Duffy Quiropratica - Book: Befriend Gravity
Glenn grew up on the outskirts of Dublin and remembers playing in the fields and being unsupervised playing in Nature and making dens. Then having dogs meant that they had to walk them which meant roaming around the local countryside and Wicklow mountains.
He now has kids of his own (7&5) and has followed his siblings in Nature based parenting. Today’s “hovering” parents try to control their children in an effort to protect them. This is often coupled with the parents teaching fear of nature to their children. Richard Louv’s book The Last Child in the Woods explores Nature Deficit in kids and how the “Bogeyman” is more likely to be someone you know (neighbour or friend) than to be found in the woods.
Kids like Nature are a lot better off when we stop interfering with them. Children with sensory disorders need to be in nature. Nature feeds the brain through natural stimulation, something we all need. Once parents become aware of the positive effects of being in Nature both in terms of health and lifespan they want this for their children. To schedule into their busy lives they need to FEEL the value. We are amnesic to the things that work for us.
Nature is in all of us, ready to be observed. We only need to stop, be present and observe.
Tips: 1) Draw up a values based list and build your weekly schedule around this. 2) The greater the attention the less time needed. 3) be immersed in Nature.
Meditation: direct attention to something in nature. Use conscious breaths as a gateway to this. At deeper levels become aware of the continuity of self with everything in nature (no difference, end or beginning).
The Body is so complex. You could spend a whole lifetime studying all the mathematics to explain it and still not grasp its complexity. So why waste time on trying to figure it all out. Glenn now spends less time trying to analyse things and more time using and honing his Intuition. The body is giving off signals all the time, turning off the analytical part of his brain and tapping into intuition, allowing him to see, hear and feel what the body is saying. This is almost a meditative state where he can pick up on the subtle cues rather than just what the client/patient is verbalising about pain. Indeed this can actually distract from the real or underlying problems. The medicalisation of health means that we want to turn off the body Shouting at us with pain signals, instead of listening to the whispering, subtle cues and conversation it is constantly having. But only if we “listen”.
