Irritation of the sciatic nerve, which is felt as pain in the buttocks and down the leg, is a common problem. This podcast covers some of the possible physical and mental causes of sciatic nerve pain.

This discussion begins with a question about "ground reactive force", which is referred to in Pain-Free Sitting, Standing and Walking. The conversation continues about how the legs and hips use the ground for leverage, for easy walking.

What do these four things have in common? This podcast looks at how a person uses his or her eyes, and how that affects balance, tension, and one's sense of self.

This podcast is a guided sensory awareness exercise, with periodic verbal directions given by Craig. This exercise suggests how to experience your whole body as continuous process of shifting sensations, rather than the typical way of experiencing it as a solid object. It can also be a way to center yourself and to relax. Try it!

"I have lots of muscle tension and usually Is there any link between fatigue and chronic muscle tension? Can tight muscles keep you on edge and keep your nervous system on constant alert? Can improving your kinesthetic awareness help calm down your nervous system?" 
 
Craig presents a mind/body approach to these questions, attempting to answer them all in 15 minutes. The discussion includes the idea that muscle tension, fatigue and anxiety are often connected to each other - addressing one issue can help the others, but it doesn't necessarily replace the need to address the cause of each issue specifically.
