<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Dear Friends,<br />
<br />
Greetings to you all!<br />
<br />
Check out this wonderfully vibrant 80 year old woman as she performs a
marvelous dance on "Britain's got talent". With such grace,
agility, and energy, I think that she dances better than a lot of people in
their 20's.<br /><br />

health enthusiast friend!<br /><br />Good news! I am here to rescue you from your shoulder injury or pain!<br /><br />Whoa! I should first politely say, ...<br />
<br />
I hope you all had a wonderful, enjoyable and active summer. If
it was "too active", or more than you could handle, please
feel free to come in and see me. Whether it's because of your tennis
elbow, swimmer's shoulder, "computer user" carpal tunnel wrist
pain, housemaid knee, runner's knee, or for your "office chair
sitting" sore neck or back, I can provide you with
hands-on Functional Movement Re-Education work for your body in order to
learn a new pattern for movement. Or, more simply, for body pain
relief and healing.<br />
<br />
If it's been a while since you've been in, you might be interested for coming
in for your "fun maintenance session". As a long-standing
client of mine likes to say, "Even a Mercedes needs a
tune-up." :-)<br />
<br />
You’ll recall that I have previously sent you information regarding Peer-Reviewed
studies on how Feldenkrais is beneficial for various pains and anomalies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This month, I would like to inform you of
another Peer-Reviewed Research article that destines Feldenkrais as being
marvelous for curbing shoulder pain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The present study aimed to investigate whether Feldenkrais
interventions resulted in a reduction of complaints from the neck and shoulders
(prevalence, pain intensity, sick leave, and disability in leisure and work
roles) in 97 female industrial workers.</span></i><i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><br />

able to move easily, comfortably, and freely without feeling pain or
discomfort. If you’re not sure what I mean by having the wonderful
sensory motor experience of being able to move without your existing neck,
back, shoulder, hip, knee, or wrist pain, after your 35 minute hands-on session
with me, you’ll definitely <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">feel </b>what
I mean.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

To give you a little heads up in what to expect in your first session with me, firstly, I normally ask a new client in the beginning of their first visit with me to ...<br /><br /><br />"Please tell me a little about yourself and what I can do for you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> ..."</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Often times, people tell me that they are here in my office to see me because they have, for instance, neck pain or back pain or shoulder, knee, elbow, hip, or wrist pain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br /><br /> I do not, per say, work with pain, but instead, as a Practitioner of the work of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, I do <b>Movement Education.</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus, I refocus any perceived structural or pain issues into the context of functionality or movement.<br /><br />Therefore, I might follow-up by asking the client, "What is it, in your experience, that tells you that you have pain?"<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They might say, for instance, "Now it hurts me when I hit my tennis forehand."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or, "When I lift my child my back hurts."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> "My right wrist hurts me when typing at the computer." "I am uncomfortable while sitting at the computer." "</span>My knee hurts when I run."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> "Now I feel this pain in my hip when I walk." "</span>Walking seems to be hard for me now. It sometimes feels like it's a struggle. I even feel a little off balance. Walking is now just uncomfortable for me."<br /><br /> These are just some examples of how I then will begin to place our session together within the context or perspective of working with you, the client, in order to improve your, for instance, tennis stroke, or to be better organized to be able to lift more efficiently, or to be able to type on the keyboard without pain, or to be able to sit more comfortably ... or to be able to walk more comfortably, etc.<br /><br /> If you are a performer or athlete, who is not in any pain, you may wish to see me in order to refine your movement, that is, to improve the form for your sport more efficiently.<br /><br />Or, you may be interested in seeing me for, not necessarily any types of pain or movement issues, but simply for a relaxing, stress-breaker, rejuvenating session.<br /><br /> You may find it helpful before seeing me to look at the following video to see me working with, for instance, a client with back pain.<br /><br /><a href="http://feldenkraisjamesspeer.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">http://feldenkraisjamesspeer.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html</span></a> <br /><br /><br />I look forward to seeing you.<br /><br />All the best to you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Take good care,<br /> James</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /><br /></span><br />

When you think of the month of May, you may think of ... sunshine ... the outdoors ... or spring time.<br /><br />What else do you think of? You possibly think of ... beauty ... getting outside and having fun, doing what you like to do. You possibly associate May with the month of having the ideal temperature. That is, without actually breaking too deep of a sweat, it feels like just the right amount of warmth or heat.<br /><br />After shivering and quivering during the nightly Jack Frost from winter, with the arrival of the beautiful month of May, you possibly think of moving, blooming, blossoming, coming of age, a new life, a new season, coming alive!<br /><br />It stands to reason that the month of May was named for the Greek goddess, Maia, who was identified with the Roman era goddess of fertility, Bona Dea, whose festival was held in May.<br /><br />For the partiers among us, as every bar and club owner is grateful for, we all look forward to having fun, a.k.a. "Goin' nuts!", on Cinco de Mayo.<br /><br />This leads to ... when you think of May, you think of parties, coming to life ... indoors as well as outdoors ... in someone's living room, an auditorium, or on the beach, or in the woods. ...

