The importance of a safe space

To explore changing a habit needs a safe space. Inhibition, the process of not doing what you always do, can and hopefully does, lead to something new and unpredictable happening. Allowing this needs the right setting, perhaps the reason setting aside time and space for „the lesson“ and the accompaniment of the teacher plays such a crucial role in learning the technique.

Inhibiting habits that are about „doing“ something seem to me to be less threatening than inhibiting the kind of habits that relate to our way of „being“. The muscles that have a „holding“ function that fundamentally affect our muscle tone and balance are also very much related to our way of being in the world. Exploring these can feel like a risky business.
