Tuning Up Your Body, Feel It First

How the Miracle Ball Method Is the Missing Link to Chronic Pain Relief, Stress Reduction, and Reshaping Your Body

The old paradigm of exercise doesn’t work.

Let me rephrase that.

I don’t want anyone to stop exercising. I simply want more people to realize that it’s not which exercises you do—it’s how you do them.

Here’s a quick analogy.

Think of a musician—a rock guitarist, for example. We’ve all seen them on stage. In between songs, you’ll notice them rapidly tuning their instrument. Most of us don’t notice when the guitar is slightly out of tune—but they do. They know they must keep tuning it for the music to sound as good as it possibly can.

That relationship is what I mean when I say the old paradigm of exercise doesn’t work. When it comes to our bodies, no one ever teaches us how to do this. How do you tune your instrument—your body?

The Miracle Ball Method gives you those directions.

Now let’s compare tuning an instrument to the feel of moving your body. This is probably where I lose some of you. The feel of the body is analogous to the sound of an instrument.

If you don’t hear the bad notes, no one is going to enjoy the music.

And if you’re not familiar with how to “tune” your body in a similar way, you risk moving it year after year while wondering:

• “Why do I have these awful aches and pains?”
• “Why doesn’t that injury ever improve?”

You may spend countless hours—or dollars—with someone else telling you how to move your body. For years, I listened to students repeat what their physical therapist told them was “wrong” with their body and how to move it. It made intellectual sense to them—but did their body understand?

Good directions from a trainer, coach, or yoga teacher can be very helpful. But eventually, you have to digest that information through your own experience of movement.

Just like for those musicians, tuning their instrument is not playing a song. And for us tuning up our body is different than the exercises you choose to do.

Your Body Responds in Milliseconds

Information alone without a personal experience of your body doesn’t work long term.

The Miracle Ball Method works through your nervous system. Your nervous system is the current to your muscles, just as electricity is to a lamp. Once you flip the switch, the light goes on—you’re connected.

Your body has its own equilibrium and sense of balance. It knows where alignment is. When movement is approached through intellect alone, this system can’t fully function. Even the greatest teachers in the world can only take you so far.

But what if it were as simple as that musician who pauses—because they can hear the sound—to adjust the strings and keep playing?

That is what the Miracle Ball Method is.

The Miracle Ball Method increases sensation in your body through very counterintuitive directions—the opposite of what we’re typically told to do in exercise. The more feeling you experience, the more your nervous system can use that information to realign and take pressure off common (and some not-so-common) issues such as chronic low back pain, scoliosis, tight neck and shoulders, and rotator cuff concerns.

So many of us never get to experience this unique phenomenon of the human body.

The Method facilitates your body’s own ability to feel—so it can take in more sensation and use that information to adjust and realign more easily. You can return to your exercise classes and experience your body differently. You may feel more of yourself. You may integrate more of your body into each movement.

To conclude: exercise is important. I would never suggest sitting in a chair all day. But exercise done without this extraordinary ability to feel is extremely limiting.

Once you begin to understand your instrument and the feedback it’s giving you, exercise works so much better. Exercise, as it’s commonly taught today, doesn’t work—not because exercise is bad, but because we’re disconnected from how we feel while doing it.

You can’t move what you don’t feel.

That’s why I say we train ourselves to age. We move less and less of certain parts while repeating the same old patterns.