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Greetings to you my health enthusiast friends!<br /><br />Hey guys, check out this inspiring video.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUf72dLf22c" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUf72dLf22c</span></a>
(7 minutes 49 seconds)<br /><br /><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Neverleavetheplayground.com
Growing Bolder Video Interview</span></b>Look how youthful and agile this attractive man in his early 70's, "Steve
Jepson", looks, feels, moves, and acts.<br />
<br />
There's obviously something to "playing", that is, to take any type
of activity or action and see how you can spin a different variety to
it. The bottom line is for you to have fun in what you're doing.<br />
<br />
A great attitude on life, with the energy of a young man in his 20's, look how creative and innovative this eclectic guy,
Steve Jepson, is!<br />
<br />
He's got an interesting website at <a href="http://www.neverleavetheplayground.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">www.neverleavetheplayground.com</span></a>.
<br />
<br />
If some of Steve's activities seem too intense or difficult, as an
alternative, you can start out and do, as he says, just a little of it. As long as you are having fun, that in itself is good enough.<br /><br />As Steve infers, you can design the course that he is seen using, or the toys
that he is seen playing with, or the other objects that he is seen exploring
and having fun with, to be smaller or shorter or lighter or slower, etc.<br /><br />If you want to eventually do more, you can progress gradually, easily, and comfortably, little by little, at your own leisurely pace.<br /><br />If you need help in learning how to re-design or revise your, rather than
saying "workout routine", but instead, as I like to refer to it, your "funtime play activity groove", I
can help you with this.<br />
<br />
Please feel free to contact me at tel. 310-395-1952.<br />
<br />
All the best to you in great health! Take good care,<br />
<br />
James<br /><br /></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">Thank you for coming here to my blogspot. :-) Please
let me start by saying that my background to become a Functional Movement
Education Therapist, I completed a 4-year training in order to become a
Practitioner of the work of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, he being the famed Israeli
neuro-physiologist. The curriculum included 1600 hours of course work,
spread over 4 years, which is necessary before a student finally “gets
it”. In this light, let’s explore together what I as a Functional
Movement Education Therapist do. ...<br />
<br />
<br />
Are you able to recognize an approaching acquaintance long before you can see
his or her face? The way we move is an identifiable part of who we are.<br />
<br />
We, as human beings, enjoy movement. We love to move. Babies love
to move. They love to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">learn.</b>
It’s within the innate desire and curiosity of a child (and adult) to
learn about themselves and their environment. They enjoy to learn how to,
for instance, roll, turn, bend, walk, or run. It’s within our being the
natural desire for rotation or rotating, flexing, extending, twisting or other
kinds of movements.<br />
<br />
Functional Movement Education is about <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">learning.</b>
It’s a way to learn. However, in order for someone to learn, it has to be<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> fun</b> and<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> interesting</b> to
the individual, as well as<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> comfortable</b>.
Thus, trying to, say, abruptly do a somersault or roll on the ground, or to
strain by forcing your hands to touch your toes with locked knees, if this is
uncomfortable, your Self (your body) is not <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">learning.<br />
<br />
</b>Clients originally come to me because of an injury … a back or neck injury,
joint pain in the shoulder, wrist, elbow, knee or other orthopedic
problem.<br />
<br />
As a Functional Movement Education Therapist, I do not directly go in with the
intention to “fix” the other person or to even change the other person.
However, I stay in tune with the “process”. I do the “process”. As
part of the “process”, I am always staying observant, to be observant or aware,
of the “process” that is happening or continues to occur between myself and the
client before me. By me, as the Functional Movement Educator, being
engaged in this “process”, this ultimately has wonderful therapeutic results,
such as eliminating pain or improving the quality of life function, actions, or
activities for the client.<br />
<br />
As I am working with a client before me, the following are questions that
continue to reverberate in my thinking as I am engaged in the process, or
"working" in my relation to the client.:<br />
<br />
"How can we 'dance' together? ... How can we move
together? ... How do we move together? ... What
movement is it that we want to do together? What is it (from preventing
us) from moving together? What do I put out? What energy do I put
out? Where do they meet me? ..."<br />
<br />
"Where my hands currently are on this person, rather, from where I'm
currently working, what else within this person moves? ... How much
of them goes along with this movement? Where along them does this
movement stop? How can I 'catch' the rest of themselves within this
movement? ... Are we dancing together differently?
..." "As I push here, how much or how far does this movement or
action trickle along them? ..."<br />
<br />
I may or may not get immediate answers, or, at least, no cognitive or
articulate answers to my questions. This is very typical. As part
of the process that I am engaged in, I continue to move or “dance” with the
individual, or continue to see where I can dance or move with this person,
continuing to re-circulate these kinds of questions.<br />
<br />
A physical example of what I do would be the following. A client comes to
me complaining of back pain. I ask the client to lie down on my table on
their back with supporting rollers placed under their bent knees for further
comfort. I am having them lie down in order to give their body the
opportunity to be taken out of their habitual pattern of holding or tension
while upright, in order to make them more comfortable, so that they can be more
open to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Learning</b>.<br />
<br />
Questions that begin to pervade my thinking as I am engaged with this person
are.:<br />
<br />
"What am I attracted to or drawn to within this person? ...
