Lying down, Sitting down, moving forward and up…
When we decide to stop and give ourselves a different stimulus than the one we are used to, we change habitual reactions, actions and expand our perception
We get to know this new stimulus by directing our attention to what supports us psycho-physically (from outside and inside), sustains us and learn to associate it with a sensory experience. This experience must be repeated and deepened.This stimulus is activated via conscious thinking, activation of support mechanisms and reactions and can be a new basis and preparation for any activity.
We are exploring this new approach to Lying down, standing, walking, standing up and sitting down, hand and arm coordination and free movement. Through this new kind of preparation we will explore the organizational influences that will improve the “hands on” quality.When we become aware of this newly learned stimulus as preparation for activity we change the way we look at ourselves and the world and initiate a “relearning” process.It is possible to integrate this approach into one’s teaching practice and gives clients a relatively quick way to experiment with themselves and to experience and explore the world in a new way.
F.M. said:’it is what you have been doing in preparation that counts when it comes to making movements’
