The physical realm is an important part of our existence. Not necessarily the body itself but all the physicality of the being is the most subtle yet potent aspect of the existence. Most subtle because it is in a continuum being always subjected towards death. Subtle as all the aspects our life become embodied however entagled, although everything could hypothetically be considered as simultaniously present, it is also entangled.
Existential philosopy is the philosophy of change and transition. In every transition the lines blur, the space becomes liminal and values transform.
Emotional stress well has a space in the body. But this space is not static as it can sound. It is resilient, it can bare a lot, and it is fluid. That space is fascia.
However, focusing on embodiment is not for every client, but for of us, bringing an embodied attunement into awareness can be very exploratory and reductionistic. Ultimately it can lead to a truth.
There are many tools and practices we use throughout our coaching journey. Fascial exercises come into play when needed but fascial knowledge is always there to guide our embodied experience.
Fascia informed practice can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, musculoskeletal disorders, sports injuries, postural imbalances, and even emotional trauma. By releasing tension in the fascia, this therapy can help alleviate pain, improve range of motion, enhance athletic performance, and promote overall well-being.
The fascial framework and exercises which are introduced the multi-disciplinary trainings that I conduct mainly focus on prop aided fascial exercises routines. However the exercise does not make it to nor coaching or therapy room, but it still informs the perception of our lived experience. Fascial exercises are an eclectic concept of receptor stimulant exercises which are composed of different fascia exercise principles with an addition of different movement techniques. It is a way of bringing various movement professionals, coaches and therapists in one room.
Existential philosophy is an essential part of this work. The beauty of existentialism is the inclusion of very simple and common themes and exploring to understand them and their relation to the life itself. Existentialism dives directly to the core. It does not exclude any unpleasantness or hardships in life. On the contrary the hardships, the moments of transendence and change are powerful places that we can cultivate change and meaning. Meaninglessness and pain are important signs that the time for a change has come. Existential philosophy helps us understand and relate with the challenging or powerful concepts of life which shatters our balance and opens up a new way of understanding by integrating more and more aspects of our existence by shedding the light of conciousness to ignored and self deceptive aspects of our being.
Polyvagal approach is the regulatory part of the process. Also it is quite valuable as it is accesible to a wider range of users, is composed of quite simple yet effective techniques and very suitable for online practices as well. We can implement polyvagal approach in sitting arrangements as well as to an exercise.
Mind is a very important part of this experiencial work. A movement is not complete without the meaning. An action which is initiated by the body is not complete without the mind. Exitential themes through an exploratory coaching work is neccessary for compherending, reframing and getting through what we have and discovering our authentic philosophy of life.