What catches my eye? ... What 'dance' do I wish to do? What
dance do we wish to do together? Where does this person want me to touch
them? ... to dance with them? ... to move with
them?"<br />
<br />
Sometimes, I might be drawn to the shoulder area. Yes, the shoulder, even
though the client complained of back pain. As I "work" the
shoulder, I allow myself to stay aware and observant of where does this shoulder
wish to move? Where does it want to go? How much of the rest of the
person comes along with this movement of the shoulder?<br />
<br />
Where within them, how can I "catch" the rest of their body within
this movement? I may then move to another place that I am drawn to.
I decide to lift their leg. As I lift, what else of this individual is
connected to this movement? I continue to move and dance with the
individual and allow myself to remain aware and observant of the process.<br />
<br />
After a session, a client will sometimes say how she was surprised
that I never touched her back but her "back pain" is gone now.
Again, I don't "fix", or rather, I don't go in with the intention to
fix. However, this Functional Movement Education work, a.k.a. movement
education, this cultivation of body awareness, brings therapeutic
benefits. Thus, it ultimately brings helpful results or fixes.<br />
<br />
Another word we Functional Movement Education Therapists use is to refer to
this session with a client as a session for improving "Functionality".
Note how I continue to use the words <b>Functional, Functionality</b>, or their
derivatives. We are working with a person's functionality, or how they
function, how they move or act. Functional Movement Education is <b>functional</b>
work. It is not structural work. We Functional Movement Educators
don't have the direct intention to change or manipulate a person’s structure,
albeit, their physical anatomy. This may happen ultimately, but it is not
my direct intention. The functional work is unlike other structural
workers such as, for instance, rolfers, who's intention is to manipulate or
work the fascia structure of an individual, or the chiropractor, who
manipulates or adjusts bone placement.<br />
<br />
Every single Functional Movement Education session is different. Each
session is customized to the individual. Each individual, each
individual's body, his or her needs, is unique, just as each snowflake.</span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;"><br />
</span></i><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;"><br />
<span style="color: #222222;">As a Functional Movement Educator, using my
hands-on tactical feedback, I help to expand a client's kinesthetic, or bodily,
awareness of themselves. By a person encompassing more of themselves, rather, a
greater self-image, pain or discomfort is eliminated.</span><span style="color: black;">Conclusively, I have given this individual the
sensory-motor experience of moving easily, rather, what it is like to move
effortlessly without strain or discomfort. Thus, they now have a better
“organized” body for movement. Having a better organization, they are now
pain-free. They have learned a new pattern for movement.<br />
<br />
Some of the conditions I have successfully treated include: <br />
Acute and chronic joint pain - including back, neck, shoulder, hip, and knee
pain, arthritis, sciatica, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, balance
issues, Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, as well as other orthopedic or
neurological conditions.</span><span style="color: #222222;"><br />
<br />
As a keyboardist, as well as former all-state trumpet player and all-county
cross-country runner, I especially enjoy working with musicians and athletes,
for enlarging their body and self-awareness to enhance performance. I was
previously honored to have presented Movement Education, twice, to the
International Association of Fitness Professionals (IDEA) at their 1996 and
1997 World Fitness Expo & Conventions, as well as at the 1996 North
American Feldenkrais Guild conference.<br />

2-minute video of me (made within a full, 45-minute session) working
with a client, by clicking on the link above.<br />
<br />
Please feel free to contact me for any further questions you might have.</span></span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;"><br />
<br />
Your first Functional Movement Education session with me:</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;"><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Functional Movement Education is a wonderful,
body-centered method for self-exploration using movement. I recommend to
my clients to wear loose, comfortable clothes. You will find that this
special form of bodywork is very relaxing. In fact, you’ll probably find
that as a result of the pleasant unwinding experienced, your body begins to
slow down. Therefore, you may have a tendency to more easily feel cold
during a session. For this reason, you probably do not want to wear
shorts. Thus, I recommend you wear long pants. Some clients like to
wear sweats. <br />
<br />
Also, you may want to wear socks and possibly even a sweat shirt if you might
need, otherwise, to avoid feeling cold.<br />
<br />
After the session, you will be in a nice, calm, relaxed state. Some
clients after receiving my work desire some quiet time afterward to be by
themselves to be alone. This may be as little as 15 minutes, or
substantially longer. After your session, your body is still continuing
to nicely process the “lesson” for some time afterward. Therefore, you
probably don’t want to do anything especially hectic or active, or any heavy
lifting, after a session. Preferably, you may want to wait until the next
day before doing anything especially active as your body continues to process.
