Helping people see

Imagine you are visually blind.

Close your eyes and take a few steps while asking yourself the following questions:

Is the ground even or uneven?

Soft or squishy?

Dry or wet?

Is the horizon still horizontal or did it flip vertically?

Are you walking straight ahead or turning?

To answer these questions blindly, you use a different part of the brain than otherwise.

When you are blind to the external environment you rely heavily on internal information to adapt.

Most people have become blind to their internal environment. Therefore, they rely heavily on external information to know how to move.

They are blind to how their bodies stand, sit, and move. So they rely on chairs to cast their body’s shape during the day.

They watch famous fitness figures to see what they could look like if they worked out 4 hours a day. Some use drugs to alter their chemistry and kill pain instead of listening to it and making appropriate change.

Sadly, some end up in surgery to alter their anatomy in order to keep their compensations alive and let them keep doing what they’ve always done.

Proprioceptive blindness. But it doesn’t stop there.

Emotional blindness.

Blindness to toxicity in the body.

If you want to help people experience health, help them learn how to see.
