An effective way to learn and stimulate the brain is through physical movement. As we progress through life we experience many situations that can leave visible or invisible marks on our bodies and minds. In some circles it is referred to as "karma". It is like scar tissue, reminders of the past, often less pleasant things that happened to us. Our amazing survival instinct overrides and serve to help us endure and move on with our lives even when such things are stuck on us.
Our physical bodies are living history books for all our experiences. When an experience that had a profound impact on our life leaves a residual mark, the stain can stay with us for a very long time, sometimes hold us captive or render us immobile due to pain and effect our day to day. We intuitively seek relief. It's constant. If we find a way, we are better able to handle life. Healing is possible through yoga. It can unlock areas frozen in time.
It is important to stay active and to keep moving. We have the capacity to learn how to use our bodies to undo damage. You always start with what you can manage. With persistence and determination a little more is unlocked each time until you are free.
