Finding a New Normal

January 26, 2026/0 Comments/in Awareness Through Movement, Feldenkrais Method, Weekly Newsletter/by Gika Rector

The more we find ease and grace, the more we let go of unnecessary striving, the more we create a new normal—a new normal that we can come back to again and again.

Taking Time to Exhale

December 9, 2024/0 Comments/in Awareness Through Movement, Feldenkrais Method, Weekly Newsletter/by Gika Rector

Making Sense

November 11, 2024/0 Comments/in Awareness Through Movement, Feldenkrais Method, Weekly Newsletter/by Gika Rector

Seeking Clarity in the Tangled Threads

August 8, 2013/4 Comments/in Coaching, Reflection/by Gika Rector

As this year has unfolded, I have a new appreciation for how our lives are all intertwined, the way we touch one another, whether close or far away.

Front-Porch Conversations

June 18, 2010/4 Comments/in Coaching, Reflection/by Gika Rector

Perhaps the best way to be fully human is to experience the richness of life—the good, the bad, and the ugly. As sad as I am to watch dear friends wind down their lives, I’m equally grateful for the richness and grace that their lives have added to mine.

Pain and Grace

January 28, 2010/4 Comments/in Reflection/by Gika Rector
