From Pain to Possibility Susi Hately

Today’s episode of the podcast is special because it was recorded out of some real-life inspiration. It involves me exploring the magic of the healing process and how to achieve that with your clients on a consistent basis.


Listen in as I explain why, if we want to make a difference in healing, we need to move from technique and in the direction of transformation. Because there are no binary answers in healing—we must step back, utilize anatomy, use our knowledge, and allow for the magic to arise.

It’s that time again—time to achieve rest, recuperation, and better breathing with another body scan practice. Only this exercise is meant to be performed while in a side bend as it can be a lovely place to settle through the body.

In the next part of my “Exploring Your Feet” mini-series, I’m talking with two trainees of my recent Yoga Intensive, Lisa Neukomm and Angelique Canonico. Both are here sharing their stories about feet-related issues and how they’ve benefited from my course to begin healing.



Listen in to our conversations as we open your eyes, your heart, and your mind to the healing possibilities in your own feet and body, and that of your clients. That includes becoming more aware of your movements, using your breath to relieve tension, and promoting strong, supple feet.

When experiencing pain or discomfort, it’s easy to fixate on finding out the next exercise you need to do for your rehabilitation process. That logical processing is necessary but in order to support a transformative healing process, we must also use a different part of our brain.
 


This practice will allow you to enjoy the benefits of the relaxation response, which slows down brain wave frequency and provides optimal healing opportunities. So, whether it’s outside or on a treadmill, tune in for this walking practice for a more mindful approach to healing your feet.

In part three of my mini-series, Exploring Your Feet, we’re taking a holistic view of healing the feet—a perspective that incorporates both the body and mind. To do so, we’ll be looking at our feet as our body’s foundation but also as a link in a connected chain.



So tune in as I explore kinetic changes and several exercises that can be used to support your clients as they improve the function of their feet. I’ll also be examining how to better understand body mechanics and why it’s possible to make progress in how we feel without actually making changes to those mechanics.
