Ruthy Alon – Movement Intelligence 2 2016 Taipei (English/Chinese) SMALL – Feldenkrais

Description:

Ruthy’s 2016 Movement Intelligence 2 training in Taipei (English/Chinese)This is the second part of a 2-part training. Ruthy was one of Moshe Feldenkrais original students, and this series is part of the culmination of her work to take the same concepts into sitting and standing.This is a smaller SD version of a previously published seriesHer various workshops on movement intelligence 1 and 2 cover a lot of the same ground, but Ruthy being Ruthy provides different perspectives on the concepts in each workshopYou can find out more about the program here:http://movementintelligence.org/Solutions.htmlWhat is Movement Intelligence (MI)?How can we awaken and enhance it?MI is our inner “compass” for navigating optimal movement, a pleasure-driven center that innately knows • How to rest into support — like a Cat • Which way is up — like a Giraffe • How to shift weight — like an Elephant • How to rebound — like a Kangaroo . . . as well as . . . • How to find the “sweet spot” in any activity • How to engage the entire self, with least effort • How to intuit the path of least resistance • When we’ve had enough [Satiety]Most centrally, MI is about the continual adaptability of our physically embodied self to life’s ever-changing circumstances and environment, which involves and challenges our unconscious resourcefulness, and effortlessly invokes our instinct for self-preservation — conserving energy and, when we feel safe, not just surviving, but playfully thriving.Unfortunately, the needle of this compass, rather than becoming increasingly sensitive and fine-tuned over time, can — through the magnetic pulls of habit, imitation, self-protection and non-supportive environments — become distorted in its perception and assessment of “true north” . . . and can lead us astray: into misdirecting ourselves in ways that conflict with natural laws of physics and physiology. Eventually such personal misuse results in the premature deterioration and aging of our bodies — so-called “lifestyle” diseases (like osteoporosis and obesity) — as well as otherwise avoidable everyday minor aches and pains.What to do? Our compass needs to be reset, or recalibrated. Not that we knowingly find a “right” way, and exchange one habit for another . . . But that, to liberate ourselves, we deliberately feed our organism with myriad options from which, completely on its own, our organism can, like an animal in the wild, spontaneously select and enact the optimal moves at any moment, in any circumstance, without any conscious pre-planning, interference or manipulation. Because we too often rely upon idiosyncratic patterns that have crystallized into self-created, self-imposed limitations, we must expand upon these habits so that our organism has a wider palette of options from which to make healthier, more appropriate choices. Our compass is then free to respond more flexibly, without hesitation, to the ever-changing shifts in our here-and-now reality.The broad menu of offerings in the Movement Solutions program addresses our most common human maladaptations by serving up movement recipes that present effective strategies to skillfully repattern the neuro-muscular system. Welcome results of this program include enhanced relaxation, blood flow, range of motion, flexibility, height, symmetry, balance, coordination and fluidity, as well as strength.On a subjective level, Solutions training leads to problem-free, pain-free movement, where, due to evenly distributed effort, you move globally, as an integrated Gestalt, engaging your entire being, rather than as the sum of many disparate, disjoint parts. The upshot of the distilled wisdom offered in the Solutions program is that you become biomechanically optimized — confidently poised and self-possessed as you restore an ageless and healthy curiosity, creativity and zest for life which Ruthy Alon, creator of this comprehensive program, likens to “Biological Optimism.”

More information about Medical:

Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.

Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.

Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and philosophical beliefs of local culture.

For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).

While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice.

The knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
