Faster-Sleep™ is a programme that integrates CBT-I, Hypnotic Meditations, and Clinical Feldenkrais Lessons called Somnimoves™.
This lesson is an extract of a longer bigger lesson that's a day time practice lesson, to assist with state change, try this part, and if you enjoy it and want to know more send me a message.
Remember this is an exploration and NOT intended as a medical treatment, always check with your physician if you are concerned about doing any new movement

A subtle lesson in aware breathing
Friday Nov 12, 2021
Friday Nov 12, 2021
This lesson has been recorded with a person in mind.
It's a subtle easy slow gentle lesson, with some detail on the anatomy and structure of the thoracic spine. Just a little, but enough to spark interest.
The lesson is not designed to be a medical treatment and if you are worried in any way that moving may be problematic, then speak to your physician before doing the work.
However, you can always do this just in your imagination either in sitting or side lying.
I mention a pillow support system in the lesson. It's the Lejrelet System and here is the link
Here is a link to a youtube about the thoracic spine, some time back uploaded about 2015 I believe.
Here is one of the other lessons on the thoracic spine, but quite an advanced one
Me, and my website

Note: Hyperesthesia is an increase in the sensitivity of any of your senses, such as sight, sound, touch, and smell. It can affect just one or all of the senses. Often, the heightening of an individual sense is referred to by a separate name For example, increased sensitivity of touch is called tactile sensitivity, and increased sensitivity of sound is called auditory sensitivity.
Everyone has hyperesthesia to some extent, so it's a natural response, however some people have problems that cause increased constraint and debility.
There is an interesting article on the topic HERE

Arthroscopic (or keyhole ) surgery is very common for people who have all manner of trouble with their joints. Knee arthroscopy is carried out for many conditions. This can include arthroscopy procedure as a diagnostic measure to clarify the cause of symptoms and also as a form of treatment where surgery can be carried out at the same time. If you are having symptoms such as swelling, locking, giving way or a sense of play or instability from a joint then you may well go in for an arthrospic review. People who have all stages of degenerative joint changes, cruciate ligament issues, cartilage tears & more may have arthroscopy. It is a fairly common procedure and this short series of lessons is designed to help you make a good recovery Succesful rehabilitation after surgery is dependent upon many factors. Some of those factors can be outside your control but there are some imporant processes which you can follow which will definately improve your chance of having the best outcome you can possibly achieve. As with any process directed toward a medical intervention you mustn't take risks. It would be foolish to cause yourself pain or take a risk, so if you are unsure whether you should do these processes, then ask your physician or physical therapist.

Belly Breathing
Tuesday Jun 08, 2010
Tuesday Jun 08, 2010
Breathing is a natural thing. But how many folk give any thought to the way that they breathe ? Discovering how you breathe provides deep insight into the cause of your muscle aches and pain. How you respond to everyday life with physical tensioning is an important message from your body. Overlook the messages, maybe because they are so habitual that you cant feel them and your body will provide you with more and more messages. What we call stress is imbalance in our homeostasis, the balance between our physiology and the environment. This 15 minute lesson introduces belly breathing and draws attention to the way muscle tension changes as you breathe with the base of your lungs and top of your lungs. Jill Wigmore-Welsh
