לפני 3 ימים25:54

25:54

In this episode of Resilience Radio, host Irvin Eisenberg continues his conversation with David Lobenstine, an experienced massage therapist and educator. They explore how deeper body awareness can transform well-being, the importance of relaxation in healing, and how letting go of tension is a skill that requires practice. David shares insights on the intersection of movement, breath, and mindfulness, explaining how they influence both massage therapy and everyday life. Key Takeaways: Relaxation is an active process—learning to let go takes time and awareness. Breath and movement are deeply connected to tension and release. Massage therapy is not just about fixing pain—it’s about fostering awareness. Most people hold unconscious tension that affects posture and movement. Body awareness helps break the cycle of chronic stress and discomfort. Letting go of tension doesn’t mean collapsing—it means finding balance. Self-awareness leads to better movement patterns and long-term resilience. Memorable Quotes: 🎙️ "You can’t force relaxation—it’s something you allow." 🎙️ "Most of us are holding tension we don’t even realize is there." 🎙️ "Breath, movement, and awareness are key to letting go."

Episode 83: Navigating Life: The Balance of Goals and Directions: Stephen Watson 33:02

לפני 4 weeks33:02

33:02

Summary In this conversation, Irvin Eisenberg and Stephen Watson explore the concept of health as wholeness, emphasizing the importance of being present in the moment. They discuss how the mind and heart can often drift into the past or future, leading to unhealthiness, while true health is found in the present. The dialogue also touches on the distinction between goals and directions, the impact of expectations on emotions, and the active engagement required to navigate life's flow with intention and awareness. Takeaways Health is defined as wholeness, encompassing body, mind, and spirit. The body can only exist in the present moment, while the mind and heart can wander. True health is found in the present; any distraction from it is unhealthy. Patience is often a negative relationship with the present moment. Goals can draw us away from the present; directions keep us grounded. Healthy planning involves being aware of our current state and adjusting as needed. Expectations lead to frustration, which can result in anger. Being present allows for enjoyment and learning in life. Active engagement in life is necessary; it's not about passively going with the flow. The practices of Taoism encourage intentional living and self-awareness.
