WHAT an hour’s online session on Body Kindness, Part 1 led by Judith Seelig.
You are invited to join Judith for an hour’s online session on Body Kindness. Any condition, any starting place, is just perfect. You don’t have to be fit, well and able. But if you are, how lovely, let’s deepen the potential.
Judith writes -
Feeling completely at ease in your body, no matter how it is, relaxes all the trying. That's the silently trying to ignore reality. Trying to be better, stronger, fitter, less tired, more able, better looking, more confident, more rested, and so on.
When that perpetual, silent "not enough stops" most of us experience exhaustion. All that self-made pressure has been gobbling up energy. But with guidance, that can be turned around in just minutes. Whatever it is you would like to change – more of this or less of that – is most efficiently done beginning with here now, this is how it is. This is how I am.
Your body, my body, is amazing. Whatever we throw at it, however much low-noise, constant tension we oblige it to accommodate, it does its best to function. Yes, we may have aches and pains, be suffering injury or disease, or have some kind of physical challenge, nonetheless here we are, able to receive on the in-breath, giving back on the out-breath, able to read this, and to experience what these words uniquely mean to us. Perhaps even how they make us feel.
Being kind to your body means expressing in some way "hello, thanks and sorry for that" and "here I am now".
HOW IT WORKS
You will be guided by me, both visually - if you choose to look - and vocally, to make small movements, and to make those movements rhythmically. That's on the curve of the breath, either the inhalation or exhalation. The rise and fall of my voice – how I speak – is part of the process. I am accompanying your physical form.
I’ve been doing this for years. My experience of this is that bodies are delighted to be met. Just as they are. Sometimes I use sound to communicate. Just sound; no words. I’ll let you know in advance if that is coming.
We begin sitting. This can be on a chair without arms (they get in the way of movement) or on the floor if you prefer. Whatever your choice, you need to be properly upright – using a cushion or two for extra support if needed – and, most importantly, feeling really comfortable. Not pulling yourself up, or holding to what you think you should be doing. Later, I’ll invite you to lie down on your back. Of course, you can if you prefer just listen and watch as I move my body.
For this hour you will need to be in a place that’s restful to you, with access to the internet and to Zoom, and uninterrupted. I’ll be leading you through very gentle processes. You will need an armless chair on which you can comfortably sit upright and space to lie down, preferably on the floor, with the cushions or rolls of fabric to support your body as needed.
Previous participants have reported a very deep relaxation at the end of the session, some falling into sleep. You can of course stay rested in your own lovely space for as long as you like.
TICKETS are £10.
