Movements Afoot’s Blog

Lesley Powell, director of Movements Afoot

I have just heard interviews and the audiobook of the sellout book, “The Secret”. The bodymind connection has gone mainstream. My movement practice has taught me how to focus my mind. This concentration, once reached (a type of meditation for me), has changed my body and brought about relaxation.

To keep your mind focuses is a daily practice with successes and failures. Life and the stresses of work can take your mind into dark places. Movement has been my savior that teaches me how positive thoughts changes me.

As teachers of movements, we are teaching clients how to concentrate. We have to balance how much our clients can focus. Sometimes getting our clients moving with flow is the way to change the thought process.
