CATalist Academy - School of Mindfulness & Spinefulness 正念与正脊教育中心

十年前的集结号角吹响，证明CAT 在大马已经超过十年了，时光飞逝很快，但 CAT 导师的人数增加却异常缓慢。

过去十年里，CATalist Academy 教育中心曾办过一共5届 CAT 师资培训班，一届 retreat 工坊，师培班每班约廿人，多年下来，少说也有整百人参加过 CAT 的师培班。

可惜放眼今天，在大马对大众教导 CAT 技术的导师，屈指可数，不超过五人，非常稀珍。

那是因为 CAT 技术易学难精，背后蕴藏着一套极深的原理与功夫，缺乏持之以恒，日积月累的锻练，身感体受的心得，很容易便会半途放弃，更枉论成为一名导师。

CATalist Academy - School of Mindfulness & Spinefulness 正念与正脊教育中心 这个九月中期将办有 CATalist Teacher Training Course, 课纲内有大量 CAT 技术教导教学培训, 有兴趣者，欢迎查询。

成为一名 CATalist，让CAT精湛技术 伴随您身边一生一世，不离不弃。

One aspect of my research is on Quality of Life. The more I study, the more I realize that the meaning of Quality of Life means different things to different people.

My findings, ultimately the quality of your life depends upon your relationship to the present moment. Our practice makes our life so meaningful.

这几年，我接了不少恐惧上台做报告而焦虑来求助的大学生，甚至因为这种压力产生了肠胃消化不良、打嗝、失眠和学习专注力不能集中的身心症。

我心疼地问他们在中学也有分组报告呀，那时候是怎么度过的呢？
原来，他们因为不敢上台说话，常常自愿承担更多搜集、整理资料和书写排版的工作，避开了上台面对多人说话的机会。

今年初，我在PJ的老同学，目前是博士后选人Calvin也发现了这个问题，因此，我们特别推出了以下的工作坊。
早鸟优惠价截止到9月1日哦！

***********************

🎯工作坊主题： 别怕麦克风🎙~让你的演讲像聊天一样轻松
⌚️日期： 9月28-29日 共 10小时

🔊说明：
什么，原来上了中学和大学才发现常常须要上台报告而紧张到要si!?
是的，你🫵就是我们要找的人了!

首先请已经能言善辩、上台从不紧张的人士自动绕道，您别来!😆
这是特别为那些对谈话感到焦虑、自认为常常把天聊死、甚至连上台都心惊胆战的人量身打造。

因此，如果你总是在课堂上害怕发言、每次简报前都冒冷汗，或觉得麦克风像是吸血鬼，这就是为你量身订造的课程了。

📋工作坊内容：
1. 理解上台如果不紧张，那么你跟咸鱼有什么不一样

2. 别再把台下观众当木头了，教你如何找到友善的眼光

Aligning Practice with Life

Strength training isn't primarily about making you look stronger, building visible muscles, or getting in shape. Focusing on these conventional goals reflects a fundamental misunderstanding.

Strength training is fundamentally about enhancing your capacity to be present in the here and now, fully experiencing both pleasant and unpleasant sensations. This is the true aim of the discipline. Missing this essential point means missing everything.

Have the strength to embrace the fullness of who you are right now and to recognize your most essential freedom.

A self praise but definitely not syok sendiri post.

This young boy started 1-on-1 lessons with our CATalist, to improve his swimming performance. After just two lessons, you can see the difference in posture here! But his coach noticed something more, his arm movement and core strength have improved too. 👏👏👏

So, if your kids reach a stagnant point in sports, maybe their spine need some CAT booster.

Do you know that work-related stress can continue to remain in our body after clocking out?
If we do not know how to unwind, it will become unbearable burden and ultimately reflected in our body and speech.

Stress is now acknowledged as one of the leading causes of pain. There are many times we could reach dangerous level of stress without knowing.

A practical and interactive session
Q: how do you know you have stress?
Q: how's the body response to stress?
Q: how to measure stress level in the body?
and many more.....

Let's join our program now to learn and experience how CAT helps to unload the burden that accumulated from your workspace.😍

Preparing Manual for the Coming CATalist Teacher Trainings (8th Edition). This time, we're diving deeper into the whys and hows of pain and the crucial role of each body part in our overall posture and movement.

Now is the time for me to organize every theory into practical experience. Like another thesis but I truly enjoy this aspect of running teacher training.

Our Specialized Therapy session by Michelle Tai is now open for booking.

Specialized Therapy come with small group session of not more than 3 in a group. For such sessions, we will use specialized assistance with touch accompanied by the CAT tools to produce desired alignment of different segment of the body.

Depending on your condition, there will be specially designed exercises that addressed to individual immediate needs. The process is difficult to describe but just to give some sort of idea.

For eg: if you have pain in the knees – we will never deal directly with the affected part i.e. knees before we bring about an improvement in the lower back, hips and sacrum relationship and in breathing.

Time and day : Tuesday 10am-12pm

但凡有练习正念 mindfulness 的人都知道，有时我们正襟危坐，发现没办法觉察当下，也难以观照到身心，或进入所谓的 ”临在”的状态；反而，有时在等待，无聊，发呆, 躺平的空隙间，却很轻易地就认出，并保持正念。
这说明了正念，除了练习，还要掌握 “不练习” ，许多人把正念误解成抽离，无感，逃避，还有机械化，就是缺乏了"不练习”这塊，那是心识很重要的一环，清明，放松，无为，任运等等，都在强调表达这元素。
青少年练习正念，更需要这元素，毕竟，正念的重点在于觉察，观照，不在专注。
专注只是正念的兄弟伙伴而己，不是正念本尊。

At the juncture of "Beh tahan".

My self-work. How do I make change beautiful and necessary instead of staying stuck at the intersection of "beh tahan liau". Most of us want to skip the part that is messy, uncertain and uncomfortable and expect the change result.

CATalist goes deep into that messed up part about us, in order to put life in our lives.

When you see people changed in their posture, they have been through hell and heaven. Definitely stronger than before.

Can you see the actual improvement in neck length and upper back curvature?

Witnessing transformations like this makes CATalist work incredibly meaningful. I see not just physical changes but transformations from the inside out.

We are humbled and inspired by his story. Published with kind consent of our student.

ABNORMAL OR JUST A PART OF LIFE?
These findings show the high prevalence of "abnormalities" in the asymptomatic population found through diagnostic imaging!

In CATalist Mindful Smartphone program, students are encouraged to bring their phones to class.

Instead of using them on autopilot like usual, they are trained to observe the changes in their body and mind that lead to reaching for their phones.

I love the strong message at the start, "You have a choice,". By the 4th week, we see a significant change: their phones sit by their side for the entire lesson, untouched.
