I like to refer to it as "knowing where your body is in space."<BR/><BR/>over the years I have found that people are increasingly cut off from their bodies, especially young people (I teach to college students, age range 18-23.)<BR/><BR/>my own theory for their lack of awareness about their bodies is the huge difference in physical education from when I was a kid (over 40 years ago) compared to now.<BR/><BR/>in my area, many schools do not have PE, so kids grow up without running, without skipping (a middle school teacher told me once that she has kids that literally do not know how to skip!), without falling down, without jumping rope, without climbing a jungle gym (school districts fear of lawsuits!), etc. etc. etc. in other words, they do not know how to use their bodies.<BR/><BR/>nothing is learned by trial and error. seems like as soon as a girl can walk, she's put in a ballet class, or a boy is put on a soccer team....everything is SO STRUCTURED instead of cultivating movement that is freeing.<BR/><BR/>just my 2 cents!Linda-Samahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664989345039365084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555295.post-12225701571700200422008-01-21T09:23:00.000-06:002008-01-21T09:23:00.000-06:00Proprioception is my favorite word. Proprioception...Proprioception is my favorite word. Proprioception explains a lot of what we do and why. Proprioception helps to develop our sense of being. It is a long neglected sense. It is how we develop an inner sense of movement intelligence. Proprioception also explains the reason why we lose movement intelligence as we age. It also explains a lot of the workings of reflexology. <BR/><BR/>Great post and appreciate the NY Times article.<BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/>Kevin Kunz<BR/><BR/>Complete Reflexology For Life<BR/><BR/>Reflexology: Health at Your Fingertips<BR/>Over 400,000 sold- 18 languages<BR/>Interactive Foot Chart- http://www.dk.com/reflexology<BR/>http://www.reflexology-research.comKevin Kunzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507881298322771191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555295.post-75288470568167870982008-01-18T18:17:00.000-06:002008-01-18T18:17:00.000-06:00I'm fascinated by how my students think they are a...I'm fascinated by how my students think they are aligned and when I align them, they feel crooked. Kinesthetic, proprioceptive and interceptor feedback is constantly shifting and readjusting. Just wanted to share some info from one of my favorite books, Embryogenesis by Richard Grossinger: "Each realm of tissues develop its own proprioception and at the same time contributes to the collective proprioception of the organism. We are an event that sustains a particular lifestyle. We are a complex biological process that has many realms of living and experiencing."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555295.post-25033572636588544882008-01-17T14:03:00.000-06:002008-01-17T14:03:00.000-06:00Great post!

I think I've always done this subconciously, but since I began studying martial arts a year ago I've used lessons and techniques more intentionally. <BR/><BR/>cheers,<BR/>jenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06006880836353180076noreply@blogger.com
