Pain is not a sensation (like pressure, stretch, or temperature) coming from your body, but the alarm signal your brain sends when it believes you're in danger.
It’s Time To Rethink the Origins of Pain Chronic pain is biochemical, but it’s also psychological, and treatment needs to address how we think and feel about it

Taking time to get bodywork can also be part of healing from urgency culture 😉
For a respectful relationship, it's powerful to ask: "How can I support you now? Would you like to hear what I might do?" And also important to be able to hear "No, I don't need advice."
Our culture tells men to "toughen up" and avoid showing vulnerable feelings or uncertainty. Staying guarded leaves many men suffering from persistent loneliness. Body Literate Men's Group provides guidance and intentional practice for developing the skills of healthy relationships... more info in the comments.
Want to learn how to develop deeper, more authentic, supportive, inspiring friendships? Body Literate Men's group starting next Monday, May 2. Learn more in the comments.

For anyone looking forward to the last planned WeWalkWednesday, I suggest you go ice-skating instead (I think it's too slippery for a casual walk, so I won't be at the lake tomorrow).
We Walk Wednesdays begins this week!

I'm excited to announce the July 21 start of a 6 week Body Literate Men’s Group!
It’s rare to feel truly listened to with compassionate curiosity. In this culture, men especially are expected to toughen up and avoid showing vulnerable feelings or uncertainty, so it takes extra courage to open up around other men. Most people need guidance and intentional practice to develop the skills of healthy relationships.
It’s not your fault if you’re lonely, and there is something you can do about it.
This group is for you if…
*You feel like making friends as an adult is awkward and hard.
*You want more authenticity and closeness in your friendships.
*Some social interactions leave you feeling hollow, lonely, depressed or anxious.
What is Body Literacy?
Body Literacy is understanding how your body affects your wellbeing - knowing how your nervous system affects your thoughts, feelings, perception, communication, how you bond, and what you can do about it.

WHAT IS BODY LITERACY?
What if…
Most mornings, you woke up feeling rested…
You could let go of muscle tension at will…
Your breath felt full and easy…
It took virtually no effort to sit upright and stand with excellent posture…
You knew exactly what to do as soon as you felt a twinge, ache, pain, or malaise…
You enjoyed noticing your body…
Your body felt like a safe, sturdy place - rather than a burden to lug around…
You trusted your body to help you make healthy choices rather than fighting to control it’s gluttony, lethargy, and tension…
... Would you feel differently than you do right now? How would your life change?
Embodiment, experiencing your body as yourself, is part of being a whole and healthy person. Body Literacy is the development of the fundamental skills of embodiment.
Embodiment is a powerful tool in the quest for self-understanding, personal growth, and inner peace, and therefore also for improved interpersonal relationships.
Embodiment is the state of mindfully experiencing life through the outer senses as well as through awareness of our inner sensations. It is the antithesis to detachment, which is a critical component of both hypocrisy and self-destructive behavior.
Embodiment is a tool for the practice of mindfulness, which has been shown to reduce stress, reduce pain, improve focus, and increase happiness.
Embodiment is also helpful, perhaps necessary, when seeking to use the body in a biomechanically efficient manner. Biomechanically efficient movements reduce wear and tear on muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, and joints. This not only slows the degradation of the body that we have come to accept as part of the aging process, but it generally reduces pain and tension. The power and grace of biomechanically efficient movements also feel good.
