Marc J Acquaviva on lower back issues (Scaravelli inspired)

So this half hour free live class was in response to a question about back pain and the lumbar spine... I explained the paradigm shift that we need in the West if we are truly to 'embody' our essential nature. (please forgive the wifi cutout at 10 mins or so) 
'Embodiment' is a bit of a buzz word at the moment, so its meaning is being a little lost... you ARE embodied - already - as in, your somatic experience of body is a direct result of your relationships to engaging it to fulfil your intent... This yoga offers a new paradigm that shifts the mind into a place of communion with the body's inner voice, so that we can begin to learn its language... And to hear this, to start with, we must listen carefully if we wish to hear anything, beyond its initial complaints... It is however, incredibly resilient AND incredibly forgiving as soon as you begin to listen well and respond by giving it what it actually needs ... The body has such wisdom to impart if we would only listen!
What I am offering you in these free sessions is ways of shifting mindset and body-patterns that relate to particular thinking, into a position of simple compassionate Presence of mind to the deeper voice and wisdom of the body... This is what I mean by 'Creating the Conditions©' ... what we need to do, in order to be able to tap into this wisdom that is available to ANYONE (that has body and breath), whatever their current experience might be.
