FREE E-BOOK with VIDEO PRACTICES: "How To Increase Strength, Flexibility, & Fitness While Nourishing Your Immune System and Increasing Your Energy Levels"
I can help you embark on a transformative journey to2 Columnwards enhanced well-being and happiness by addressing 5 crucial aspects of your life: physical, physiological, and mental well-being in your body, and social and financial (lifestyle) well-being in your life.
1. Physical Well-being: These practices are designed to help you achieve a fully functional body free from pain. By cultivating the necessary strength, flexibility, and fitness, you will excel in your daily tasks efficiently and without discomfort, leading to a more productive and enjoyable life.
2. Physiological Well-being: We will focus on achieving a balanced and energised state within your nervous system. By nurturing a calm and relaxed demeanour while maintaining ample energy levels, you will gain the ability to combat stress and depression effectively. The approach I offer you gently massages your internal organs and improves blood flow without needing to increase your heart rate, thus enhancing the functional ability of your immune, digestive and reproductive systems.
3. Mental Well-being: Through my guidance, you will learn to cultivate a positive relationship between the thinking brain in your head and your 'gut brain' (the enteric nervous system) at the core of your body (in the lower abdomen). This balanced approach between logical thinking and intuitive feelings will lead to improved mental functioning and a heightened sense of happiness in life.
Addressing these three interconnected aspects of yourself will lay the foundation for a holistic and transformative path towards unlocking your true potential for a fulfilling and joyous life, including your social interactions and lifestyle.
4. Social Well-being: These practices aim to enhance the flow of good energy (healthy blood circulation) and loving Information (parasympathetic dominance in your nervous system) in your body. This gives you a good model for your life and makes it much easier to interact lovingly and appropriately with your family and friends.
5. Financial (Lifestyle) Well-being: My practices here can give you a pain-free, functional body, abundant energy, and a predominantly relaxed nervous system. This balance between logic and intuition can make achieving prosperity and maintaining your desired lifestyle easier, contributing to a sense of purpose and fulfilment.
There are 5 temporal benefits of practicing 5-Dimensional Flow for health and well-being over the time of your life:
Gentle and regular practice of 5-Dimensional will leave you feeling healthy and happy on physical, physiological and mental levels in the following times:
PRESENT MOMENT: while you are doing your practice
IMMEDIATE FUTURE: after you finish your practice and for the rest of your day
SHORT-TERM FUTURE: over the next few days
MEDIUM-TERM FUTURE: over the next few weeks, months, and years.
LONG-TERM FUTURE: into your more senior years 20 - 100 years into the future)
What are the 5 dimensions referring to?
The 5 dimensions refer to the 5 different ways (or dimensions) in which the true core of your body can move. The basic premise of five-dimensional flow is that all action, breath, resistance of thought, or intuition should start from your core.
Your 'true core' is an infinitesimally small point. When magnified to the size of your lower abdomen, or to the size of your trunk, and eventually to the size of your whole body, you can move in five different ways, which we call dimensions.
The ways or dimensions of movement that your true core can do are like the movements of your spine or trunk:
(1) Lengthening and shortening
(2) Bending forward and backward
(3) Side-bending from left to right
(4) Twisting from left to right
(5) Expanding and contracting (like your trunk but not your spine can do)
What do you mean by the true core of your body?
The actual core of your body is an invisible point located approximately at the centre of your body.
At rest, your core is usually located between:
•Your navel and your pubic bone, inside
•The top of your hips and the L5-S1 spinal junction, and your tailbone, inside
•Your pelvic floor and your diaphragm
Your true core is referred to traditionally as:
•the Dantien in China,
•the Tanjeon in Korea
•the centre of the Hara, or Tanden, in Japan,
•the Kanda (the origin of 72,000 nadis, or subtle channels) in India, and
•the Nadu Kuru in some indigenous Australian cultures.
In Western medical science, the core is the seat of your enteric nervous system, the most significant part of your autonomic or automatic nervous system. The enteric nervous system is an extensive plexus or network of nervous tissue bigger than a cat's brain. It is often called our "second brain" or "gut brain." It is intimately associated with regulating healthy immunity, digestion, reproduction, and cellular regeneration.
In fact, your immune system, digestive system, and reproductive system are all connected to your enteric nervous system through nerves in your lower abdomen.
In Western physiotherapy and sports science, your core is related to your lower abdomen. The often-used expression 'engage your core' is often misunderstood as hardening your lower abdomen. More correctly, all movement should begin at your core. Sometimes, that may include hardening the lower abdomen, but 90–99% of the time, you should always be able to feel that each breath begins at your core in a natural, relaxed way.
In everyday life, many people refer to the muscles surrounding your true core as "core muscles." These muscles should be easy to contract, relax, and have enough strength to do their job. The core muscles include:
•The rectus abdominis (the '6-pack' muscle).
•Internal and external abdominal oblique muscles.
•Transverse abdominis.
Your core also includes less-mentioned muscles, such as those of your pelvic floor, hip flexors, such as your psoas muscle, lower back muscles, such as the multifidus, and, very importantly, your primary breathing muscle, the diaphragm.
5-Dimensional Flow can teach you how to control your core muscles, which not only strengthens your core but also relieves pain, enhances your energy levels, and helps you connect with your gut feelings.
About
I have studied traditional forms of posture, movement, breathing and mental control for over 50 years. Over this time, I have worked as a research-based scientist, movement-based physiotherapist and a university lecturer in several science fields. My passion for these subjects has led me to understand that the world is connected. To make the world a better place, people should treat each other, all life and the Earth itself in a way that acknowledges the connections between everything. The best way to begin this practice is to recognise and enhance the connections within yourself. I predominantly use unique methods to improve blood flow while remaining completely relaxed. This creates tangible connections inside your body that enhance health, happiness and longevity.
In my teaching, I show safe, accessible, and effective ways of developing practices that can give you the essence of being in connection or being in the zone or the flow state, as some athletes might say. This state is equivalent to the meditative state meant to be part of traditional yoga but is often lost in modern yoga.
The system that I share, which we call 5-Dimensional Flow, can give you:
Flexibility without stretching.Strength without tension
Blood flow without heart racing
Energy without breathing so much
Internal health without external medicine
Cellular intelligence without mental stress
