Main Takeaways
Humans have a unique variety of movement that extends beyond physical motion and encompasses emotions and thoughts as well.
Change is crucial for growth, and the beauty of adaptation lies in the tension that comes with it.
The integration of the mind and body is vital to a proper movement practice, with no purely physical or mental processes.
Discomfort is necessary for progress, but too much can hinder growth.
Movement practice can begin anywhere in the body or mind and should be incorporated into daily life.
Domains of movement practice include posture, integration of postures, and perspective bins such as contraction/relaxation, martial, environment, somatic/internal practice, and object manipulatory.
The nervous system processes information from internal and external stimuli and uses lower motor neurons for reflexive or second-nature movements.
The architecture of the body affects experiences, and the eyes are the entry point for adjusting focus and entering different states.
Certain body types and emotions facilitate certain movements.
Visualization may not be useful unless supported by tangible experience and feedback.
