Embodied Training

Embodied Training

The vividness of the imagination is greater if our motor systems are activated. The Rubinstein Method is unique in its physical training that sparks new pathways of seeing, feeling, thinking and doing.

Embodied Creative Mind Training cultivates the capacity to know ourselves and our environment with an exquisite, full-bodied reception. In this way we are able to immerse ourselves, free of blockages, into each encounter with a heightened consciousness and unique point of view.  This can often lead to a heightened vitality and those flame-like insights that seemed to arrive like a lightning bolt to the brain. At the same time, our embodied practice trains our minds to relish, not fear, the chaos and the unknown, to mind wander, and to focus with microscopic clarity on the details of the known.

Each of the 10 Facets are trained using both Everyday Practices as well as Immersive Practices.  Everyday Practices can be done while engaged in daily activities such as walking the dog, driving the car, doing the dishes, brushing your teeth, sitting on a park bench, etc. Immersive Practices require more concentrated periods of time and commitment. 

Creativity takes real courage.  Courage derives from the Latin word “cor”— which also means heart.  Embodied training of the mind/body revives our humanity and our creative output, beginning in the primary interior pulse, the one and only jazz beat of our unique hearts.  The seed of the creative leap begins there and holds within it something brand new and useful to the world.
