Casual chats and thought trains
Looking at the healing power of movement. Wanting to bring this 'holistic' view away from new age hippie yoga mums and into normalcy.
Two paths I seem to be looking at
- Movement to heal
- The 'Inner Pulse'
Is there some way to connect the two?
Meeting with Mark Bradford. Find his PhD research, particularly the method section. Importance of keeping a Wing Tsun diary is consistency.
Meeting with Lauren. Healing implies there's an end, possibly look at 'management'. Martial arts and dance, be specific about what you're wanting to focus on. Can be both. Find a target audience to focus research on. Possibly narrow down to a target affliction (eg RSI), though if using yourself as demographic watch for confirmation bias.
Look into Karl Young, mind/body as an academic affirmation of holistic approach. Be aware of Qualitative research and quantitative research, get both (this many people suffered diabetes/how did this person feel about diabetes)
Green prescriptions as a thing, talk to people about this and get stats and views. Wellington regional sports trust.
Previous exercise initiatives, often too easy so people find it boring or lose interest or it's too difficult/intimidating. Looking at places like schools where people are made to exercise, not one-size fits all type thing. Need to find a niche and passion, something they enjoy and want to continue. Why do people at Wing Tsun keep coming back? Do survey.
Hierarchy of needs for the social aspect.

Casual chat, Dr. Julie Forsey. Thoughts on the green prescription. The long arduous process of forms and paperwork is absurd, the amount of 'man hours' put in doesn't make it worth much if the patient doesn't even get seen after they've been referred. Very frustrating. On the flip side, Dr. Forsey would like to see the idea taken further. New Zealand has a fantastic body of sports professionals, if patients were to go directly to them for preventative health care such as blood pressure tests, cholesterol tests and other signs that are strongly linked with exercise this would be massively beneficial. Doctors just don't have time in their appointments to inspire patients to exercise but personal trainers can give them encouraging pep talks and goals. Dr. Forsey believes that very shortly we'll have a health care crises as the majority of Doctors are close to retirement. There simply won't be enough resources for people to see doctors. Look into Proactive Physio '4 corners' of health. They prescribe a 6-week gym membership as a form of healing. It takes 6 weeks to form a habit, 40s days in yoga, Jesus went into the desert for 40 days and 40 nights, rained for 40 days (Noah). Glen Morris, Path Notes of an American Ninja Warrior. The brain is a map of the body, not the territory itself - quote check.
Active learning vs. Passive learning.
Importance of movement:
-Can fulfil social needs (Weis defines loneliness as two different types: emotional loneliness and social loneliness. Emotional loneliness is related to intimacy and close relationships whereas social loneliness is a lack of numerous relationships. In other words, one needs both close relationships and a wider community. )

-The mind. Known to help with depression and anxiety. releases dopamine. Positivity, general wellbeing
-The body. Keeps you fit, reduces the risk of disease, weight loss, body image etc.
-The spirit. Connects your mind and body. Embodiment. The Inner Pulse??

“Changing the body, from a Buddhist point of view, is changing the mind," Wangmo says. "Sometimes I think Western medicine and health practices overlook this mind-body partnership. But in Tibetan Buddhist teachings, the mind is the ultimate source of clarity and well-being.”
Summer program participant Emma Neish, a rising senior at Emory, plans to bring that perspective to her future career as a physician.
“Being a pre-med student, I am already appreciating the agency we have over our own perceptions, emotions and mind and how that relates to our health and well-being," she says. "Never before would I have considered that one’s 'emotional hygiene' plays an equally important, if not more important, part in his or her life and health than the daily maintenance of one’s physical hygiene.
