 | Imagery - the key body/mind skill
The use of the power of the mind has been known for thousands of years. In this course we experience the benefits of the mind–body connection through imagery, movement and touch. Our imagery will provide the brain with the feedback it needs to create ease of movement, flexibility and strength. Experiential Anatomy The Franklin Method® integrates movement, health and well-being through a careful study of the evolution of the human body. The skeleton moves in concert with the biomechanical rhythm of each bone. Each muscle expands and contracts in synchronized waves. Even the organs support flexibility and alignment. Using biomechanic principles, touch and other awareness techniques we harmonize the underlying systems into a whole, allowing movement and well-being to flow. Reconditioning Movement The body was designed to move and movement is the great elixir of life. Where there is lack of movement life becomes stagnant and stale. Thus the Franklin-Method® uses a rich variety of movement ranging from everyday acitvity, walking, stitting, standing to dynamic stretching, Therabands®, Franklin balls, dance, rhythm and improvisation to stimulate the ongoing dialog of life in a a body.
