Glad you enjoyed the lesson. I agree with you that ads in the middle of a video like this totally sucks. I've heard this complaint from time to time and each time I try to figure out how to prevent RUclips from doing that to my channel, it is NOT obvious. Most online information I've read on how to do that doesn't match the way the dashboard for my channel actually looks. I'm supposed to click on X, but there is no X to click on... As a viewer, I decided a long time ago to cough up the money for RUclips Premium which removes all ads from all videos you watch. Something like $10/month I think. It's the best solution I know of. 🤷🏻‍♂

Hey Ryan, I'm so glad to hear this helped you! I think you might also really enjoy the free training which is found in the caption of the video. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!

Hi Kacper, I'm so glad to hear this has had such a positive impact for you! Here are two more related videos that I would recommend: ruclips.net/video/ZZwSwWxHLYg/видео.htmlsi=T2m5c9yVqZeducV6 & ruclips.net/video/V0N2VhpCgWE/видео.htmlsi=QJCTgkiJPPlb_hTO I also recommend you get the free training which is linked in the caption of the video. Thanks for being here. 🙃

@@movewithseth Thank you for the links! I will for sure do them. I will check the free training thanks!

Very glad to hear that!

Fantastic!

I'm not an expert on mouth taping. I only experimented with it a little bit. I think the tape being wet is probably normal, but again, not an expert.

@@theperspectivatv You’re very welcome!

It's in the title of the video! It's for relaxing your jaw . . . beyond that, any Feldenkrais process is for lessening the unnecessary effort you are making anywhere in your body. The jaw happens to be a place where many people use to much effort. As you eliminate unnecessary efforts, you will increase your sensitivity and body awareness, leading to more efficiency in physical movement and clarity of mind.

@@movewithseth I’m reading some of your substack stuff also Seth. Your depth of being feels like home to me. So so grateful!

@@elainehewitt6813 Great to hear that!

Working with spatial awareness might be very helpful for you! Also, if you're willing to take the time for this gentle process with the eyes, you might get a lot of benefit: ruclips.net/video/ZNnFSU0k22E/видео.htmlsi=2kFvSfecrIqJZTiZ

@@theperspectivatv Thanks for being here, Veronica!

@@movewithsethThank you for your classes Seth!! 🙏🏻

Thanks for your comment, Elaine. In my experience, we get to wholeness through a combination of presence and kindness - that is, by turning TOWARDS our experience (good or bad) to experience what it truly is AND simultaneously knowing how to take care of ourselves as we do so (especially knowing "how much" I can face at any given moment and giving myself all the time I need to move at the pace that works best for me).

This series should be very helpful for fibromyalgia so long as you are really listening to what YOU need in each moment (that is, what your body tells you is WAY more important than any of the instructions in the recording . . . you can always do much LESS than the amount of movement suggested by the pacing of the video - including pausing the video if you want more time or not completing the whole class if you feel complete).

@@ImpulsoCreativo9322 if any of the movements is painful, don’t continue. If you like, you can practice in your imagination.

@@theperspectivatv Awesome! Thanks for checking this out Veronica!

You’re very welcome, Madeleine!

Thanks so much for tuning in, Kim!

Thanks for the comment. I'll take a look.

Hi Rita, thanks for your comment. Glad you are enjoying the videos. Indeed, it would be good if more people knew about Feldenkrais. You might enjoy this free training: mailchi.mp/38989dc1a62b/5-foundations-of-presence

Sounds like your preconceived ideas about what my video should be about made it impossible for you to engage with what it actually was about.

@@movewithseth Actually I have been in the holistic field for decades and I watch many videos. I never have preconceived ideas at all. Your video just isn’t any good for me and didn’t engage me at all. Sounds as if you can’t handle anything different from what you want everyone to think and believe. Sorry you are so overly sensitive and really kind of ridiculous. I didn’t like your video. Period. I’m entitled. Get some maturity

I was looking for the impact in emotions too

😏

You're welcome you're welcome you're welcome! 🙃

Which part?

@@movewithseth the part at the end about the sequence.

@@elainehewitt6813 This video might be easier for you to follow: ruclips.net/video/ZlaFpRRCzUQ/видео.htmlsi=pjAWI_adCALkfDHw

Absolutely! You can combine this idea with almost any activity. Becoming more skillful with spatial attention will lead to more options in terms of the coordination of your joints, your clarity of proprioception and the distribution of muscular effort throughout your body. I definitely recommend experimenting with this in many different contexts!

Hi Elaine, so glad this was helpful to you. I've extended this idea to four more categories besides breath and I have a free training where you can learn a beautiful practice that you can use anytime and anywhere to cultivate more presence and ease. Check it out here if you are curious: mailchi.mp/38989dc1a62b/5-foundations-of-presence

Yay for glimmers! Thanks for tuning in, Kate - one day perhaps I'll meet you . . . This was about 8 hours before I had a conversation with Jake!

thanks for that lens. I really appreciate that framing.

Keep thinking of all the things you said that I wanted to follow up on and failed to do so! Next time, I'd love to start with your work as a mediator. Just read the book, Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss, who was an FBI hostage negotiator and I bet you have a perspective that would interact with that in very cool ways...

