Experience True Relief: Reset Your Nervous System

Changing your body pain and tension isn't really a matter of doing something to your body, but is about changing your nervous system as body, mind, nervous system are connected. You will learn how to reset your nervous system which will reduce your pain and tension. When your nervous system becomes overly sensitized (stress), body tension and pain arise. Because of these direct connections, you can change your body tension and pain by chaging the state of your nervous system, "resetting" your nervous system. I'm giving you the experience of how your body and nervous system/brain/mind are connected and the benefits of body-mind integrated movement practice.

My name is Taro Iwamoto. I'm a movement coach. I help people go from feeling overwhelmed, confused, and frustrated about not knowing their own body, what their body needs and how they should be moving, to feeling connected with their body, understanding their body and needs, and how to move in the best way possible for their own body from the inside out so that they can move with a sense of ease, comfort, and confidence! If this is you, I believe you will get lots of values from my contents.
When you start connecting with YOUR BODY and move slowly and pay attention to your body, you will start to understand YOUR BODY and optimal movement and posture for YOUR BODY from the inside out, in a way no one can understand. YOUR BODY only belongs to YOU. Only you can access your internal resources that is AWARENESS! You have innate abilities to overcome challenges and limitations of all kinds and learn and grow for a lifetime, and can walk into the exictement and pure joy and pleasure that comes from having the full ownership of your body! I'm here to help you tap into your innate abilities!

What you need is NOT superficial "body fixing/correction" techniques. What you really need is to learn how to connect with your body, and learn how to learn about YOUR BODY and how you move from the inside. No one can do this for you and to you. It's time to shift your attention inward to YOUR BODY! Changes start to happen from the inside!

Why the ads? 🎉

[@atmbs6687]

The ads? 4:19 , to cover expenses, it comes with self employment .

[@TaroIwamoto]

@@fingerprint5511 sorry for the interruption during your movement practice with the ads. hopefully you can use this interruption as a challenge that distracts your attention and nervous system, but stay connected with your body just like how things happen unexpectedly in our life and can stir up our nervous system. But, with practice, we can learn to regulate ourselves by regulating how we move, breathe, be in our body:)

i have been having severe pain on one side, i guess it's the sit bone, been told could also be the IT band - i do qi gong when i can and i cycle. i found that doing this i 'knew ' what was the balanced alignment - but honestly it was also the most painful.

[@charleenhaynes3057]

I replay your videos and each time it’s more useful and promotes mindful movement during my daily activities and exercises. I can feel my body movements 😊

[@mmurphy4488]

I just found your videos. I was told by my pain specialist to look into this. I have hEDS , arthritis and many spine, nerve issues. I get stuck in sympathetic mode due to, medical issues and PTSD. I have tead about rewiring your brain . Other methods have not worked. I am happy to find you and look forward to putting your teaching into practice. Thank you for being so generous with your time, knowledge and sharing freely with others. Blessings 😊

[@TaroIwamoto]

My pleasure:)

[@melissamattoon4219]

I do Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) with a pain coach and she recommends looking for positive/neutral sensations in the body instead of scanning for pain. This video helps with that. Thank you!

[@TaroIwamoto]

you're welcome:)

[@nyarparablepsis872]

I think this is the first time since my childhood that I sat on the middle of my sitbones. A giant amount of tension is just sloughing off when I sit like that, it's amazing. Thank you Taro!!!

[@TaroIwamoto]

nervous system reorganization in process :) Enjoy!

[@raginald7mars408]

The Best to survive!

[@deenarocco8908]

Thank you! Your video came up On my phone the exact time I needed this information. I feel much more grounded now. Blessings.

[@TaroIwamoto]

Glad to hear it! Learning how to connect with your own body is the very first step to retrain your nervous system and movement patterns:)

[@YogawithRachel]

Hi Taro! This was such an interesting practice. I noticed less tension throughout my entire spinal chain after completing the awareness exercise. I think it's because I shifted my awareness to my sitz bones as opposed to just focusing on my spine. When I am in a seated position, I tend to bring my attention to where my low back is in space, which then affects the rest of my spine and the position of my pelvis. However, I feel like I tend to overlook the importance of paying attention to where my sitz bones are and noticing where most of the weight is being placed. I really appreciated this exercise! I agree with you, there can be a disconnection between mind and body. This is why I love awareness practices like this one! It brings me back into my body so that I feel more present and at ease. I'm really enjoying this series!!! 🤗🙏

[@TaroIwamoto]

Sitbones have direct contact with a chair, so it's easier to sense them, and sense other parts in relation to sitbones. The more concrete your sensory experience is, the more clearly you can become aware of your body and how your body moves:)

[@charleenhaynes3057]

Thank you once again 😊

[@TaroIwamoto]

you are welcome:)

It works...magically Thanks for being U. ❤

so interesting!

[@TaroIwamoto]

what did you find interesting?

[@johnjordansailing]

Thank you for this simple and powerful technique. The combination of "sitting bones" and neutral pelvic position to sit with good posture almost effortlessly, was quite a revelation for me!

[@TaroIwamoto]

a key is effortless!

