How can I create a daily practice?
One way is to use Movement and Creativity Library. How can I access the Movement and Creativity Library more consistently? How can I do that? I want to do it more. There are often things that I want to do that fall off my to do list. I'm also a Feldenkrais practitioner, so I'm focusing on doing lessons that I may be teaching.
I just want to come back to doing lessons because they're fun.
They are fun for me even when I'm doing them for teaching, but I want to do lessons without that sense of them having another purpose (for teaching)—- To just to be able to do lessons as part of my daily practice. I'm curious about it…
I know from doing training that immersion in lessons, in doing something every day really shifts things in a big way for me.
I'm really curious about how to having a daily practice will support me and others. A practice that is mostly Feldenkrais lessons, but also a range of practice—- I'm interested in creative practice, in the intersection of Organic Intelligence® and Feldenkrais and a whole range of other things that really interest me in Movement & Creativity Library, but I often haven't quite managed to make the time for it.
Maybe I've looked at a series or lessons of lessons that I thought, Hmmm, I’m not quite sure I have enough space to do all of them or I may be put off by the the length of them. So I just thought:
How can I make this easy for me?
To engage with this resource that I really love and that I want to engage with in a more consistent way, but also in ways that may just really springboard my new year in a range of ways that gives me greater capacity for learning, for expanding myself and enjoying the year ahead. That's where the idea came from.
What I'm going to be doing for the month of January is a practice a day from the Movement and Creativity Library and I'm inviting other library members to join me. Sign up for a free 7 day trial here
I thought how can it be the easiest, most enriching, most enjoyable? —- Doing it with other people for sure, hands down ✋🏿
Also how can we support each other? Because many of us might have had these ideas before, but it can be a bit of a challenge to do, to maintain that sort of commitment to ourselves.
I thought having a group would be a way of us supporting each other and making it more fun and enjoyable and a pleasurable journey.
We're going to have a page which is going to be Creating a Daily Practice for the month of January. On the page there will be a section for short lessons and those short lessons will be anything from a couple of minutes up to 40 minutes. And there will be also a section for longer lessons that will be from 40 minutes to over an hour. There will also be a section for talks.
3 sections per week:
1) Short Lessons 2) Long Lessons 3) Talks
Create your practice however you’d like
It may be that your month or your week could be five days instead of seven days… You can create it however you want. The curated lessons are there for a guide — to choose what resonates with you. I really encourage people to dive in and just do a part of the lesson, maybe a beginning, and that could be something that you want to do throughout the week. Okay, I'll do ten minutes of this and maybe go on and do another 20 a bit later on.... Also, there may be a live lesson in the library that you want to do instead of the curated practice…

This new community space is a distraction-free zone (off Facebook!) where you can share practice highlights, reflect on what’s moving you, what you’re creating, your intentions, hopes, wishes, questions, inspiration—- a place to connect in simple ways so that you feel the presence of community alongside creating your daily practice.
