movement
in this day

more mess, more movement

to move
our arms
and legs
with awareness
and then
add on
the central exploration
from pelvis
and ribs
and brain:

amazing

and to
move the books
and stuff
and furniture
and the cars
and muscles
and people
and boxes:

hmm

that's a bit
"hard"
to do
with awareness

and
is there
any
better game
in
town

this town
called
Life???

Rain, Sun, new Thursday

Oregon summer,
looking a little like California fall

Well
yesterday
it looked like rain
and i bet
it wouldn't

and it did
a
little

so i lost
the wish full thinking
bet

not the first time

anyway,
that put me in gear
literally
this morning
and i rode
out to the garden
and retrieved
some drying fruit
that we'd rescued
from the windfall
that usually just
gets heaved
in the compost

rescued
the drying apples, and pear apples
and peaches
and brought them
home

and almost got them
sorted out
in time
to watch
the beautiful
warm
clear
sun
come on
back out

oh, well

life is good

things shift

soon to go to talk
part education
part slow food

if you want to experience
slow
and learning
and haven't tried
the the Feldenkrais Method®
yet

check out the link
to desk trainer
over on the side

or,
just start moving
really slowly
and imagine
a movement
you have never
done
before

that accentuates,
of complicates,
or expands
the movement you started with

how
do you
do
that?

find
out,
i guess.

Exercise that uses variety, big time

I mainly talk about this sort of thing in the wakeup-feldenkrais.blogspot.com,

but it fits with a central theme
about how we are going to save ourselves
from ecological disaster,
which is usually called: saving the earth.

The theme is this:
do less,
do it in smart
and fun and interesting ways.

These videos are in a gym
but they show
what amazing development
you can have when you think along Feldenkrais lines:
variety,
variation,
less effort and more intelligence.

Watch and see what you think:


U tube lazy crazy sports

U tube guy talkng about it
