#028 Deeper Into Physical Practice with Benny Fergusson

The Mason Taylor Show - A podcast by Mason Taylor | Multidimensional Health

Categories:

Had to have one of my favourite humans on the show for a second time. As I move deeper into my personal work with Benny Ferguson I wanted him to dive deeper into the unique and potent movement principles that he teaches. Through his teachings people all over the world move beyond movement fads and find a system that gives them access to releasing tension, increasing mobility, embodying strength and cultivating flexibility; all in a way that works uniquely with their body. With a focus on understanding gravity and how it flows through the body Benny and I go deep into the physiology and intention evolutions that come with developing a personal practice that leads to a body that is tension free and ready to engage with life in a dynamic and personalised fashion. Strap yourselves in and be ready to take your movement practice to another level as we chat and laugh our way through a beautiful discussion about movement and the human body. NOTE: If you wish to skip my ranting intro talking about the media and pro-vaccine mob we had come down on us during the tour… skip to 30mins in.  In this interview we dive into: Our past gobsmacked stance on fascia and how we’ve integrated it into our lives since the first interview. How to reclaim natural human qualities that have been lost. Understanding the capacity of the nervous system to communicate information and how to enhance this.  How the body works as an electromagnetic pump, and how the tone its core function. The way your physical structure and posture communicates with your outside world, children, family, friends and peers. The way we adopt physical structures and postural imbalances from our parents. Holding the intention to make your last breath a graceful one. The nature of uniting body and mind and what becomes possible when you begin this process. Tapping into just how much information the body/mind can take in in any given moment and how to become more proficient at being present to this. The connection between posture and disease and beginning to read the signs so we can make choices about the direction we take with our body and health. How to set multidimensional boundaries for your body, mind and spirit. Merging intention with physical practice. The many ways to relate to discipline. Discipline being the vehicle to c. Benny’s 3 word intention process. Overcoming/working with the self-critic. Movement amidst stillness and stillness amidst movement. Earning the right to move freely. Standing meditation and developing the ability to perceive and release tension. Releasing the tissue to gravity to restore tissue flow, strengthen joints and develop springiness. Fortifying tissue and joints now so that you may reduce injury in the future. Opening and closing the joins. Embodying animal like movement into human physiology without buying into the current animal movement trend. Create superior balance by standing still. Yep we covered HEAPS, and there’s more.
