Salon Session: How Do You Listen to Your Body? - 24 Nov.
Description
Everyone says, “Listen to your body.” But do we understand the language it speaks?
A tense neck, an unsettled stomach, the feeling of being constantly switched on. You notice it, but what do you do with it? Drawing on osteopathy, applied kinesiology and forty years of practice, Jan Berx shares his perspective on the connections between movement, tension, emotions and recovery. An evening to pause and pay attention to what you feel.
Jan shares how he looks at the body: how its different parts influence one another, how everyday demands and emotional tension feature in his approach, and why he asks about the story behind a symptom.
The conversation also explores applied kinesiology, an approach in which he uses techniques including manual muscle testing. Jan explains its place in his practice alongside osteopathy, conversation and collaboration with other healthcare professionals.
Our starting point is a question that concerns us all: how can you become more attentive to your own body? How do you notice what creates tension, what brings ease, and when you need rest or movement? And when is it sensible to seek help with what you are experiencing?
