Z Discoveries Part 3...Concious Awareness

Some of the theory supporting Z Health is the idea of Sensory Motor Amnesia (SMA). SMA manifests when there is an acute injury. I will use an ankle sprain as my example. As a sprained ankle heals, the body 'protects' the ankle by blocking out some of the pain. Now the pain is not in the ankle. The pain registers in our head flashing that there is a problem at the ankle. The body and mind wants to avoid concious attention around the ankle and therefore the ankle might become a chronic hindrance or continue to be tweaked. Z allows conscious attention and therefore concious motor control back to that specific area. It can work on ALL joints and range of motion when you have the discipline to do it for a period of time.

This is big. Mainly because we have allowed machines of all types creep into our lives. We want a machine to do it for us. Exercise, corrective therapy, or computer work. Some things are best left to what you are willing to discover for yourself. How serious are you about discovering who YOU are? Are you a robot on some levels? Are you willing to change that and become consciously aware?

Let's take this a step further. Are you consciously aware throughout your day? On all levels, physically, mentally, spiritually? Are you present or do you have presence? There is a HUGE difference between being present and having presence. I know many times I have falling into the 'I'll just show up' mentality. 'Being present' is consuming space (taking). 'Having presence' is contributing space, thought and flow (giving AND receiving). "Just because you are present, doesn't mean you have presence." a quote from Tony Blauer. Work on your presence regardless of the task you are doing. A great exercise to do is focus on your breathing for 5-10 minutes. Do it in this manner:

Stand or Sit in a comfortable position
Inhale through your nose and move the breath down the front of your body slowly (about 7 seconds down to the tip of your coccyx (tailbone) and then begin to exhale as your breath travels up your spine and over your forehead.
Repeat the inhale when you have reached your nose.

Do this every day at least 5 minutes for a week. I promise you will have begun to discover a new level of you and a conscious awareness of feeling that is only the beginning. Carry this into everything that you do. Take your training, Z Health practice, job, business or whatever you do to the next level by having presence.