However, living in today’s fast times, within our fast, familial and societal
obligatory world, this isn’t always possible. Therefore, I usually tell
clients to at least not do anything especially active for at least 3 hours
after a session.<br />
<br />
Clients ask me about "working out", or a "workout",
afterward. I tell them that it’s better if they work out before they see
me, and then they have the nice, relaxing session with me to look forward to
afterward. This is more productive than the opposite, that is, to receive
my work and then to immediately afterward go out and do a rigorous workout.<br />
<br />
However, I should add that if you have decided for yourself that it is
imperative that you work out, and there is no other time to schedule your
workout than for after a session with me, then, fine. Receiving my work
before working out and then working out afterward, … this is probably better
for you than only solely working out and never receiving any Functional
Movement Education work at all.<br />
<br />
Come on in and enjoy!<br /><br />The best of health to all!</span></span><br />

April 16, 2013<br />
<br />
Astounding five (5) yr old!!!! No music sheets needed. Seems to thoroughly
enjoy playing these songs, and becomes fully absorbed in the flow of notes, as
if he has heard/played these pieces 100's of times before! He certainly hasn't
had the years to comprehend what he's doing, nor practice to be this good, so
somehow his brain and finger dexterity have been pre-programmed, when, how, why
is a complete mystery! What a talent!<br />
<br />
Mind boggling!</i><br /><br /><br />Indeed! It sure is! I love articles like these that show the potential for we amazing human beings, how our learning can ultimately be enhanced, how we can ultimately strive and reach a great learning potential.<br /><br />Bon Apetit!<br /><br />James<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Dear friends,<br /><br />I just came across the following cool video on YouTube, titled "Anthro".<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_XR8bJwOZ0,"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_XR8bJwOZ0,</span></a> 5 minutes, 41 seconds in length<br /><br /><br />I think that the special effects look great! The video shows a small outtake<br />for a proposed, potentially full movie regarding "artificial evolution"<br />experiments being conducted on the moon, via a moon colony of scientists. The<br />dramatic clip opens up with a "MayDay", or Distress Call from the Lunar Base<br />directed to earth, requesting immediate help.<br /><br />This video incites within me a philosophical question, in that, will we as a<br />species, albeit the "human being" species, over the next few million years or<br />so, if we don't happen to otherwise die out of existence or somehow exhaust our<br />gene pool, evolve to be a more superior being, that is, possessing greater<br />superior strength and intelligence, as suggested in the "Anthro" video? Or,<br />would we humans instead evolve into being a more feeble or weaker species having<br />lesser intelligence as well? If you believe in Darwinian Evolution, we, as a<br />species, that being "Cro-Magnon man", came into existence about 100,000 years<br />ago or so, as the offshoot of our ancestral predecessors, they being<br />"Neanderthal Man".<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Neanderthal people had much greater strength than we current Cro-Magnon people. However, we Cro-Magnons possess much greater intelligence than the Neanderthal people did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That last sentence is perhaps debatable. </span><span style="font-family: "wingdings"; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><br /><br />The "Anthro" video suggests that men of the future would possess both greater<br />intelligence and strength, even perhaps having telekinetic abilities. For<br />example, observe how the "Anthro" creature is able to unleash his will, rather,<br />his mental powers, onto the much weaker human being, thus, resulting in<br />increased pressure onto the human being and ultimately cracking the human<br />being's face mask.<br /><br />However, come to think of it, the Anthro creature is not a result of Natural<br />Evolution. Instead, apparently, "Anthro" is, I guess, some sort of<br />laboratory-controlled evolution. Therefore, I'm speculating that the scientists<br />were responsible for tweaking the humanoid species toward whatever particular<br />direction they chose to go in, that is, to ultimately produce some sort of<br />humanoid being ("Anthro") capable of much greater strength and intelligence than<br />current human beings. The whole thing brings up an interesting concept and<br />subject matter.<br /><br />FYI. When doing an online search for the word, "Anthro", I come up with the<br />following.:<br /><br />Anthropo - (from Greek "human"), a prefix meaning human, humanoid, or humanlike,<br />especially with regards to sentience.<br /><br />The word "sentience" means the ability to feel, perceive or be conscious, or to<br />experience subjectivity.<br /><br />Anyway, enough cerebration! </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">:-)</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"> Simply enjoy the short video!<br /><br />Check out the "Double Eyes" of the evil "Anthro" creature. Coooooouuuuuuulll!<br /><br />The best to all,<br />James</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Dear Movement Education friends,<br /><br />Greetings to you all! Some of you may be interested in hearing about <b>"Walking Poles".</b> These long poles seem to becoming more popular for people, not only for mountaineering or trekking, but just for ordinary folk who wish to go walking. Walking Poles are also finding other valuable uses such as for the elderly, or people recovering from injuries. Also known as <b>Trekking poles,</b> <b>hiking poles</b>, <b>hiking sticks</b>, or even <b>walking sticks</b>, these "sticks" or "poles" are similar in appearance and length to a traditional ski pole and can provide a wonderful form of "Movement Reeducation" to one as he or she is engaging about the fun activity of walking.<br /><br />Walking poles can gently remind you that the action of walking is a <b>Whole Body Movement</b>. Just as your biological ancestors (many millions of years ago) used all four limbs for walking, the use of the modern day walking poles reminds you that your arms, as well as the rest of your body, are participating in the action of walking, in addition to your current awareness of the use of your legs.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">I have absolutely no business affiliation with anyone associated with any of the several different walking pole companies. I am just happy to share with you all a helpful product. Walking poles can be purchased from many places, one of them being: "Highland Cork Air Shock" from Komperdell.