\"\"<\/a>Wow, one moment I am down and out and the next I am in the midst of new adventures\u2026 I was in New York last month to join, support and cheer the new trainees on their way to become 5Rhythms teachers. So, I was back at the Garrison Institute, a former monastery, now an inspiring spiritual centre, beautifully situated on the banks of the Hudson. Being there again brought up sweet memories of my own teacher training some years ago\u2026<\/p>\n

The module of this recent teacher training was about embodiment. Focus on the body; we practised our rhythms, we moved and danced for hours and hours, day after day; bodyparts, bodyparts, bodyparts\u2026 emphasis on feet, where it all starts\u2026 feet first\u2026 feet on earth know\u2026<\/p>\n

All our body wisdom comes from feet\u2026 I began the training with stiff ankles and rusty calfs, rigid feet, strained muscles\u2026 but after some days of feet first, letting the dance start from feet, some miles of walking meditation and barefoot walks outside, I developed new connections with my feet\u2026 the quality of my foot tissue changed, my feet softened and opened\u2026 I experienced more space, more mobility, more sensations, vibrations, more information coming through; I started listening with my feet, breathing through my feet, following my feet, trusting my feet; amazing what my feet did tell me, how lively they became \u2026 I didn\u2019t know my feet had all of that in them\u2026 my feet felt released and reborn\u2026<\/p>\n

At some point during this teacher training Erik Iversen, member of the teaching staff, stated that our feet generally are bored, because of spending so much time in shoes\u2026 and yes\u2026 I must admit\u2026 that was exactly what occurred to me after some days\u2026. sorry dear feet, for neglecting you for such a long time\u2026<\/p>\n

Now that I am attuned to these stunning vivid connections in all 52 bones of my feet,
\ntheir 33 joints, 107 ligaments and 19 muscles and tendons, I am in awe of the complex movements my feet are able to make, so that I can walk, go everywhere, take in information from earth, nourish my whole body with sensitivity and mobility… feet on earth know… feet up in the air know too…<\/p>\n

A next step for me is to orient on buying barefoot shoes… another adventure…<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
