Ep 67: Growing Young - A Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen Experience Thinking Pilates Podcast

There may be words somewhere, at some point, but I'm not quite sure what they are. 
James and I, along with two of our most beloved colleagues, Claudia Moose and Louise Johns, recently spent 4 days in Berkeley, CA with the soulful Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen. The topic of our time with her: Engaging Self and Other Through Embodiment. Phew. Yes. What? Shaking. My. Head. Head in hands. Tears. Knowing. Not knowing. 
This is one of our many "download", WTF just happened/is happening, could this be any more strange and amazing, conversations. This...is what happens when you find yourself in the right place at the right time being drawn into yourself, into others, and into the force that is your life NOT separate from everything and everyone else. 
Listen. Period. 
Then get your ass in a seat in front of this woman. xo

"I don't know. I don't have the answer. Fortunately, I don't need to know." -- March 2019"One of the things I think is essential with sensing, is that we reach a point where we become conscious and then we let it go, so that the sensing itself is not a motivation; that our motivation is action, based on perception." CQ, Winter 1981"Cellular embodiment and awareness is a state in which all cells have equal opportunity for expression and receptivity. The structure is one of an open forum, in which all cells share the power of the group collective (tissue, organ, body) by embodying their present state of being. This does not mean that all cells are the same. It means they are each totally free to state their mind and to support and respond to the experiences and expressions of all the other cells within their present community of cells." 1988
Be drawn into...yourself. Rest. Allow. Listen. Be...still. Smile.