<br /><br />For those of you interested, you may like to check out the following link of this company's website:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.komperdell.com/en/poles/trekking_walking/basics/index.php" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.komperdell.com/en/poles/trekking_walking/basics/index.php</span></a><br /><br /><br />Recall that it is within our geneological ancestry, or ancient biological nature, that when we used to previously walk on all fours, we naturally knew, without even thinking, how to integrate the movement of our front paws with our back paws, as well as with the rest of our body. Now that we as humans walk upright, for the most part, we have perhaps subsequently lost some of that integration that we previously had naturally with our arms (a.k.a. our front paws). Thus, as a useful tool for re-discovering or re-integrating the movement of our arms with the rest of our body, walking sticks (walking poles) are therefore very useful.<br /><br />For someone who is having difficulty or balance issues while walking, rather than using the traditional cane while walking, which can possibly create an unnatural asymmetry within one's body, it can sometimes be more effective to use two different walking poles, one for each hand. This is a more evenly distributed, balanced, and natural movement for one's body.<br /><br />Happy walking!<br /><br /><span style="color: black;">All the best in great health!<br /><br />James</span><span style="color: #009900;"><br /><b><i><br /></i></b></span></span><br />

My forte is playing the trumpet (more on that below).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, I also am familiar with playing keyboards, especially the piano, as well as a little bit of guitar. This helps lend itself to understand the aches, pains and tribulations that musicians of all instruments sometimes experience in an effort to achieve perfection.<br /><br />Back in the day, I was rather good at playing the trumpet. Let me please share some reasons for that.:<br /><br />Sure. It's sometimes good to have a regimented music teacher, someone who lays down a structure, who sticks to the basics, etc. This kind of teacher usually sticks to drilling a student on learning to play scales, to play (sometimes boring) etudes, or other kinds of drills. However, I also believe that it is helpful to have variety. Therefore, I also believe what helped me a lot ...<br /><br />I am blessed to have had as my very first music teacher, “Mr. Clark”, through the public school system that I attended.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was in the 3<sup>rd</sup> grade when my beloved father purchased for me a brand new trumpet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I remember vividly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, it was inferred as being a fun, casual thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn’t have to take it at all seriously.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus, I would say that my biggest years for musical development were my grade school years, grades 3 through 5 that I spent with Mr. Clark.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Looking back I am fortunate that my parents really never pushed me to succeed at learning how to play the trumpet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They just sort of laid back and let me pursue my own curiosity and interests regarding the instrument.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was never any push to make it better, or “play more nicely”. Or a push to enter a certain contest or win a musical award and the like.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, on my own, because <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I wanted to</b>, later on I did enter contests, win musical awards, enter competitions …<br /><br />I would show up for my weekly lessons, in Mr. Clark’s office, sometimes with 1, 2, or maybe 3 other trumpet students, and we kids were allowed to have fun<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>… to explore<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>… to play<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>… to even frequently joke.<br /><br />Outside of the fun, “free-to-explore” Mr. Clark, as well as weekly band practice with the grade school band led also by Mr. Clark, I was fortunate to have a wonderful role model, that being the marvelous trumpet player, <b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Herb Alpert.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-weight: normal;">Most likely if you were born before 1970, you are familiar with the magnificently fun </span></b>music group, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Herb’s unique trumpet sound was popularly heard on television, such as in the opening as well as in other parts of the notorious show, The Dating Game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Herb’s horn became widely known for lively blasting the “Teaberry Shuffle”, for the illustrious advertisement for Teaberry Gum …<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not to mention, Herb’s magical renditions of the songs, “The Lonely Bull”, “Spanish Flea”, “Tijuana Taxi”, “This Guy’s in Love with You”, … the list of hits goes on … Even as late as 1979, during the disco era, Herb had an excellent hit, titled "Rise", which was played in every disco. With a great dance beat, everyone was luvin’ it.<br /><br />I collected all of Herb Alpert's albums.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was back in the day of the LP, with the uniquely illustrious covers protecting these priceless records.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Does anyone remember the cover to Herb’s album, “Whipped Cream”?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s just say that Herb would always state in concert to the audience, “We’re sorry that we can’t play the Cover for you.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">:-)</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><br /><br />Within the comforts of my home, I frequently put Herb’s records on the stereo and played along with him. I learned all the notes of his songs, either through imitation or by buying a <b>"Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass songbook".</b> Because I was exposed to his smooth, make-it-look-easy, trumpet playing style, apparently my inner body intelligence (fortunately) thought that that was how a trumpet player is supposed to play, rather, how a trumpet player is supposed to sound. Apparently, my body (and brain) registered or recorded that this was the way to play a trumpet.<br /><br />Herb Alpert was my idol.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I knew and played by heart all of the songs of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Extremely Luvin’ it!<br /><br />Occasionally, I would turn on the radio ... a pop music station <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>... I would then play along with the melody of the song. Sure. I didn't get all the notes right away. But, after several, ... several, ... several minutes, I was finally able to figure out what the notes were and to then be able to play along with the pop artist that was singing. If it was a rock tune, I would learn the notes (with sometimes <b>a lot</b> of trial and error, but this was OK.) and then play along with it. I enjoyed myself. I enjoyed what I was playing. I was having fun. If I wasn't having fun, I let it go for the day.