Zo. Een uurtje bijzondere bewegingsoefeningen gedaan onder de noemer #somatics, gevolgd door zo'n 22 #eGym-oefeningen.

Misschien wordt het toch nog wat met mij. 😎

Thomas Hanna: Lernen, aus dem Brunnen zu trinken (3)

Die grundlegende Zweideutigkeit von Wachstum oder Degeneration reflektiert eine bleibende menschliche Erkenntnis bezüglich der Zweideutigkeit des Alterns: Ein menschliches Leben kann sich in Richtung von Wachstum und zunehmender Kraft entfalten oder ebensogut in Richtung von Verfall und stetiger Depression.

Aus den tiefen Schichten unserer Sprache entsteht die aufreizende Andeutung, dass Altern eher Wachstum als Verfall bedeuten könnte… –

Nach Hannas Beobachtung schätzen viele Menschen ihre persönliche, körperliche Zukunft weniger hoch ein als die Zukunft ihres materiellen Besitzes. Aber, in Abwandlung eines berühmten Zitates:

„Was nützte es den Menschen, wenn er die ganze Welt gewänne und verlöre doch seine eigene Seele – und den Körper?“

Thomas Hanna – Beweglich sein ein Leben lang – Seiten 110/111 – Kösel 2008

The Eight C’s of Internal Family Systems ( #IFS ) are indicators used to understand if we are “in Self” or in a part.

The nature of those eight C’s (calmness, clarity, curiosity, compassion, confidence, courage, creativity, connectedness) is not usually investigated much in #therapy.

This article investigates the source of those eight qualities and categorizes them according to the shamanic wheel of Mind, Body, Heart, Spirit.

Re-Centering Mental Health in Times of Collapse and Multiple Crises

This workshop invites us to explore mental health not as an isolated personal issue, but as something deeply shaped by collective trauma, systemic collapse, and the grief of living in a world marked by violence, genocide, and ecological destruction.

This pictures shows a light-blue frame and the title of the Project “Skills for Crisis” in the corner. It also shows a light-blue frame with information on the Online-WORKSHOP: “Re-Centering Mental Health in Times of Collapse and Multiple Crises” on Thursday, 17th September from 4pm to 7pm CET. In the back of the picture, there is a segment of the illustration that symbolizes the project and is the same in all the following slides. There are colorful clouds and mountains and waves and it gives a dynamic impression, frightening and hopeful at the same time. On the picture is also an illustration that symbolizes the sub-topic within the project which is “Mental Health”. The illustration is hand-drawn and shows a group of four figures in the middle of a storm with different facial expressions, some seem unworried, some seem scared.

The picture shows the hands of two people placing their palms facing up, one on top of the other. This must have been during a check in and connection exercise and was taken during the in-person-version of this workshop in Summer.

This workshop invites us to explore mental health not as an isolated personal issue, but as something deeply shaped by collective trauma, systemic collapse, and the grief of living in a world marked by violence, genocide, and ecological destruction. On the picture there is also an illustration of the sub-topic again, with the four figures now circling around each other and in harmony, in the middle of the storm.

Rather than offering quick fixes or individual coping strategies, we will practice being with discomfort, nurturing collective care, and building emotional resilience that honors the reality of structural harm. All bodies, backgrounds, and levels of experience are welcome.

@dillyd I’ve also recently acknowledged that some of my chronic body pains are coming from what’s happening in my mind. It has been changing over the years, sometimes stomach pain, back pain, and more recently hips and leg pain. And at the end clearly related to some stressful or angry thoughts.

Our body speaks to us.

“You can only give from excess. Otherwise, it’s violence. To yourself.”
Martin Butler’s “Shedding Skins” reframes people-pleasing as an act of survival, not love.

I've been going through it the last couple weeks - insomnia, anxiety, burnout. Wrote a bit about noticing those feelings and why it's important that I prioritize myself in the midst of *the state of things*.

In this new piece on the Aiki Arts Center dojo blog, I answer some interesting questions from students in their first year of aikido training.

The Dolphin Interoception Method is a practice that helps a person become more embodied. I developed it and use it with clients to calm thinking and observe what happens in the body in a safe way. Also a good way to help people ‘unblend’ in the therapy model Internal Family Systems. #ifs #therapy #regulation #polyvagal #traumainformed #somatics

From Appalachia to Palestine, resisting State violence is an act of embodied self-determination. Living through climate disaster, the rise of fascism, and genocide, we need to know how to sprint and how to marathon within our fights for land and liberation.

On Saturday, November 2nd, Firestorm is excited to host author Eliana Rubin for an in-person conversation and workshop based on their recently published book, "Taking the State Out of the Body: A Guide to Embodied Resistance to Zionism." This event will be co-sponsored by Jewish Voice for Peace Asheville, with a suggested donation of $0-25 (no one turned away for lack of funds).
