Body Care Basics
Most of the time we exist as ghosts tied pretty well down to the fluctuating tensional and neurochemical balances of our bodies, which are mostly on autopilot. . .… Read More Body Care Basics
Organic Transhumanism?
What kind of musculoskeletal evolutions lie in wait in the set of our potential futures? Could humans learning bodily pressure regulation and spiral kinesiology allow unforeseen possibilities in the future freedom of actions for humans? (What if we focused on creating environments and lessons supporting the development of the whole being?) This is organic transhumanism. … Read More Organic Transhumanism?
Foundational Freedom
Freedom is an interesting concept. To me, one foundational freedom is the freedom to move our bodies. This includes movements that occur within our own bodies, like heart beating, breathing, and intestinal movements. More obvious ones may be: Do you have the freedom to reach overhead? Touch the floor? Step over fallen tree? Run away… Read More Foundational Freedom
Phases of Relaxation
Broadly speaking, there are two phases of relaxation. The first involves relaxing whole-body tensions. This is where the body transforms from readiness-for-movement to beginning-relaxation. The body begins to separate into functional units, but postural changes cannot occur yet. This first phase is the goal in a Massage with me.

Recent AEOD Results 2/21/2023
So far I have done the one leg dance each the past three days. 1/19 was supposed to be one leg balance and that was most of what happened anyways, due to the difficulty of standing on one leg for 2-3 minutes. I played one song and danced on one leg for the duration of… Read More Recent AEOD Results 2/21/2023

I realized it might be more helpful and clear to do these AEOD’s a week at a time so we can look at longer-term transits adjusting to the lunar mood that shifts every few days.
