#113 3 Steps To A Sensual Spiritual Journey — Michael Landau

Leaving self care, playfulness and pleasure on the bottom of the list? It becomes like an either or, meaning, either I work my ass off or I enjoy life, sensuality and intimacy. But it doesn´t have to be that way! This episode of Persistent Growth will help you to create mindful movement habits that sensual spirituality, in just 3 minutes a day!   🔥 How Did Persistent Growth Began Michael Landau says, persistent growth came up with a pandemic when I already left university stopped, quit my professional career as a musician, decided to dedicate myself as a Feldenkrais Practitioner, which means that I worked with movement, with mindful movement. Feldenkrais helped me a lot in surviving and thriving as a pianist, like, organizing myself in a way that that works well and where I don't harm myself, which happens a lot.   🔥 Why Does Persistent Growth Works It works very well because it works with verbal instructions. So you don't really have to see the screen. You can lie on the floor and do the class, but you need some peace of mind, some peace and quiet, like, close the door and leave the world outside.   🔥 Why Persistent Growth 3 minute Scope Is Ideal Online, this is ideal. Michael thought, Why don't I make it really as short as possible so that the concentration span can hold it? In this very stressful situation where people can, just switch in for a short moment to explore them themselves in movement, but do it every day. So this was, um, this was the general idea, and I trying it with my students and with myself, just try reduce it to the minimal viable period of time where something small happens. And I found out just by trying that 3 minutes is it. It works. So in 3 minutes, where where you can really put, uh, click the pause button on on daily life on the stress, it's possible to do it for 3 minutes for most people and do it regularly, like, every day.   🔥 How Persistent Growth Helps You Even If You Don´t Feel Like Doing It I found it very, very useful and very effective of course, the idea is not to replace Feldenkrais or replace exercise and just do 3 minutes a day and then sit on your butt the rest of your of the day. This is not the idea. The idea is to create kind of a basis of, um, of mindfulness, mindfulness in movement, which is what we do, and, uh, and make it a habit. Do it regularly and try to to really stick with it even when you're stressed, even when you're in a hurry, even when you're when you don't feel like it. And when you when it's only 3 minutes, it's it's quite possible. It's quite possible. Even if you don't feel like it.   🔥 About Michael Landau Michael Landau was a professional pianist and university professor for over 30 years.
