Posts on how different physical practice approaches shape both movement and mental performance, exploring varied training approaches and their effects.
When I searched for positive first-person accounts of sensorimotor experience, AI did better than the humans. That is the triple irony — and it says something uncomfortable about what happens when perceptual capacity becomes tribal identity.
Most physical practice is oriented outward — what the practice looks like, what it accomplishes. The internal experience of doing the movement is rarely on the curriculum. This article describes the skill of attending inward, beginning with muscular sensation at rest, and how that sensitivity carries into every domain that depends on noticing what isn’t asking to be noticed.
Your capacity to act is bounded by your capacity to perceive. This article explores the perception gap in body awareness: why understanding a movement instruction is not the same as being able to act on it, and how sensory resolution develops through structured practice.
After analyzing thousands of movement instruction sessions with millisecond resolution, we discovered something surprising: most practices dedicate 97-99% of their instruction to visible movements, while the invisible layer—what we call micro-movements—gets almost no attention.
Exploring movement learning through AI revealed something unexpected: the parallels run both ways, illuminating how embodied intelligence and machine learning emerge from the same patterns
Though dance is supposed to grow “embodiment,” can it lead to disembodied perceptual experience? Catherine Gaudet’s “Les jolies choses” is a mind-blowing piece designed to induce an altered state of consciousness…
This is the companion Reflection Transmission for the conversation we had with Matan Levkowich. This reflection highlights the relevance of sharing, ethics, and the intention that goes into a practice or pursuit of life goals.
In this transmission conversation we chat about Matan’s dedication to–and brief hiatus from, his podcast– ethics in leading, life in the Israel army, and thereafter transitioning from a dedicated meditation practitioner living in celibacy…..
