“STIFFNESS You are rigid and inflexible in whichever area it is in. You have a resistance to change.” - Annette Noontil, The Body is the Barometer of the Soul.

Are you irritated by much that is outside of you?

Do you ever think someone is talking to much, they should have done it differently? Or perhaps you hear yourself respond to new information with 'you don't know what you don't know'. Do you need to create the perfect external situation, with only the perfect people?

Stiffness is subonscious muscle tension in the body, which reduces our response-ability, making us sensitive to the energies of that which is outside our own skin.

Maia Movement is about you remembering you are your greatest expert.

However, we have created habitual stiffness as we have all been taught we need to rely on external experts to manage our life experience, and this requires doing what we are told, which through repetition makes habits... which are stored in subconscious muscle tension, which is stiff... ooohhh

So when someone asks you, 'What happens if you can't do/buy that thing you do/buy that is making you better/stronger/stretchier or able to cope?" and this makes you pull back and get annoyed, or shut them down by saying 'well we each just have to find that thing that will work for me'.

Whilst the massage treatment I offer you can be relaxing, and make you feel good, I am not a bandaid… I do not want to be responsible for how you feel… feeling good and feeling bad because of something outside of you - are just different ends of the same scale.

The scale is BLAME... or giving your power away.

I did not dress for such a professional chit chat... but here I am... in a long video.

Stiffness is subconscious muscle tension.

“I can only make you feel what you are capable of feeling”... Isabelle.

EYE ROLL... this was always the response from my first great massage therapist love, and anytime I told her she made me feel better, she would say that to me… it took many years to find the understanding that she didn’t want to be responsible for how I felt.

If a therapist can release your subconscious muscle tension, so can you.

“It all comes back to you”... Kahuna Abraham Kawai'i.

Next evolution EYE ROLL... this statement replaced Isabelle's when I started Kahuna training, I think Isabelle & I may have enjoyed the same teachings.

It is frustrating... because we have chosen to believe we don't know how to take care of ourselves, and that we are too complicated to understand without many years of study, and a certificate.

If you are irritated...

by what I say, by me talking about this innate knowing we all have, and that we have all chosen to override with the inferior intellectual intelligence the population adheres to… that is because it is hitting a block within you, and generally that block has been created by following intellectual intelligence, being a good person and doing it regardless of how it feels, because an expert has said so… you have been doing everything right… yet you are still falling apart, either through doing to ensure you don't, or by actually falling apart.

In all fairness... What I say is irritating...

because I am not meeting your learned requirements.

I am asking that you simply tune into what you can feel, asking you to feel yourself. This irritates us all, because we are schooled in a way that is insidious to our culture, and that creates a habitual situation of numbness and disconnection.

These habits within us limit the space in our mind, and we need 'stuff' to be presented in a certain way or we don't recognise it. We can now see this in Yoga, Kahuna Training, Shaman’s… they are all presented in the box of mainstream education… so that people recognise it.

I see this as perpetuating the state of our well being, which generally isn't that good.

If there is any sort of health issue, past or present, that you have taken steps to fix, medically, operations, herbs, practices, homeopathy, diet, treatments… or continue to do things to make sure it doesn’t happen again… have you sorted the issue out?

Ask yourself… What happens if you stop doing these things you do to make yourself healthy, or to avoid getting sick?

What will happen to you if you stop?

We are taught to fight aging, and plan for aging at the same time, so we are planning in full fear mode, as we exert energy into making sure that doesn’t happen, or... we just move forward accepting what is coming to us… someone else will fix it, it is what happens.

Identity is a big part of this, the feeling of belonging, which is now entwined with identities of lack, disease, issues... we are losing our innate intelligence, our personal power and our uniqueness to these labels.

Maia Movement is the space between accepting and fighting

Here your effortless strength, balanced energy and complete and natural breath exists.

Your immunity is strong, and it is your boundaries, nothing can make you sick, drain your energy or make you feel better and give you a high... you are universal intelligence, perfection in balanced motion... everything and nothing in presence.

Your unique identity is expressed in your Breath

How our breath moves us is ours, when we choose to follow instruction to control our breath, or to protect our health by inhibiting our breath (masks), we have compromised our essence and our immune system, the base line of our existence here on earth.

I can only guide you to learn to feel what you are doing

When your internal environment is in a state of safety, your nervous system can start to release the habits that are compromising your organ system function, and limiting your breath, and limiting the space in your mind, as well as inhibiting emotional flow, and clogging up spiritual clarity.

The habits are what feel irritated when you feel the vibration of truth regarding your innate intelligence and you being your own greatest expert. Habits are subconscious muscle tension, where energy and memory is stored, locked up sometime in your past and irritation is this issue being brought to your attention, and you not wanting to face yourself.

Subconscious muscle tension is created by and energises your mental, spiritual, emotional aspects.

You are hearing a truth, feeling a vibration, that makes you realise you have been educated and chosen to believe you are doing the right thing, which just happens to be integrated with your problems.

Does it matter… NO.

The way you learn to feel what you are doing, is also how you release what you are doing!!!

This is vibrational, universal energy, which intellectual intelligence has limited understanding of, unless it is about controlling, or manipulating it, and control is going against the natural flow of universal energy.

At any point on our adventure we call life we can start to be responsible for how we are experiencing being, if we want to do that.

We must let go of blaming anything outside of ourselves... anything.

We must claim that power back into our being.

Turning toward yourself is freedom.

Letting go of controls that limit your breath… frees you up to the flow of universal energy.

The more effort we put into being something, the more effort we need to put into maintaining it... exhausting.

We need physical safety, which exists when we stop undermining our innate intelligence and nervous system by doing things to improve ourselves.

The energy of doing to improve, confirms we are not enough in the present moment.

We need unconditional acceptance of what we have created in this way, to allow ourselves to see our subconscious habits that are restricting our breath and requiring us to busy our mind continuously.

No more strengthening or stretching, no more breathing into or counting repetitions, or following time…

Just be you.

Your unique, complete and natural breath, effortless strength, balanced energy... as I say a lot in Maia Movement.
