Join me for a webinar to explore the psychological impacts of regular mindful strength training and how this can support a psychodynamic therapeutic approach. Modifications to exercises will be offered to account for different movement capacities. Key aspects of what we will learn through both a theoretical and experiential approach: How the state of our unconscious psyche takes shape in our muscles and fascia. What parts of our body generally need attention in our tech-based world to support an increased sense of psychological resilience and embodied dignity? Simple strength training activities can help us come out of dissociative states, help us navigate the physiology of psychological complexes and help us increase our egoic strength. How mindful core strength and stabilization activities help us return to a sense of our inner authority in our lives. One aspect of my movement practice I never give up is mindful strength training for many reasons. I know how different I feel psychologically when I move in a way that brings more feeling back into areas of my body that need greater balance, given how I live my life. I know my joints and spine need stabilization and mobilization, and my fascial system needs to constantly be supported through strength work to stay in optimal tensional balance. The health of our psyche is also dependent on optimal tensional balance. I see bio-tensegrity on both a myofascial level and in the anatomy of the psyche. Biotensegrity = biological structures such as muscles, bones, fascia, ligaments and tendons, or rigid and elastic cell membranes, are made strong by the unison of tensioned and compressed parts. Optimal bio-tensegrity in our fascial systems, our key organ of communication between our inner and outer worlds, inherently impacts how we process information from inside of us and how we filter outside stimuli and other people. How our fascial system takes shape is a clear expression of our inner psychic states, whether
Don't be a parent who unwittingly lays the foundation and molds your child into becoming susceptible to the cruel art of manipulation in adulthood. What do I mean? It begins when you convey, in both words and actions, that the boundaries your child sets for themselves are inconsequential, unworthy of even the slightest reverence. The sting of your words and the pain of physical punishment can strip away their autonomy, leaving them defenseless and yearning for validation. So does instructing your not to express their needs, minimizing their emotions, dismissing their opinions, invalidating their experiences, and instilling a sense of guilt for wanting things. All of this can shape their susceptibility to accepting meager offerings in their adult relationships. Each blow, each dismissal of your child's desires, each demand for silence in the face of their needs further carves a hollow in their hearts, a void where self-worth should reside. Your insistence on gratitude, twisted into a guilt-laden burden, conveys that their desires are burdensome, and their aspirations selfish. This leaves a child grappling with the sense that their needs are an imposition on others, and they should simply learn to accept whatever morsels of affection or acknowledgment come their way. This kind of childrearing ingrains in children the idea that they should never request anything and convinces them they lack the entitlement to hold high expectations from others. It essentially instills a poverty mindset, perpetuating a belief that they should settle for less and not aspire for more in their interactions and relationships. If you repeatedly teach your child to stifle their voice, to diminish their emotions, and to invalidate their experiences, the lesson imprints deeply upon their psyche. The wounds inflicted by become invisible yet enduring scars, shaping a child's vulnerability to the deceptive allure of breadcrumbs. #SpareTheKids
NPRs topic today was the science of Awe! Apparently most are just starving from the lack of awe in thier daily Life. Self thought is a prefrontal cortex black hole of crop circles your psychology and thus in your chemistry !!! Hahaha Experiencing awe quiets that gnarly circle and boosts the immune system, quiets inflammation, cools your internal heat and activates your vague nerve in a healthy way instead of triggering it to react. THIS is the core of my health care management system that works with no pharmacology. You can manage this way too. #TheFonsecaMethod #ReFitSeattle #StraightTalk
PEEK OXYGEN FLOW The science of exercise and the fine chemical balance of the body is amazing. Oxygen is a major factor for brain function ... if you consider the side effects of heart attack or stroke and oxygen you can start to see how important oxygen flow is to ALL vital function, not just the brain. With torn intercostal, those are the connective tissues between ribs that help you breath, oxygen consumption was greatly impacted and so greatly negatively effecting all other system function especially stamina and overall recovery. My peak heart rate during “sleep” was between 120-152 bpm which is like a full on workout. With historical High demand for oxygen and calories the sudden reduction in oxygen made me so sick for years. It’s why I kept feeling like absolute garbage for years after getting beat up...broken neck collapsed lung torn thoracic cavity/diaphragm. Full on neurological chaos because of pain on top of oxygen deprivation basically. Yesterday’s physical therapy was so brutal but effective in releasing neurological refered pain ... I woke up without being able to move my body I was so sore from finally releasing skin crawling contractions. This week The Fonseca Method helped me increase my Peek Oxygen Flow %30!!!! Which means everything is instantly easier. Sleep, eating, digestion, pain recovery, weight loss ... the list goes on and on when the body is able to recover from the burden of dis-ease. Doctors never really Understanding what’s happening because they basically refuse to listen to me when I try to explain what I’m experiencing, claiming I don’t really understand my body or medicine because I’m not a “doctor”. Well, I don’t need to be a doctor to manifest healing! The Fonseca Method is a combination of physical sciences and psychological experiential methods that address the connection between physical and emotion wellbeing. You don’t have to believe all the concepts for them to work, but it does speed yo
80% of adolescents worldwide are not active enough. The average 12- to 19-year-old American teenager sits for more than 8 h a day. “Children who exercise early in life have better muscle strength levels later in life than inactive children or those who only participate in traditional sports.” #youthdevelopment #youthservices #youthministry #youthsportsperformance
#sundayschool Constant time spent in environments with unnatural noise causes spikes in cortisol and can spiral into constant low grade fight or flight syndromes.