@@movewithseth I love Chris Voss. I did his Master Class a few years back. There is also a good book called the Art of Negotiation

@@trottingsparrow Wow! I’d definitely like to talk more about Chris Voss…some of the “pay dirt”for so much of what we talked about is “but does this help humans relate to each other better?!” So, maybe that’s a starting point next time.

Yeah, do it!!

Did you watch the video? I am not saying that emotions are in the ankles, nor that Feldenkrais said that. This video is a guided process, using movement and attention for improving ankle mobility. What is explained in the video is that our emotions are a key factor in any learning process. The Feldenkrais Method includes the encouragement for the student to notice emotions while learning - for example, experiences of frustration or confusion when we are not finding what we are looking for just yet. I could have demonstrated this idea using movement in any part of the body.

Hi Jules. Honestly, I'm really impressed that you watched the video without following along the first time. Given everything you describe about your situation, that sounds very intelligent. Likewise, I'm very glad that you've found a Feldenkrais practitioner in your area. Individual guidance can be very helpful if you feel that slowing down is difficult for you. If you would like to actually try what I show in this video, here's a couple of ideas that could help you: 1) You can rest as often as you want. There is no reason to follow the pacing of when I say "rest" in the video or to do the same number of movements. Any time you feel discomfort that is strong enough to interrupt your awareness, resting is better than moving. The rests can help you refresh your attention and keep your nervous system in the feeling of safety - which is absolutely essential for learning and transformation to take place. 2) When you DO move, you can make the movements as small and/or slow if you want. Even if you are moving so small that a person looking at you would think you weren't moving at all - if your attention is online, you can get massive benefits from this kind of practice. Good luck and I'd love to hear a report if you follow this thread any further!

@@movewithseth thanks so much for your kind and thoughtful response as well as the suggestions! I will keep that in mind. You’re so right though… everything out there has to be a workout because of diet culture. I even got a corrective exercise certification and was disgusted to learn they recommend to keep corrective exercise as challenging as possible at all times. It’s an approach for folks healing from pain, and emotions and trauma are usually part of that too. I also have ED history and a past with compulsive exercise so my body is still holding onto that, despite that I’m sick now and overdoing it looks a lot different these days with fibromyalgia. That’s all I want for my nervous system… gentle movement and rest when needed. This makes so much sense why lying down has regulated me all my life. There’s no shame in it. I really resonate with this approach and look forward to learning more about my body and its needs in an accessible, anti ableist and trauma informed way :)

@@imjustjules Absolutely - this whole approach is about waaaaaay more than just “improving movement”. It’s about fundamentally rewriting the script of your relationship to yourself and your world.

Thanks Hans! Glad you enjoyed this. Many more on this channel - look for the "Biological Fitness" playlist.

I understand. Apart from the specifics of working with the ankle, this video is about understanding that your learning process is bound to involve the emotions. If you know that visualization is difficult for you, then it could be helpful to examine if any frustration comes up when this approach is offered and offer yourself compassion for that feeling. And, of course, how might you design a different approach? One thing that might be helpful to you would be finding a Feldenkrais practitioner near you who can use their hands to provide tactile feedback for this kind of a process.

Do you have padding under your knees? That might be helpful. Meanwhile, if you are meditating for a full hour, it’s easily possible that you have done exactly what is described in this video: rolling backwards on your pelvis. So, as I suggest here: rolling forward and back to teach yourself where that “highest point” for sitting is. You may well need to do this several times during a one-hour sit. Otherwise, you’ll need to do other things to train yourself to use the musculature all along the length of your spine more evenly. I suggest you check out my “Biological Fitness” classes on this channel. Also look for my “top secret” posture video about the soft palate. During meditation you can also imagine a line of energy moving continuously up the length of your spine and out of the crown of your head.

@@movewithsethThanks for the response. I'm going to a 10 day Vipasanna silent retreat soon. I've been experimenting between kneeling and sitting, I've gone back to the traditional sitting legs crossed posture now but due to a mild physical disability I'm not able to fully rest both my knees flat so, I use a pillow underneath to prop them up. Furthermore, I still get the back issues as the base of the spine, I guess like you said, it's about fine tweaking and experimenting.

@@RobinDivine777 there is nothing wrong with changing positions from time to time. A lot of meditation approaches, teach sitting through pain, and while there might be some value in developing that capacity, there is a point where I think it just becomes counterproductive. There is a video on my channel about crosslegged sitting meditation, which you might also find useful.

So glad you enjoyed it!

This is great, Lisa! And yes, the key factor in this process is NOT the movement…what creates the changes you feel is the shift in your use of ATTENTION!

You’re very welcome!

Thanks for listening, Irene - I spoke about you in this conversation without mentioning your name. Did you catch it?!

@@movewithseth Yess ! 🤗 I tried to recall the example..I guess I was playing out the clumsy effects of ideas projected in our dances, when we are led by a deaf brain into embodiment, out of presence

@@BeingMotionIS Yes, exactly!

I don't see why not!