[@gangeoktow]

Amazing. Sitting with the back straight is so easy after learning your technique. Previously I had to put in a lot of effort to bring my back straight up as it was constantly collapsing. What have I done differently? I’m into Vipasanna meditation to develop mindfulness ie to be aware of the object in the present moment. My back is very straight while in meditation retreats. But out of retreat, I can’t get the same result. Perhaps what is lacking is the awareness of sitting. Am I right?

[@TaroIwamoto]

when your nervous system recognizes optimal relationship between your sit bones, spine, and head and learns to support your posture efficiently, sitting vertically becomes easy :)

[@JosePena-zj7dy]

Excellent ❤❤

[@barrysentials7226]

Excellent timing as it should be Thank you for sharing your insights on attaining a better life

[@TaroIwamoto]

my pleasure:)

[@eunoiadane]

Thank you it made me calm :) I've been doing a lot of of videos exercises but yours are the most effective and instant! It really works! You are a life saver!

[@TaroIwamoto]

Wonderful! glad it helped you!

[@Liimiinaa]

Thanks Taro! This is fantastic - I can tell my default sitting position requires more effort to stay stable and even breathe. I will use this exercise to check in with my body daily. Wow wow wow - feldenkrais is really ahead of its time!

[@TaroIwamoto]

You're very welcome:)

[@fcohen8296]

I love your videos! I know that I tend to have my pelvis tilted too much forward and have been working on that. What was interesting is that when I was doing this exercise, I realized that when I move my pelvis forward, I totally go off my sit bones and wind up putting my weight on my thighs and I often wind up that way! I'm sure this is not good for me at all. So thank you for making me aware

[@TaroIwamoto]

Thank you for sharing your experience and what you have noticed! I can only guide others attention to their body but so they become more aware of their body and learn from the inside:)

[@john5880]

I like your approach a lot, it is very uncommun from what we see everywhere yet so much more meaningful because it focuses first on the inside. Felt more grounded afterwards. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@TaroIwamoto]

My pleasure:)

[@frenykhory5158]

Wow!!! It is so easy to reset the nervous system as our mind connects with the body? It is wonderful as i felt the vibrations going deep into the heel of my left leg and felt very relaxed. Great, thanks a lot Taro for these wonderful sessions.

[@TaroIwamoto]

you're welcome:) "nervous system reset" is a fancy way of being in the moment. Bringing your attention to your physical body, and specific parts of your body makes it easier to sense and feel your body specifically, (connect to your body), and you're not in "your head" with all kinds of thoughts/noises, which keeps your nervous system busy. what specific movement retraining you do won't really matter until you bring your nervous system into the right state, so learning how to reset your nervous system by learning how to connect with your body is very essential. HOW you practice is more important than WHAT you practice. WHAT you practice becomes relevant when HOW you practice shifts to your internal focus (learn from the inside):)

[@frenykhory5158]

Very true Taro. Thanks

[@TaroIwamoto]

@@frenykhory5158 you are welcome:)

[@auntkaren3803]

I really appreciate your videos as self care for my multiple sclerosis, PTSD, and sciatic nerve impingement. Knowing my conditions are affected by stress and movement, I know these are skills I need for life that no time-limited treatment program can provide. It would be interesting to hear more of your thoughts on the dissociative component of physical and mental health conditions and the neurological impact. With much love and gratitude ❤💜❤

[@TaroIwamoto]

Yes these are skills we can all learn and develop and refine with practice, and these skills are essential for our life, in my opinion.

I’d love advice on trunk hypotonia in adults

[@TaroIwamoto]

can you tell me more about how your conditions are affecting your daily functions and your life and what you'd like to improve?

[@gangeoktow]

Actually where’s the middle of the sit bones?

[@TaroIwamoto]

great question! that is the most bony part of ischium, so you can feel it, and when you sit on the middle of the sit bones, your pelvis and lumbar spine sit vertically (neither flexed nor extended).

[@gangeoktow]

@@TaroIwamoto my most grateful thanks 🙏

[@dommccaffry3802]

I did this. I do not feel it has reset my nervous system, and furthermore i do not understand why it would ?

[@TaroIwamoto]

when you bring your attention and awareness into your body and learn to sense your body and movement in a specific and clear way, first, you're connected to your body, your sensation, out from your "head". This process alone reduces "noises" in the nervous system which can regulate autonomic balance system (downregulate sympathetic nervous system). From this state of the nervous system, you can start to retrain your nervous system and movement patterns towards optimal functions. When your nervous system is in an overly sensitized state, it's difficult to retrain. This is why I encourage viewers to close their eyes when they practice movement following my verbal guidance so they can shift their attention and awareness to their own body instead of the computer/phone screen.

[@dommccaffry3802]

​@@TaroIwamotothank you for your detailed explanation

[@TaroIwamoto]

@@dommccaffry3802 you're welcome:) we live in the world where we're constantly bombarded with information, and kept in our head space, which makes lots of thoughts/noises, which stirs up our nervous system. So, bringing your attention to your body,, specific part of your body is a way to shift away from thoughts and bring yourself into now. This is exactly what zen meditation practice teaches. So you can look at this body-mind integrated movement practice as a form of meditation practice as well. From this state, new possibilities begin to emerge and come into our awareness.

[@fingerprint5511]

This is what physiotherapists teach.

[@TaroIwamoto]

that's wonderful!
