Even though I am a divergent thinker by nature, in my own life I have tended to view success by outward signs that are very different than my value system. Feldenkrais affords me a transformational process through explorative body work. It is making me more open to a new variety of happiness. Feldenkrais has allowed me to feel joy, merely by being me.
Today as I followed the lesson entitled "Gentle Twist" I began to imagine a life where I didn't tell myself,
I need to to do this because if I don't I will be unacceptable in the eyes of others.
I am at the becoming more connected to an organic, healthy self-improvement path. At the same time I am developing the ability to acknowledge and just as insistently let go of those unhealthy external desires.
Concerning the meaning of differential, the author's words used to describe the lesson "gentle twist", three stood out:
- of or pertaining to differences
- distinguishing a difference
- the qualitative difference between 2 or more forces
I am aware of a visceral force when feeling motivated to make changes. Currently I am pursuing a rapidly evolving practice of healthy eating, exercise and journaling with self-discovery at its core. This is in direct contrast to my usual determination to lose weight, doing so successfully and then gaining it all back.
Looking at the gentle twist, it reminds me to work on my art, like my life. Intentionally and joyously, with a heart full of wonder rather than hunger.
Very interesting. It sounds like you are on the right path, doing things that make sense to you and not worrying about what others think.
