Trauma, Polyvagal and links with Feldenkrais (A short introduction) 18:15

21 weeks ago18:15

18:15

A short podcast: In this short recording, I introduce you to the three different modes that your autonomic nervous system can be in at any time: Connected, Action, or Shutdown. It's completely natural to be moving between these modes, Mostly this is taking place at a level of consciousness that you're not aware of for example I give a story here about my response to having an e-bike that came up beside me on the pavement unexpectedly & how I had a shock and how that shock cause me to trigger reactions throughout the whole of my system You can use this knowledge to understand why completing body sensing and movement awareness lessons can help you have a better understanding not just of "why and how" but specifically how to do what you need to do to be able to help yourself stay healthy. The work I teach helps you know what to do, and specifically helps you know how to do it 😊 I hope you enjoy the short episode, and I look forward to bringing you more episodes If you want to contact me, you can email me through the podcast site or visit my website, www.jillwigmore-welsh.com.

Feldenkrais, Ruthy Alon Organic Learning 16:06

22 weeks ago16:06

16:06

Ruthy Alon was one of 6 Feldenkrais Method trainers, who actually worked with and were trained by Moshe Feldenkrais. This made them first generation trainers, who actually attended in the room lessons with Moshe himself. Feldenkrais died on 1 July 1984. and I started my discoveries into his work in 1992, working with one of his First Gen group. I'm proud of my heritage and having the privilege to be a second generation Feldenkrais Trainer. Ruthy Alon defined organic learning in the following way Organic learning is when the organism itself uses its facilities to make an adjustment to invest a functional solution exploring negotiating evaluating to update a conclusion so that the person can replace a habitual and counterproductive response with a more accurate one an improvement in the bodily performance is validated not when it is intentionally calculated and imposed by limitation but only if it derives spontaneity from within the non-conscious organism a rare phenomenon for the mature person but if the adult can regain this child-like capacity to invent success this is a source for a biological optimism as well as an actual improvement in movement and an enhancement of the well-being Carl Ginsberg 1995 Quote from Introduction to Second Edition Mindful Spontaneity by Ruthy Alon…

This is the skeleton lesson of AY 17, which is really quite simple. When the AY lessons were published they included a lot of details that Moshe would have included to assist the people actually doing the lesson in a class on the day. So, if I was working with a group I would add in dozens of small directions to assist each person. However, here are the skeleton steps of the lesson…

Well-Aware, Calm in Chaos, Stress Management, Feldenkrais Awareness 22:02

25 weeks ago22:02

22:02

Can we create calm in chaos? Can we learn techniques, process, practices to help us rise and thrive? Yes, we can The first place to start is within ourselves, feeling, listening to feelings from the body and hearing the messages, the habits and patterns, the changes that happen micro-second to micro-second These days, there's a lot of attention placed on becoming more resilient, to thrive. But, it's not always easy. So what would it be like for you to actually be able to start to detect how you are running your nervous system, detect much more easily and much more quickly when life is getting to you or what we could say is when life is making you feel stressed? This is a simple sitting process, you can explore a little and maybe learn some from increasing your awareness. The first stage of change is to learn what it is we do, to be kind, calm, accepting, soft with ourselves. Take this easy, play and explore, with a smile in your eye Contact me if you have health problems and want to have some help.…

Stress Management or Thriving at Work Using ONE Feldenkrais Principle 31:36

25 weeks ago31:36

31:36

We used to call it stress management, and decades ago I went into Hewlett Packard and trained people in practical ways they could manage their "stress". These days, there's a lot of attention placed on becoming more resilient, to see the work place as a place to thrive. However, the number of people coming to my practice with chronic mental and physical health problems is rising. The reality that everyone wants to discuss their mental health problems at work is a fallacy. Employees still work that indicating they have mental health problems, or chronic physical health problems, will impede their career. This episode is just a reminder that whatever name we call it by, we are all subject to the responses and reactions of our nervous system, which happens before we can detect it At the end I introduce you to one principle that I learned and has had a powerful effect on my health. Maybe you can listen to the end and discover what it is. So what would it be like for you to actually be able to start to detect much more easily and much more quickly when life is getting to you when life is making you feel stressed? Contact me if you have health problems and want to have some help.…