<br /><br />As a child, when I became tired, or it didn't seem fun any more, I instinctively knew when to stop playing for the time being. I didn't have the belief that I was to "push myself", rather, to falsely conjure up more energy to artificially continue to play.<br /><br /><br />I got creative. I sometimes blew out any notes that I felt like honking or proclaiming out from my horn. I wrote a few songs. :-) Shabby and as rudimentary as they were, my songs probably made no sense to anyone else, but I was having a ball. And, apparently, it's under fun conditions like this that my body was learning to have fun and to play well.<br /><br />I played fun stuff that was fun to me, again, Herb Alpert music. I guess that Herb's sound back in the 1960's and 70's would be referred to today as something like "smooth jazz with a Mexican ethnic twist", or something of the like.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It spoke to me at the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I loved it!<br /><br />Another thing that I believe was helpful for my development as a trumpeter was that I was very often receiving positive praise and feedback from those around me, such as my family, classmates and friends, regarding “Jimmy’s beautiful playing”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was often told how wonderful I was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus, I actually started believing it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "wingdings"; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This then nicely snowballed<span style="color: #00b050;"> </span>or grew upon itself in a good way, in that I continued to have more positive thoughts about myself, which then continued to nourish me and my development for trumpet playing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then, I received more praise and accolades … thus, a wonderfully positive vicious cycle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s probably logical that you become great when you’re repeatedly told you’re great.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The universe manifests itself.<br /><br />One other thing that I believe was helpful in my development as a trumpet player …<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br /><br />When I was young, my beloved mother knew to buy for me as a gift one of the “Music Minus One” records from their extensive collection series.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She bought for my birthday, the “Music Minus One” series for “Duke Ellington”, with its accompanying songbook.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Duke was a legend within the jazz community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the accompanying song book mounted on my music stand, having my lead (solo) part written out for me, I then put the “Music Minus One for Duke Ellington” record on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This contained all the necessary background music, which consisted of strings, piano, percussion, etc. for each particular song on the record.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then, I was free to play the solo (lead part) of each of those particular songs, such as, “It don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got that swing”, and other fun songs composed by Duke Ellington.<br /><br />Although I was within the comforts of my small bedroom, I actually felt like I had a live band all around me, accompanying me as best as they could.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were there to support me, making me look good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was all about me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was my world, and the other “bandmembers” were just in it.<br /><br />The following year, Mom bought for me the “Music Minus One” record for “Hits by Hal David and Burt Bacharach”, with its accompanying song book for the lead part.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This record included all of the background music for these well-known pop composers for many of their various hits, many of them which they wrote for Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, the Carpenters, and Dionne Warwick, among others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I especially enjoyed playing the lead or solo for the songs on this record as the strings, keyboards, and percussion wonderfully supported me in the background.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was free to be the soloist within my wonderful bedroom, free of any outside world distractions.<br /><br />The company, Music Minus One, was begun in 1950. If you're interested, today, they have an informative website where you can also order products, it being:</span><a href="http://musicminusone.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">http://musicminusone.com/</span></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Now, for the icing on the cake, here's my chance to "toot my own horn". Literally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "wingdings"; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="font-size: medium; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By the time I arrived into the 8th grade, I was seated as the 1st chair for Trumpet in the New York Junior High School All-State band, thus, encompassing the whole state of New York.<br /><br />By this point I was interested in becoming a professional trumpet player. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, then in high school, I ultimately became obsessed with the primo rock group, Led Zeppelin, which changed my focus of taste in music.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By the way, I had the pleasure of meeting Robert Plant, the lead singer of Led Zeppelin. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> With such a warm, vivid and amiable personality and demeanor, I am convinced that he</span> is the world’s absolute nicest guy!<br /><br />This all brings me to my Functional Movement Education practice of today for working with musicians.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I work with these performers who often times have pain or discomfort in the back, neck, shoulder, and wrist areas.<br /><br />My Movement Education sessions are good in that they allow someone (a music student in this case) to "have options" .. to be able to have variety ... to not get unnecessarily stuck in structure or dogma. The regimented, I would like to think good intentioned, music teacher may say that a student needs to, for instance, stand in one particular "correct" posture. They may also unnecessarily deliberate that a student's mouth embouchure must contact the mouthpiece in one particular way, or that the student's arms must be positioned in a certain way, or that a student is to stand in a certain way - that they are to never slouch, etc.<br /><br />Although this might be an ultimate deliverable to attain, it may be adverse, or work against you, if it is your direct primal interest to achieve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may wish to consider to possibly let the postures or stances form naturally around themselves after you first acquire the desired sound.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This way, you did not create the postures from some artificial means, with no “soul” behind it or backing it up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead, your form naturally grew out from your skillfully attained prowess.