I see my upper extremities as an symbol of eagle wings, opening and closing as I heal and condition my rhomboids. Tighten and loosen. Soaring and moving me to my potential. I see my feet as many feet of my ancestors before me as I walk across this earth conditioning and self healing, paying attention to my body sensations and dancing through life. I see my ribcage as an golden accordion, expanding and contracting as I condition the core of my body. Through desire, imagination and expectation I create the vision of healing and conditioning for my body.
Through sensation and a desire to walk the path of a Sacred Athlete I am expanding my body literacy via sensation. Sensation are the voices of my body, and X-Ray anatomy is one of my tools for applying my anatomical knowledge, as I observe, witness, and guide my body to healing. Nia has taught me to trust what I feel and to have an ongoing conversation with my body so I can constantly make conscious choices to keep my body in the best condition I have ever been in. The sensations of FAMSS...where do I need flexibility, agility, mobility, strength and stability, is a song that is deep within my cells....a song that has transformed my body from within and energetically made me more feminine. When I first started my Nia practice, I was not attuned to my body underneath. Everything was external, masculine, power driven, including how I moved and transmitted my Nia dance. Sensation brought me inside, brought me close to the bones where I can sense my intrinsic muscles, molding and unfolding the real me. Now I am softer, now I own my feminine... Now I Am.
Nia has made me more aware of the form and structure of my body... my skeleton, my muscular system, connective tissues, digestive system, nervous system... through sensation, movement, exploration, reading and fascination, I am acquiring knowledge and understanding of my body inside me. When I broke my foot, my anatomical knowledge and desire for healing brought me to anatomy books, visualization and awareness, that directed my attention to the part of my foot that needed healing. The Nia foot techniques, steps and stances were my medicine to bring my foot back to healed state. Dancing Through Life...Living Mediation of my feet. Understanding of my digestive system and the role Love Fear and Peace played in my life brought me into a state of remission with my crohn's disease. The process of knowledge is continuous and as a Sacred Athlete I am committed to reach my potential through the discovery of my body...to become more body literate.
I am a Sensation Scientist. I am a symbol of beauty, soft power, grace and love.
