Nahid de Belgeonne, a somatic movement educator, author and Feldenkrais practitioner discusses the importance of movement and the connection between the body and mind. Nahid argues that our bodies are dynamic organisms that need to be engaged and not confined to a sedentary lifestyle. She mentions the development of talking therapies that incorporate physicality, such as sensory motor psychotherapy and somatic experiencing, to address the need for a holistic approach to mental health. Nahid suggests that having a good relationship with oneself is crucial for building healthy connections with others. She emphasizes the importance of understanding and regulating our own nervous systems in order to create a positive environment for ourselves and those around us. We discuss how our bodies can unintentionally shut others out and the need to practice being comfortable within a system of coexistence. Nahid then talks about her upcoming book, "Soothe," which combines scientific research and practical techniques to help readers understand and regulate their nervous systems. The book covers various aspects of the nervous system, including its context, influences, and ways to recover and reset in moments of emotional distress. The conversation shifts to the role of movement in emotional well-being, with Nahid explaining that even individuals with restricted movement or injuries can benefit from engaging in movement-focused activities. She mentions the use of imagination to simulate movement when physical limitations are present. The discussion concludes with a reflection on the importance of self-care and finding what works best for oneself. Naheed shares her personal journey of using movement to soothe her anxiety and emphasizes the need for a balanced approach to self-improvement and compassion towards oneself and the environment.