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rather than pre-set forms, this may all be unnecessary dogma.<br /><br />[However, I will state that there is not necessarily any one formula.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For some, it may be ultimately productive to first go for the postures or stances, and to then subsequently allow the sound to emerge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hey, whatever works for you!]<br /><br />Allow yourself to occasionally slouch, if you want to, as you play. Don't worry. Your body won't want to stay like that permanently. Even slouching, if it is done all the time, rather than it being relaxing, will eventually become tiring. And, after a while, your body will naturally want to get away from doing any slouching.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Allow me to say that if you find yourself all the time slouching, then, allow yourself the option of sitting more upright.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you find yourself excessively slouching, you may want to ask yourself, "What is it that manifests for me to slouch?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Am I in need to rest my back?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Does the music I have selected to play manifest this?"<br /><br />Whenever you're playing, allow yourself to do anything that you want, when you want to - provided that you don't hurt yourself or hurt someone else.<br /><br />Here are just a few different fun variations for you to explore. Stand on one leg as you play. Stand on the other leg as you continue to play. While keeping your feet planted on the ground, turn around about yourself as you continue to play. That is, for example, with your feet in more or less one place, gradually twist the rest of yourself (from the ankles upward) to the left while continuing to play. Or, go in the opposite direction, rather, twist yourself to the right as you play. Look down at the ground while playing. Allow yourself to gradually arch your back and neck to look upward as you continue to play. When doing any of these variations, always stay within your comfort range. <br /><br />Have fun. Discover and explore for yourself how you can make it fun. Be creative. Allow yourself to be creative.<br /><br />When musicians schedule to see me for a Functional Movement session, I welcome them to bring their instrument.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When they do, I have them play a few lines of music before, as well as after, our session together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This way they have a “before and after picture”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is, they are able to directly transfer over the movement re-education experience from the Functional Movement table bodywork directly to their activity of playing music, and they have positive evidence and feedback of this.<br /><br /><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-weight: normal;">As a musician, <span style="color: black;">or someone who enjoys playing music, would you like to improve your prowess, dexterity, breathing, or be able to play with total grace and pleasure, without experiencing any pain or discomfort?</span></span></b><b><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">My Movement Education sessions</span> can help make you more aware of your habitual neuromuscular patterns and rigidities and to expand options for new ways of moving while increasing sensitivity and improving efficiency.<br /><br />Please feel free to call me at tel. no. 310-395-1952 to schedule an appointment.<br /><br />All the best to you,<br />James</span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #00b050; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br /></span></span></i></b><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br />Wow! That's a lot of words for a title. What do I mean by this?<br /><br />Please reference the following link to see an informative video made by <b>Movement Specialist</b> Jackie Mason, posted to Google. Former classmates together, Jackie was actually in my particular Training Program with me in New York City back in 1991 through 1994, when we both graduated together. Click below to see how Jackie's extensive knowledge of <b>Movement Education</b> comes through in the following video.<br /><br /><a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3005418105570551332"><span style="color: blue;">http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3005418105570551332</span></a><br /><br /><b>Movement Matters with Jackie - Part 8 - Relieve Back Pain with Rotation</b><br />58 minutes 5 seconds in length.<br /><br /><br />I did not intend for you guys to watch the complete video, it being over 58 minutes long. Although if you decide to do so, you may find it very helpful. I just wanted you all to see the first 3 minutes of Jackie's video, where she makes a good point to say how we, as people, when it comes to working out, treat our joints as "hinges". Rather, to put it in my own words, we usually only move our limbs and the rest of our body parts in "1-dimensional" kinds of movements. That is, we move "straight up and down", or, "straight back and forth". These are how most conventional workouts are designed. To give one example, take the popular weightlifting exercise, the "Military Press". You "press" or lift a weight directly above your head (in a straight line), and then you gradually lower the weight (in a straight line) back to "neutral" (the starting point) to then be able to repeat the same trajectory many more times. This is moving in one dimension. This is OK to work out like this some of the time, that is, to move "linearly". However, as Jackie infers, we should probably also work out our limbs and other body parts in "2-dimensional" kinds of movements, rather, in rotational kinds of movements as well.<br /><br />Thinking in these terms, check out the following video uploaded by Jack Cascio onto youtube.com back on December 14, 2011.:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qcXPg_2aYo"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qcXPg_2aYo</span></a><b><br /><br />Intense "Pull-Up Workout" Get Faster!,</b> 1 minute 54 seconds in length.<br /><br /><br />Jack Cascio is a revered fitness trainer, nationally renown for his knowledge and skill in improving athlete's sprinting speed and jumping ability. I like how within this video, Jack demonstrates some great upper body, pull-up exercises, which, believe it or not, can ultimately influence your running speed. [Remember, "Everything is connected to everything." Thus, if your upper body is primed, it ultimately influences the finesse of your lower body (your legs).]<br /><br />Note the second exercise that Jack demonstrates in this video, the "Around the Clock" pull-ups. These are good in that they are not the conventional linear, or 1-dimensional pull up. Rather, they are a 2-dimensional, or circular, kind of movement.