Working with Your Brain

“We are all just walking each other home.”

Hello Friends,

I wanted to highlight a few reasons why intentionally working with your nervous system is so important. BTW, we are always working with our nervous systems just not with awareness. Learning how to work with your own individual neurology is key in making changes to your movement patterns and overall health.

Neurology plays a crucial role in our overall health and performance. Understanding and working with the nervous system can significantly enhance your physical and mental capacities. Here’s why engaging with neurology is important:

Benefits of working with your brain:

- Strength Development: Enhancing neural connections can lead to improved muscle strength and coordination.

- Pain Reduction: Addressing neurological factors can help decrease pain sensations and improve overall comfort.

- Injury Prevention: A strong neurological foundation (body mapping is one example) supports better movement patterns, reducing the risk of injuries.

- Decreased Tightness and Stiffness: Understanding how your body reacts to inputs can alleviate tightness and promote flexibility.

- Fatigue Management: Neurological strategies ( like breathing techniques) can help in managing energy levels and reducing fatigue.

- Mental Health Improvements: Neurology offers insights into managing anxiety and depression, fostering better emotional health. 

- Enhanced Sleep Quality: Techniques rooted in neurology can promote better sleep and recovery.

- Increased Awareness and Focus: By training the nervous system, you can improve cognitive functions and awareness.

- Improved Balance and Coordination: Balance training (working with your inner ears and visual system) enhances motor control and balance, essential for daily activities and sports.

- Boosted Energy Levels: A well-functioning nervous system contributes to higher overall energy and vitality.

With love,
