breaking down creative experiences and coffee

I am sitting here writing in the client journals, listening to classical music, and of course sipping on some Artigianos coffee.  I am trying to put into words the day yesterday.  I am kind of in shock/ kind of alive.  Yesterday was another day where the creative energy filled the gym and client’s were doing things they have never done before.  It is somewhat overwhelming for me when I come out of the experience and try to break it apart.  The thinking process starts up and tries to explain things and lessen or exagerate what happened.  When in the experience it is easy to be part of it all.  How do we look at what was created to dig up what may or may not have been true without the thinking process coming in and creating all kinds of illusions?  Here are the facts

Jordan after 9 years of no coordinated movement ever.  Stood up yesterday, completely load bearing through his hips and legs.  I provided balance support on his upper back.  He also kneeled and load beared through his hips and legs, once again I provided balance support.  It only took the motivation of an amazingly beautiful (inside and out) female client to open him up to create that movement.  I think I might be out of a job.  

Morgan sat completely vertical with amazing abdominal and back support (able to create holding a neutral pelvis) while I assisted her in pedalling the spin bike.   I have never seem that move before in 9 years of doing this.  She also has control and coordination in a bridge position, her hips and low back and legs were holding her up, I was assisting because the newly functionally coordinated muscles are not strong enough to hold her body weight against gravity.  She also did several prone hamstring curls from the ground.

Greg created an experience for himself by playing with a feeling he was having in his midesction and created something he had not done in over 3 years.  By playing with the moment he is creating deep neurological circuits in his midsection, into organs that are coming online.  He created hand movement and finger movement in all fingers on his left hand for the first time.

Vickie came in from vacation and said she did not even take her chair home with her.  She came in with a power chair the first time I saw her in April.  She could feel how her right hip froze up on her during the time away.  I told her what an opportunity to learn how to always open it up after we co create it now.  So the hip did open and she saw it and felt it.  Talk about a tool for the rest of her life.

I am allowing myself to feel what I have been opening up to and what is becoming.  I am becoming a trainer.  The people who come to me are my teachers.  Thank you

    Good Evening JJ:

    I am so glad to see you writing more, it not only encourages all of us to see the progress of others but it seems to encourage you as well. You so deserve this as you give to others – your knowledge, strength, time and energy. We thank you for this.

    As I write this letter Melissa is telling me of how her sister connected with her today and this makes me think of Jordan. I think of him often and now as I have read all of the new ways he is expressing himself I cheer him on. I send heart felt thoughts to his Mom and Dad, especially when a year is filled with hospital stays this can be a difficult time.

    I hope that you get the quiet, outdoor, peaceful, regenerating moment that you too deserve.

    Here is to great joy and awesome cocreating moments.
