I’m in love with this book, ‘Stalking Wild Psoas’.

It deeply resonates.

Movement changes perception.

‘The human organism is not made up of parts or built from cells; it is an intelligent being in a process of unfolding. This profound and invaluable shift not only leads toward a more coherent and functional understanding of ourselves and other, but also helps us redefine our place in the universe.’

Some quotes from the research on gut health and Parkinson’s disease, which I used to create three blog posts.

There’s also a blog post I wrote last year discussing the connection between coffee snd Parkinson’s. ☕️ For more information on this topic check out @yourexhale blog too.

A brilliant article discusses body psychotherapy and PTSD.

It is amazing what can be learnt via watching the breath, and of course other therapeutic modalities.

“The breath can be consciously used to change our emotional state and physiology. Breathwork can be used to work directly with internal yielding. Breathwork is a top-down and bottom-up process, that can be consciously controlled to allow direct access to the autonomic nervous system by promoting activation of the ventral vagal system. Learning to be conscious of the breath will support self-awareness and using the breath to reduce feelings of hyperarousal can give the trauma survivor a sense of safety and empowerment. Emotional states influence breath regulation. Using breathing techniques that specifically balance the breath support emotion regulation and activate the core of the body creating awareness of how the breath increases or decreases arousal to support the client’s window of tolerance. Gaining awareness of the breath can improve adaptability of the nervous system for the trauma survivor as they learn to voluntarily adjust their breathing patterns to shift arousal and track sensations in their body. Trauma survivors are often physically disconnected from their body sensations and learning to track sensations in the body through the use of breath allows the trauma survivor to deepen self-awareness and cultivate self-compassion. Teaching a trauma survivor breathing techniques that support yield develops an important autonomic regulation resource they can use for when they are ready to process their traumatic memories.”

Historically, the symptoms of complex post traumat

Historically, the symptoms of complex post traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) have been difficult to treat. Due to the complex and varied manifestation of C-PTSD, treatment of symptoms is not easily resolved with current pharmacologic and therapeutic modalities and approaches alone. Untreated childhood trauma inhibits the ability to regulate arousal to stimulus that may be perceived as threatening; creating chronic nervous system activation even when actual threats are not present. The experiences of our lives shape our bodies and our patterns of movement. Working with the body’s developmental movement patterns as a somatic resource can provide an entry point into the client’s psyche in a way that cognition alone cannot provide. Using techniques, like breathwork, to learn how to notice body sensations improves self-regulation, developing body-based resources the client can use to yield; improving regulation of the nervous system and promoting the reduction of C-PTSD symptoms.
