Like any other system in the body, I only notice the "system of choosing" when it doesn't work fluently. Let's take the knee as an example, I don't notice my knee as long as it's working, I start noticing it when I have pain, when it doesn't work properly. Every day there are hundreds (if not thousands) of choices that we make, most of them go unnoticed. It is only in points of dilemma, points in which different parts of me want different things that I notice the point of choice. Here comes the real challenge, how can I listen to all my inner voices? How do I prioritize the voice that is most valuable for that given choice? It may sound corny, but usually there would be a voice that represents fear and one that represents love. I pray to have the courage to choose love, but it's not always the case.

Dommage si vous pouviez avec IA traduire français. Merci

I’d love to train this with you one day absolutely obsessed with it as well🙏🏻

Very powerful! Thank you. It does stimulate something inside me.

Non Violent Communication helps a lot to understand how we take choices and why we do things when we feel that we "have to". In fact we always have a choice and we always choose according to our needs. And yes, if we want to change something, it will always require a kind of practice. 🙏

this is very beginer freindly

A speech you should give Connor

so good brother. The FULL Choice

Commitment 🙌🏼

Interesting. I really appreciate that perspective. 🙏🏾

Resistance is a fierce mirror, revealing the hidden fractures in our will-and through those cracks, aligned choice can enter. This practice is not merely about forcing action, but training the depth of alignment within each choice. Can we fully choose without unraveling the layers of resistance that obscure our true intent? If resistance becomes a sacred catalyst rather than an enemy, then “I must” can transmute into “I am,” and the boundary between willpower and surrender dissolves. In that alchemy, choice is no longer divided, but whole, and freedom emerges from the very friction that once held us back.

One helpful idea I've learned about making decisions is killing all other possibilities once the choice is made. In other words, cultivating the ability to not look back once you make a choice, and wonder what would have happened had you picked differently. This can be done inside oneself - by trying to put the other options out of one's mind. But it can also be done outside oneself - by burning the bridges that would enable you to go back on the choice you have made. In this way, you always look forward and go with your choices into the future without second thoughts. It's not an easy habit to build, but for me, it is a useful one.

portal is lucky to have someone to play with like that

I’ve found that in my life when I don’t choose the “the full choice” as you put it, or even the right choice at all, there’s an even deeper part of me that I have to literally quiet down, block out, and ignore, which yearns for me to do the things that are actually consistent with what I want for myself. And when I meditate on this, a lot of the times I realize that what seems to be the easy thing (not doing, not making the full choice) is actually the hard thing. It’s just not usually obvious because I pay the price over the course of the rest of my life in the form of self-resentment.

choosing doing something that you don't want to do at the moment makes it easier to do at a later time , not choosing something that you want to do is a superpower. Loved your talk with Andrew I hope you will do another.

Thank you dear teacher ❤

Build the muscle of choice and skill of willpower.

Are You Still With Conor McGregor Ido ? And I Think He Lost That Movement He Had Achieved Training With You, What Do You Feel ?

What shoes are you rocking man?

Love it man. U are so inspiring figure. Keep doing good work❤❤❤.

10 seconds hold for the stretch after each rotation?

i love how easy it is to follow your verbal articulations , always a pleasure

in our capitalist world; learning has been replaced by consuming information

At first cool, capoeira centric & movement blog, good gungfu; later self absorbed; now superfluous & cliché...but some sheep need their Shepherd/muse.

Thank you Ido. I hope all is well for you.

Thank You so much! I hope You are fine. What You and many practitioners do is such a hard but interesting work. The best teaching method can fail, because each Eleve (famulus) is different in the way of learning. That what You said reminds me to Erich Fromm`s "To have or to Be". Further to Moshé Feldenkrais, who wanted (as I understand it) a slow way of INDIVIDUAL sensing, without a certain aim (what You should feel at the end"). That can give the possibility of finding an individual goal, depending on where the client elève was coming from. Those goals can give potencies to learn coordinated complex things and reach (maybe) the effect of the masters goal. I try to let it happen. When a master is curious to find the fruits of his job :there is also learning possible (win win). Sorry my English is al little dusty.

You seem interesting but I need to know whether you are free Palestine or k111 Palestine before listening any more.

Es como si... todo se nos perdiera en el objetivo en vez de disfrutar del proceso de aprender. escuchar, focalizar... La vida esta en el proceso no en el exito u objetivo.

Closed with "these are just some quick thoughts" 😂

Food for thought

Madre mía, madre mía, madre mía! Alberto!! Es que eras Ido Portal también??! 😂

Beautiful message Ido, thank you. Also going to use ‘kiss your eyes’ with my kids with thanks to this video . Happy prosperous New Year

Relevance realisation

Very useful, Thank you

So Ido is going vegan👏🏻

You are talking about the difference between understanding, experience and embodyment of knowledge. Yes the developement from one stage to the next takes time and honesty, none is better that the other. Confusing one for the other creates disturbances in ones life. The authentic streams of buddhism pointed that importance out. Thanks for your sharing, contrubution and your work Ido. Your're much appreciated.

💚💚💚🕊️🐍

The statement is rich in philosophy but lacks practicality. I firmly believe that a student doesn't need a hundred years to excel at something if the teacher is effective in their instruction. Instead of spoon-feeding information, a good teacher should share as much knowledge as a student can absorb. If not, it suggests that the teacher may either lack skill in their subject or is taking advantage of their students by withholding knowledge for personal gain. Happy New Year, and best wishes for the year ahead!

GREAT

Beautifully communicated. Thank you. I hope you have a wonderful 2025!

Thankfully there is some content on meta learning already. Is a skill we all need to develop in our challenging times. Someone like Mark Passio told about the Trivium method on his Natural Law presentation back in 2014. Everyone should check it out.

heve you ever think to opnen online courses?

Mc Donald’s and multidimensional movement doesn’t make sense. 😜

People may watch but still not understand the benefit of the slow process involving struggle and challenge vs the fast immediate results. Here is my understanding. When learning, if the process involved struggle or failure, you are more likely to retain that ability or information long-term and feel more reward. If there is no effort, because the answer was given directly, then the knowledge is less likely to be retained and there is less satisfaction because it was not earned. You may wonder why this is? Knowledge of the brain and hormones helps explain. When a goal is set, such as learning a movement, you're subconsciously monitoring progress. When you fail or struggle to perform the challenge, the brain recognizes that your current knowledge or ability is insufficient to meet your goal and recognizes it needs more information. Other circuits of the brain and systems in body are "primed" for learning via hormones such as cortisol and epinephrine. This priming, or preparation, of other systems to learn is caused by the stress of the struggle.

15 years ago Ido came to my gym for a full weekend workshop. It opened my eyes to how to learn and how to teach. It's something that I've carried with me in all of my life and its value has been tremendous in my personal and professional life.

Learning is listening, reading, practicing, applying it, correcting, asking to others that already know to correct and practice more, finding news ways to make it better. Humanity is doing it for centuries. But now, with so much information available, the practice time gets shortened for the wanting of more information. The value of practice is getting diminished to many of us. Let’s learn, practice and teach. Happy new year to all!
