How Do You Know When You Are Out of Balance?
I didn’t even know my body was out of balance. I wasn’t sure one way or the other. But my Body was sending me symptoms in the form of lower back pain, tight hips, weak hamstrings, and a bit of sciatica. Which was enough to get my attention, since it had begun to interfere with my activities, standing, hiking, and work. I was spending a good bit of effort and time to seek out the source and cure the problem.
It moved around and showed up at different times making it difficult to track. I knew I had been diagnosed with degenerating lumbar disks and a bit of stenosis years ago, so I was looking into the latest treatments for sciatica, including the latest surgery techniques. And yes, lots of YouTube videos from all kinds of people with physical therapy rehab expertise. Stretching was no longer working. But my Body was no doubt telling me I was out of balance!
Of course there were other signs of being out of balance. Foggy brain, nothing really working, stagnation, failure to write, creative block, and cravings for sugary artificial feel good remedies. But overall, things were just not meshing in many aspects of navigating this precarious world that we know is out of balance.
So in a world out of balance, that is a powerful force pulling on us to stay in freeze, fight, or fight emergency mode. Chaos, confusion and all the crying babies take a huge toll, no matter how we try to make it all ok in our minds and hope it will get better.
My Body was yelling at me! You better Reconnect and Restore Balance. And in so doing maybe restore clarity of our current perception of our current ongoing genocidal reality. And my prayers were answered by finding some Youtube videos that spoke about a 3 month training program that can reset your Core and Restore Body Balance. And one of the reasons these videos stood out to me, is because Dr. Ryan Peebles speaks in Taiji words about bypassing Dominator muscles that kick in as an injury response And he coherently explains how we can reconnect instead to more of our subtle internal energy meridians that re-engage and turn on our less dominant internal core muscles.
Relearning How to Walk
And now, one month into the 3 month Training, I’m really enjoying meditating in on the place, where I turn on just enough core pressure with support from my glutes and turn off just enough of the dominator muscles to engage my pelvic floor muscles, hold my pelvis forward, in a way tht straightens and protects my lower lumbar spine. And Dr. Peebles implemented the Training in such a way that reteaches your body to maintain and strenghten a strong and balanced core automatically without thinking. Because at the beginning, the breathing and movements felt very awkward as my body turned on my unused glutes and internal core. It really is, and feels like relearning how to walk!
When I began experimenting with using what I had learned in the Training in my 3 mile walk, the light bulb went off. I had been walking out of balance for a long long time with a pelvic tilt, shortening my hip flexors and causing havoc with tight hamstrings leading to on and off nerve pain. In the month I have been integrating core balancing into my walking, my 3 miles have become pain free and I’m finding it much easier to bust a brisk 3 mile walk.
So I encourage everyone to check out Core Balance Training’s 7-Day Free Trial! That’s what I did. I just gave it a try, thinking I would cancel after the 7-day trial. However, I had already learned enough about Dr. Peebles rehabilitation philosophy and was feeling huge relief and expansion in everything I was doing, so I signed up for the entire 3 month training! And everybody at Core Balance Training has a heart of gold. They really are successfully helping people cure their back and core issues. And they love doing it. That’s why they are only charging $99 a month for 3 months. Because they could charge so much more for this old school Qigong wisdom. But they make it more than reasonable because they don’t want to price anyone out. And when you start comparing the huge expense of surgery or other kinds of therapy, you will know what kind of deal this is.
There are many ancient and natural ways to Restore your Personal Balance on the Planet! Qigong, Taiji, Yoga, all forms of meditative practices. And that is good because we often need to see that all of these are speaking about the same energy. That subtle qi energy that we can rarely experience if we are running around in a hurry out of balance with little time to sit still and Feel what our Body is telling us. Different practices will speak to different people. And the Core Balance Training respectfully utilizes these ancient energy body moving techniques in ways that focuses our energy into rebalancing our Core, the very Core that anchors our Foundation in Balance so that everything else we do during the day begins with a yin and yang balance, in bone, tendon, muscle, fascia, and energy meridian.
Our Body Will Tell Us If We Listen!
Even if your back is strong and you are not suffering from any of the possible symptoms of a weak and out of balance core, I propose that you check out the free trial anyway. It is a great way to engage and strengthen all of the anchor points and their connectors so that your grounded connection to Mother Earth is as solid and balanced as possible. This way, you will be efficiently serving your Sacred Mission as a fully functioning energy conduit between Earth and Sky!
Enjoy!
