For the first 15 minutes this recording assists you to bring your attention to your thinking & bringing your thoughts to the present moment.
The second part of the recording is a body centered (Soma) mindfulness.
Both parts are done in sitting, the total lasts around 30 minutes, but you can split it up if you want to practice one half or the other.
This was written with a particular client in mind, who experiences severe pain.
Remember as with all processes, check with you physician if you have a health condition that you worry could be impacted by mind or body mindfulness.

Relaxation is always good for a healthy brain, nervous system and health. Having a simple quick and easy way to relax is important. If you are a beginner, someone who hasn't learned the art of slowing down then take it at your own pace. If you are experienced but out of practice you will soon rediscover how to move into the relaxation zone

Lying Exploring Eyes
Hi, today I'm visiting a client who is 83 and she is too frightened to get out of bed, stand and walk.
When I go to see her I will be starting with some gentle work to not only find out where she is happy to move, but also to boost her confidence.
She has a history of starting to go off her feet before a fall some 4 months ago and vision is very important.
This kind of process is something you can explore with and imagine what it would be like to be confined to a bed all day. Notice what you can see if you move your head and if you dont.
Have fun and do come join me and everybody else at my Feldenkrais Facebook page

This series of free downloads intruduces listeners to self management processes which can help to put them in control of their symptoms. These processes involve them in making to habits of thinking, perceiving and movement. This body mind approach is supported by evidence available from research into the neuroscience behind chronic pain.