Live show Episode 2: Feldenkrais and Every Day Stress -Jill Wigmore-Welsh 17:11

2 years ago17:11

17:11

This is the second show episode that went out today and I talk Feldenkrais & everyday stress and tensioning: Here is the link to the lesson: Warning sound is a little muffled, recording issues!! Feldenkrais BSMA and Stress Management Lesson Here is the text: Hello this is Jill Wigmore-Welsh here from Reading in Berkshire just introducing you to another installment of this wonderful Legacy Project centering on the Feldenkrais method and the applications in terms of your everyday practice. So I'm really going to be talking today about the brain and central nervous system and the emerging science, neuroscience. So when you're listening into this recording today I don't know who you are I don't know what your background is I don't know what knowledge and experience you have of your body of your brain of science so it can be a challenge to know who I can pitch this talk too However, let's imagine that I am just talking to my next door neighbor or the average person who comes to see me in my clinical practice my treatment room. The room I have in my home, that’s the place where people come to see me because they have problems. Most all of the people who come to see me don't know anything about the structure of their body they don't know anything much about physiology biology bones joints muscles , ligaments . They don't know much about the science behind how their body works. They come to see me when they have a problem and that problem may be a pain, it may be a problem with movement, it may be a problem sleeping, it may be a problem with overthinking, worrying, procrastinating. Whatever it is, it’s something that's happening in their life and they're not happy and they want a solution. Most always during the course of time that I work with people I introduce some of the principles and theories that I've learned from the Feldenkrais method. It has it’s roots in neuroscience. He studied neuroscience, but not MRI scans because they didn’t exist back then. He learned from scientists. As you probably know I've been studying the Feldenkrais method since 1992. I completed my Feldenkrais Method practitioner training back in 1999 and I've completed many advanced trainings since.. So today we're going to be talking about using the Feldenkrais work and it's application to your everyday stress. That's right the everyday stress that you have as you go about your day-to-day activities. A little bit of stress is good for us if you don't have any stressful activities or anything at all a really our system doesn't work particularly well so a little bit of stress is okay episodes of quite a bit of stress is also something that most of us can handle but when you have stress and on going stress that lasts and lasts and lingers and that may be being caused by money relationships your health there are many many reasons that you could have underlying ongoing low grade stress that is just grinding and grinding and grinding away. When we react and respond to things that we find are stressful we automatically go into that fight flight or freeze response and that is well recognized we used to just say fight or flight but now we know that there is freeze as well When you experience ongoing stress you may not notice that your physiology your body is actually responding to that ongoing stress you may not notice it because it becomes so normal for your system to be responding that you just don't realize there's any other way to be One of the most powerful effects of stress is on the way that we contract our muscles in response. We contract our muscles as a form of protection If you're getting ready to fight imagine what you would do you'd be tensing your muscles you possibly be making a fist you'd be bending your arms you be tightening your shoulders you be focused on what it is that you're going to do Imagine that you're driving down the motorway and as you drive down the motorway you've had a stressful day at work and you're driving through the traffic As you drive through the traffic you've got more and more people pushing in front of you pulling in moving over. What you start to notice is that the hazard signs are showing that says the whole of that big motorway freeway I suppose if we were talking about America is going to shut. Lanes are going to close, “ah no!” even more stress begins to start to kick in. You start to think “I'm going to be late I'm going to be delayed I need use the bathroom oh no!” and that stress that tension starts to magnify as it starts to magnify you begin to contract your muscles even more If you've been contracting your muscles without realizing it for a long time there comes a point where you just don't notice. You don't notice that you're gripping the steering wheel you don't notice that your elbows are bent and tight you don't notice that your shoulders are contracted you don't notice that you are holding your breath that you're tensing your legs that you're furrowing your brow that you’re clenching your jaw. You don't notice because it's so habitual for you But what you may notice is that you begin to start to get pain or you begin to start to feel as if you've got discomfort in your belly or your back. It might even be that you begin to start to feel as if you want to shout or scream. It may be that you do find yourself shouting at other drivers in cars or banging the steering wheel because you're getting so annoyed Every day stress that builds up over a period of time is not good for your health. The tension that you can't feel, that you’re not aware of, is going on all the time, and its stopping the blood from flowing through your tissues. As you contract your muscles the blood vessels within the muscles become compressed and squashed making it more difficult for the blood to flow through Our combination of moving so that the muscles alternately contract and relax as you swing and flow your arms helps to keep that blood flow moving smoothly through all of your tissues. Without good oxygenated blood traveling through your system going to every part of your system, cells are going to start to be low on oxygen they're going to become unhealthy One of the best ways that you can help yourself to become very much more aware of your muscle tensioning of your physiology of your biology of your body and the messages that you're feeling in your body is to actually practice some of the work that the Feldenkrais Method. Today I'm going to record a short lesson to help you discover how you can start to break that pattern of tensioning your muscles and how you can change your biology. Come along and do the lesson I look forward to talking to you again next week when I'll be online and I look forward to bringing you more installments of ways in which you can think of using this work to help your health For now from me to you, this is Jill here in Reading in Berkshire have a lovely day and look after yourself…
