Noticing
Noticing what’s going on is a big part of
my movement and balance work.
It’s important to me to help folks learn about noticing.
Noticing what they feel, where they feel it, and
how those sensations relate to their movements.
Noticing is easy to do.
My mind automatically notices all sorts of stuff, wherever it goes.
But it’s pretty random.
So I wonder, is there a reason to notice particular stuff
instead of whatever happens to make a mark on my attention?
We used to have to rely on anecdotal information about this. For instance, someone got beneficial results from spending time noticing certain things, and they wrote a New York Times best seller about what they did. People read the book and tried it.
Some got good results, others didn’t.
Kinda random.
What’s different now is that we have quantum science, which has proven that when something is observed (gets noticed), it changes. More than that, the observer (the one noticing) also changes. Which basically means we exist in an environment that’s interactive with us to a degree we’re just beginning to recognize. Down to nanobits. Pretty weird, according to one quantum scientist.
But it makes sense to me.
My own anecdotal report is that when I notice the relationships between how I want to move, how I actually move, and what I feel when I move, my movements and the way they feel get better.
Just from noticing.
Since this seems to tally with quantum science,
I’ll be looking more into noticing.
