EMBODIED LIFE  with Karen Nelson  


First! Dig this: Triangle Attention: My friend Erin Geesaman-Rabke in her on-line course FLOURISH uses a triangle to demonstrate the possibility of choosing to let our attention stay stuck in our heads, or to direct attention also to our bodies. Most of the time our triangles are inverted, where there is more attention in our heads. Does that ring true for you? Simple body awareness practices can bring attention back to the body, to a right side up triangle where we can “think from the belly” and still hear the thoughts that help us in our day-to-day life.

Flip your Triangle right side up when you start to feel flipped out!

Picture
those times when thoughts dominate; not much contact or attention with the ground
Picture
times we can feel grounded and notice the thinking we need in order to thrive.

Embodied Life practices include:

·      Feldenkrais influenced/Embodied Life Awareness thru Movement Lessons:  elements of every day movements are practiced often lying on the floor imbued with your gentle awareness. Familiar movement patterns emerge that make sense to the nervous system and forge new, healthy pathways, that leave you feeling good.

·      Embodied “Speaking-Listening” influenced by “Focusing”

·      Body based zen influenced Meditation

The goal of the course is to develop practices for you to take home and incorporate into daily life. 

Karen Nelson, life-long dancer, body researcher and meditator, graduated from the Embodied Life School Mentorship Program in 2014 and continues her studies in the work introduced by Russell Delman. This is her 2nd Fall of offering Embodied life classes and private sessions on Vashon.
