Get To Your Core!

When it comes to generating power for rotational movements like throwing a ball, swinging a bat, pushing a door open, smashing a tennis backhand, or even pushing a vacuum, there's nothing that beats the lunge exercise to prepare your body.

The "Spiraling" system of external rotation that comes from your ball and socket joints during this lunge movement is crucial not only for strain free efficient movement, it's also what preserves and protects your fragile upright posture. 

Essentially…it keeps your joints healthier and your body younger.  Enjoy and let me know in the comments where YOU feel the lunge when you do it! 

 For all you Core Wellness Garden Cast lovers…Here's a BIG DOSE of early spring action in our back yard no till garden! 

• You'll hear our 5 year old share deep philosophy and share his infectious laugh.
• You'll see cold frames and mini green houses in action for year round growing and harvesting of dark leafy greens.
• AND…You'll learn how a no till garden can create more mineralized plants for a more alkaline garden and therefore a more alkaline body environment!

Remember that hormones and vitamins only work if the pH of your body is right.  An acid enviroment from too much grain and meat (especially grain fed, factory farm animals) means less effective biochemical reactions in your body which leads to low energy, weight gain, and degenerative diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes to name a few.

So watch intently and let me know what you think of these GardenCasts…MORE or LESS. 

Also let me know what kind of content that I've put out so far is your favorite!  I want to serve you best.  So drop me your feedback in the comments below!

It's time to get that garden going! 

Remember…the best way to ensure good, organic, nutrient dense food is to GROW YOUR OWN!

It starts with the soil, of course.  And composting is the best way to get started in your gardening adventures!

In this episode you'll see the simple compost bins I made with FREE materials!

Plus…we get to visit our friends at their farm as we thank their horses for their "contribution" to the garden this year. 

Even if you don't make your own garden, It's SO important to get connected to your growers and BUY LOCAL whenever possible.

Also…our boys and our neighbor got to come along to cure some of their "Nature Deficit Disorder"

Enjoy and LEAVE A COMMENT to let me know what your biggest question is about starting or maintaining a successful organic garden!

What's the best way to avoid chronic pain and strain from sitting in a chair all the time?

GET RID OF IT!!

The tips in the video above will hopefully give you some ideas as to how to make your computer or work station environment more ACTIVE!

Lots of people are starting to use exercise balls chairs but if you choose the wrong size you could be doing more harm than good! 

The video squares that away for you right off the bat!

The standing desk station is my favorite.  I stand on a rocker board so I can keep my central nervous system engaged and my posture balanced.  It's very difficult NOT to stand in good posture when you're balancing on a rocker board!

PLUS…you get to burn some extra calories in the process!

And as far as the exercise ball surfing at the end…well that's obviously advanced core training and I do NOT suggest you go and try that one just yet.

So let me know what you think about these tactics for reducing strain at your computer work station and let me know what helps YOU the most to avoid strain while you work!

Another question if I may…If you sit on an an exercise ball chair or use a standing desk workstation, has it helped you??

When it comes to finding a comfortable sitting posture, this sitting posture imagery will help you enjoy a strong and stable center without even having to "think" about it!

The power of your IMAGINATION to rewire your brain is everything!  

Not only is developing a clear vivid picture in your mind crucial to creating what you want in life, it works the same way with creating the strain free posture and movement you need to continue to live an active and fulfilling life!

Of course the images you watched in the video merely scratch the surface as far as what's possible BUT…

What's MOST important here is the concept of "pushing away" from your support points just like an infant trying to verticalize.

These automatic perfect posture programs are inside you but, unfortunately, like I told one of my private clients yesterday, we get "viruses" that corrupt our inborn programs of perfect posture.

These "viruses" happen when your bodymind is infected with a mental, physical, or nutritional stress.

The new damaging "stress induced" programs infect the system and pretty soon your inborn programs of health, renewal, growth, and expansion become really hard to access.

You know the symptoms…don't you?  

Communication suffers, things run slower, and sometimes the entire system crashes to force you to identify and eliminate the viruses.

It's the same thing with your bodymind. 

You must identify and eliminate the stresses that are blocking your ability to naturally flow into your perfect posture pattern of growth, peace, renewal, and expansion!

Then, when you follow the imagery exercise in the video, you can access your original, beautiful, perfectly designed posture with greater ease and never feel drained again by a long day of sitting!

NEXT TIME IN PART 3:  How to do posture training and burn calories while you're at your computer!  (No joke!)

Be sure to leave a comment about how you did with the imagery exercise...Where did you feel it?  What did you feel?  Did it help?  Did it hurt?  Let me know…I'm really interested in your feedback!
