Musings moving the mind
Some of these essays were written before I accidentally deleted most of the data from my old website in early 2023. And some have been revamped or recently created from my musings and thoughts now. It is my hope that my writings inspire you to feel and be in your body with renewed curiosity and joy.
My first Feldenkrais experience
"Please make yourself comfortable on the table." A moment before G. watched me walk and made some simple dance moves. I have an un-bearable pain in my hips and a heavy tension in my body for what seems like ages. It's been examined so many times, I'm almost desperate....
The power of your self-image
How do you feel? And how do you want to feel? These are the most important questions for me when guiding someone. These questions led me to how a person experiences herself or her body and has created an image of herself. And for many women, that self-image is...
Break your habits through movement
There are so many invisible rules we follow, often without knowing it. Whether it's an instruction your mother gave you in childhood about sitting up straight, or that as a woman you should keep your knees together as an expression of virtue, or that you shouldn't...
What about your inner castle?
Sometimes I read a text whose symbolism completely coincides with what is going on in my inner world at that moment. At such a moment, when the words reflect this back to me, peace and clarity arise in my mind. The text below is such a text. It comes from the...
What is your story?
What is your story? And is it still the story you want to tell yourself? The way you move tells your personal myth and shows you the hidden parts of yourself. It reveals to you the deepest beliefs and feelings that underlie the story you have come to tell yourself...
What if you could have a no-regret relationship with yourself?
Sadness and anger are as much a part of our life as joy. And we have a choice in how we receive and respond to all the challenges life throws at us. Much of it comes down to how we label our emotions, how we perceive ourselves and the world, and how we give meaning to...
Are you kind to yourself?
Today I participated in a pruning course for hundred-year-old olive trees and young olive and fruit trees. We have a lot of old olive trees that were treated in such a way that they are screaming for help. I wanted to know for myself if pruning can be an act of...
A Musing about being connected to the rhythms of life
One of the awe sensations of living in your body is being connected to the rhythms and movement of life. There is no movement without rhythm. All in life is rhythm.. universal rhythm, cosmic rhythm, earth rhythms, the rhythm of you, the rhythms in you, the rhythm of...
Moving out of habits of perfection
Last week during the retreat as we were exploring our senses through our animal body and dancing with its emotions of grief, anger, and pleasure, we came to speak about the habit of perfection, the hurt and wounding underneath, and how it has influenced how many of us...
Pausing your thoughts
Did you know that every thought, every feeling, every sensation comes from the body? So often we immediately attach thoughts and feelings to old stories with our minds instead of listening to what our bodies are telling us now. And in doing so, we have become deaf to...
