In Search of (Art/Advocacy Cuisine and Travels)

 As I travel through the multiple Processes in Bones for Life, an off shoot of Feldenkrais, created and branded by Ruthy Alon, I search for ways to continue her mission of making this movement program accessible in both its format and in training to be available to a wider audience.  I will use this blog to edit and rewrite a way to bring it to a wider audience.  https://www.wevideo.com/view/3858259438 This is the rough draft for the first process, to be accompanied by a  carc.Process #1. Terms we Hear and Reframing. Outliee A. Process #1:  B. Did you know that bones are considered organs because of the variety in cells: nerves, veins and arteries, muscles, bone and cartilage. The structure of the bone can be compared to a tree trunk with its rings. This included YouTube presentation is a detailed series of lectures on the subject.  Also, Basic Components of Long Bones (Definition of Long Bone, Osteocyte, found in lacunae or tiny cavities maintain bone stru...

 How would you characterize your values, your beliefs Do you ave family stories events that illustrate these? Family sayings? Make a list of what comes to mind.  Do you want to include this aspect in your Legacy Writing? Five minutes: values or beliefs: if you can’t say anything nice. Hard work. Education above all else. Self reliance, you can fix anything, if you can fix it don’t hire someone else to do it. If it isn’t broken don’t fix it. Make it last. Use up everything. Don’t waste. If you lend something to someone don’t expect it back. Don’t waste. If you can make it yourself don’t buy it made. Waste not want not. You can grow anything you need. Work hard. Don’t borrow from others because you might not be able to pay them back. Keep it to yourself. If something comes up in the family, drop everything, except school or work. If you can, do it. If someone in the family needs help, drop everything to help them. Don’t be mean. Don’t be sarcastic. Say what you mean. Don’t say t...

 Warm up What strategies are working so far in your writing? Any techniques that are working for you. 5 minutes to think about it. What has worked for me was the last writing prompt, and everyone’s concerne\ns about their writing. I shared a piece about my father and then talked with my sister about my mother and t hat opened a floodgate of meories for her, and I thought, this conversation is really good, how can I can continue it, giving her permission to talk and also saying I wouldn’t write her thoughts or ideas in any history I wrote, especially without her permission maybe except to say, she was there for my parents t. Still it does feel like an intrusion onto her space and I remembered the idea of giving the relatives a changce to expression express their epersonal histories, without being intrusive. I didn’t realize how much that intrusiveness impacted my writing but now I think I should write an historical fiction piece, like about what couldn’’ve been. Then I encountered a...

 Question: What are your concerns about honesty / privacy in legacy in writing. 1. My concern is that the tone of the writing may be too self indulgent, like about me and my reaction to a situation instead about the situation itself.  2. That the tone may change the story itself from being an "honest" one in the sense that it conveys more about the situation than about me, how to take myself out of the story, so it is more of a gift to others in the family. 3. That the emotional tone may be off putting, ie, like "who does she think she is" type of moment. 4. On the other hand, I want to include bits of information that may be of interest to anyone. For instance the history of the Iron Mines in Northern Minnesota in 1919 and 1929 and 1939, how to make that more informative about the human condition and survival, and how people guard their hearts and can still give from their hearts to others: family, community, the society as a whole. More of a message of hope withou...

 From Cynthia: Can you share any movement/somatic/rehab background you have? I want to be able to make your model as best I can when answering your questions. If you do not have any that is fine too and helpful to know. Dear Cynthia: Thank you for taking my questions. I don’t know if this will help answer your question so you can answer my questions. I am very interested in this work, and so pleased you have this course work to help others. A. For myself: I have worked with different people for pain reduction, acupuncture, somatic work (fold and hold), tai chi to develop more fluidity in movement (worked with Daisy Lee who does Women’s Lotus workshops), massage, Reiki, etc. Everything works for a while. Currently I have suffered some falls and worked with a Physical Therapist to regain functional movement, but in the process found some more chronic issues with my gait that seem to stop my progress and perhaps (BFL) may be causing falls, etc. B. For others, (and myself), I worked wi...
