Help for stress, anxiety and overwhelm
Stress, anxiety and overwhelm are ubiquitous in modern life. As I write this in March 2025 it is easy to feel like the world or at least the US is on fire. Are you someone who feels stressed, anxious and overwhelmed? One of my Feldenkrais® trainers called Awareness through Movement® to be the ultimate mindfulness activity. Though this is arguable, it certainly is an excellent and novel one. Awareness through Movement is a key component of these sessions. Mindfulness and embodiment are well documented antidotes to stress, anxiety and overwhelm
- Your session will definitely begin with a “grounding experience”.
- You will then be taken through gentle movements that work with how your bones support you. Learning to sense the physical support that the ground and your bones provides is an antidote to stress, anxiety and overwhelm. Alternatively, I may choose movements that embody something we discuss.
- As I guide the movement, you are encouraged to pay more attention to how movement feels from the inside, improving overall ability to pay attention and be in the present moment. If you think about it, stress anxiety and overwhelm typically involve future thinking -“what if” or dwelling on something from the past.
It happens that working this way often leads to more efficient and effective posture and movement habits. You may be surprised to have fewer aches and pains.
If you would like to enhance these sessions later or just work independently – ON DEMAND – movement lessons are here.
