Open Space Yoga with Leonora

“When we meet our suffering with awareness, we go from victim to student”.

Vinny Ferraro.

“Remember that if you really want to motivate yourself, love is more powerful than fear”.
Kristin Neff.

I’d like to share this little excerpt from my teacher, Bruce Fertman’s work about his forthcoming book (Walking well) as it could be of use to anyone that is interested in movement and/or ontology.

I love the way he writes. He’s also a fantastic teacher who has helped and influenced me greatly…

What is the kinesthetic sense and the proprioceptive sense? What do they do for us? What do they have to do with walking? How do you develop those senses? Why do we not learn about them?

I don’t know why we don’t learn about them. It’s weird. Maybe because they are not localized senses. We see with our eyes, hear with our ears, smell with our nose, taste with our mouth and touch with our hands. But the skin, the sense organ for touch covers our entire body. Our entire body is capable of touching and being touched. Why are children not taught that? Hmmm…. Our sense of movement is also what I call global not local, and it is an internal sense. We don’t see where it is. Proprioception is the same way. Global. Internal. Maybe the long words are intimidating. But kinesthesia is just your body sense – it just tells you if you are moving and if so how you are moving. Pretty simple. And proprioception is just the sense of where you are, your shape, your size. It tells you where one part of your body is in relation to another. It’s how you know what is you and what is not you, where your body begins and where it ends. We take our senses for granted, that is until they stop working.
These senses are important just the way all the other senses are important, each in their own way. Some senses allow us to receive information from the world. How wonderful is that! Can you imagine going for a walk without your senses. What would be the point! Other senses allow us to receive information about ourselves. Without proprioception and kinesthesia, walking would be virtually impossible.
Senses can be educated. They can be awakened, reawakened, refined, opened. The more educated they become, the more accurately and appreciatively they can receive the wonder of life around us and within us.
The less we sense, the more robotic we become. The more we sense, the more human we become.
