Our brain’s need for our physical antennae

Our brain’s need for our physical antennae

In this video, I talk about becoming more aware of how you use your senses – the physical antennae that monitor the physical world around you. They help regulate the nervous system and they give the brain the right information to attune itself to the here and now.

An important task for our brains, as the incoming information helps the brain create a predictable outcome to face the situations life brings us as efficiently and energy–savingly as possible.

When our brain does this successfully, we experience it as having the energy to do the things that are meaningful to us, and to have a sense of ease, peace, and joy as we move through our daily lives.

Play, play and play

Play, play and play

We find much of our ease and pleasure in play. You only have to look at small children and see how they get fully absorbed in playing, and then how they enjoy themselves. Indeed, playing helps us to be completely in the present moment, and to feel carefree and joyful for a while. When we play, our attention is not so focused on our more intense inner world.

For us adults, it would be healthy if we spent more time in our playful infant mind space, where curiosity, awe and wonder dance together. Play awakens our creativity and inventiveness. It creates space in our minds.

So why not play more? Everything in our daily lives can be ‘play’ by approaching it with a playful attitude. Our brains love it. It is a powerful nutrient for a resilient nervous system. And it gives space and relaxation in the body. Let’s talk about play…

Help your brain come home by using your visual sense, your eyes

Help your brain come home by using your visual sense, your eyes

In this video, I talk about using the visual sense as a way to regulate the nervous system and help the brain map itself into the here-and-now physical- and human environment.

Did you know that our eyes play a big role in our social engagement? In this video, I will tell you about it.

I introduce you to a few minutes of orientation in your physical environment by letting your eyes off the leash of thoughts, images, emotions, and sensations inside. And to invite your mind to be a passenger of the eyes that wander.

How do you connect with your body?

How do you connect with your body?

How are you in connection with your body? If you ask me, one of the awe sensations of living in the body is being connected to the magic of life, spirituality, and Mother Earth.

I want to invite you to think about your relationship with your body.

In our Western society, the body is often approached as if it were something mechanical. In my opinion, Western society is very much focused on the “mind.” When I look at other cultures, I come across many viewpoints that regard the body as an intimate, sensual place to live in or as a temple. That resonates with me. And in many original and indigenous cultures, the body is seen and experienced as a seat of wisdom about life and the human experience. And many believe that it connects us to a greater experience than just our own. That it creates a deep connection to the larger web of life.

A vibrant You starts with a free voice

A vibrant You starts with a free voice

In this video, I talk about the impact of our physical and mental habits and our emotional behavior on our life energy. Energy that wants to move. It expresses itself through our movement and our voice. Ultimately, the way our energy is allowed to flow determines how we connect to ourselves and our environment.

 I offer a free series on YouTube ‘The sound of You’, to help you to feel free in your body and vibrant, energized, and spontaneous in your life.