<br /><br />Circular movements are great for developing athleticism. Speaking of which …<br /><br /><br /><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>The “Push-Up”</u></b><br /><br />We are all familiar with the classic exercise, the push-up. This is a wonderful exercise. However, keeping in mind what we have been discussing, it would perhaps also be beneficial for you if you modified the movement from time to time. After all, muscles like to be exercised with variety, at all different angles and perspective. This is why it is sometimes helpful to change up your routine from time to time.<br /><br />As you know, the starting position of the standard push-up requires you to position yourself on your hands and the toes of your feet, with your head, torso, and legs above the ground, with your arms pushed-out or extended. Thus, your arms are relatively “unbent”. From here, you begin to allow yourself to come toward the ground. Rather, you “go down” toward the ground. That is, you allow your elbows to bend in order that you be able to, for instance, touch either your nose, chin, or chest to the ground. Then, you immediately push out or extend your arms in order to push your body away from the ground in order to return to the starting position once again.<br /><br />Note that this is a “straight up and down”, or linear, motion.<br /><br /><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Here’s a fun modification to the push-up, which incorporates circular movements.:</i><br /><br />I enjoy doing these.<br /><br />From the starting position, the next time that you go down toward the ground, be different. Try to throw in a little “twist” or circle to the movement. That is, for instance, as you move downward toward the ground, have the intention of going downward as well as, at the same time, toward the right. That is, allow your face to simultaneously drop downward toward the ground as well as toward your right hand. When your face is about halfway toward the ground, then begin to allow your face to begin to move toward the left so that, after your face touches the ground, it continues to move toward the left so that when it is halfway up, it is over toward your left hand. Continue the upward movement as you begin to simultaneously move your head toward the right. Continue in this trajectory so that when you finally arrive up to the initial starting position, your head is once again in the center. You have now just completed a full circle! Bravo!<br /><br />You may have just discovered how this modification to the standard push-up, this circular movement, seems fun, interesting, as well as maybe even empowering.<br /><br />This circular movement may feel difficult at first. However, as you get stronger and more skilled, it becomes easier. You may even find that as you become more proficient with this movement, you’ll be able to increase the size of the circle, rather, the diameter of the circle.<br /><br />Can you think of other movements or exercises that you can do to incorporate circular movements, instead of doing the conventional linear movement? Go ahead. Be creative. </span><span style="font-family: "wingdings"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br /><br />Hasta la vista,<br />James<br /><br /><b><i><span style="color: lime;"><br /></span></i></b></span><br />

I thought that the following video, produced by Ghost Productions, was absolutely beautiful and fascinating.:</span><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=xMYjfb_M9wM&vq=large"><span style="font-size: large;">http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=xMYjfb_M9wM&vq=large</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">(5 minutes, 21 seconds in length)<br /><br />This superbly done medical animation film wonderfully accentuates the process of "Heal". This inspiring film marvelously displays the human anatomy and its wonderful supporting systems, as well as the great technology and recuperative powers of modern orthopedic medicine. I especially enjoyed seeing a close up of the hero's spine and the wonderful advances that modern medicine has apparently made in the realm of very functional disk replacements.<br /><br />At the conclusion of the video, there is the final screen display:<br /><br /><b>Ghost Productions.com Celebrating 15 Years of Excellence in Medical Animation</b><br /><br /><br />I have absolutely no affiliation with "Ghost Productions". I just thought that they presented an extremely well done video. I hope that you enjoy this short film as much as I did!<br /><br />The best to all,<br />James</span></span><br />

Of course, we all hear the hype about the sun's "harmful rays". Some say to simply use sun tanning or sun screening products. However, I have my own reservations regarding applying these "chemical soups" to my skin, especially if you take the time to read some of the ingredients listed on the bottle that after application will be ultimately absorbed by your skin and into your body. Can you say "Oxybenzone"?<br /><br /><br />Thus, I will use the commercial sun screen that is immediately available on the market only sparingly when I have no other recourse, that is, when I have to be out in the sun during those high intensity times of blazing sun. Of course, applying sun tan lotion is probably the lesser evil as compared to getting a full, outright sunburn, which I have had plenty of in my life time as a result of venturing into the sun during those peak times, totally unprotected, when I should have been otherwise.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />Thus, in order to be able to forego the use of sunscreen, some of us may be confused. That is, we might be thinking, should we stay out of the sun, let's see, is it between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m? ... Or, if it's the summer time, should it be between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.? ... But, what if it's Daylight Saving Time? Does this then mean between 10 to 4 p.m.? ... etc. ... It seems to be a lot of guessing and confusion.<br /><br /><br />To help untangle this bewilderment, there is a wonderful book I once read, titled <b>"</b></span></span><span class="fn"><span dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Doctor Morrison's Miracle Guide to Pain-Free Health and Longevity"</b> by Dr. Marsh Morrison, D.C., 1977. In the book, amongst many different health topics, Dr. Marsh writes:</span></span><i><b><span style="color: #009900; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /><br />The best test for sunbathing safety is in the length of your shadow.</span></b></i></span></span><span class="subtitle"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /><br />Dr. Marsh goes on to state that as long as your shadow that is cast on the ground is longer than you are, then it is OK for you to be in the sun. Or, another way to say this is ... If your shadow is shorter than you are, you should be out of the sun.<br /><br /><br />If you must be in the sun when your shadow is shorter than you are, I have heard some people advocate a natural, safe alternative to the commercial sun screens is, instead, using "unrefined coconut butter" on your skin. I will confess that if I have to be in the sun when my shadow is shorter than I am, I still reach for the Coppertone bottle. :-)<br /><br /><br />The best in health!<br />James</span><span style="color: lime; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></span><br />
