Intu-Flow


Having more time, after graduating college, I have restarted my practice of Intu-Flow which is about joint mobility/range of motion. Interestingly, it is understood that our age is determined by our joints - almost like the rings on a tree!

This system is powerful in that it opens all the energy in the body, brings greater intuition, clarity and ease of living. This system is so profound that it can be used to clear out trauma from a human being...

Indeed, Intu-Flow is almost like a Qi Gong or Tai Chi program without the cultural fluff- making it very valuable to Westerners. This program is especially wonderful when combined with Qi Gong (3 regulations of 1. intention, 2. posture and 3. breathing experience) which is integral to the practice anyways. My only criticism is that it could be emphasized more - as in adding a meditation component and going slower on some ranges of motion.

The book about Flow Fit "freedom from fear reactivity" by coach Sonnon is fabulous. Coach Sonnon works with top military, governmental security, Olympic and professional athletes and has won many awards - going through a lot of struggle and glory in his personal life in which he liberated these techniques from Russia. Now, his company is donating much of his materials to ALL military officials. In fact, this "CIRCULAR STRENGTH TRAINING" has been "NAMED AN OFFICIAL HEALTH AND CONDITIONING SYSTEM FOR U.S. ARMY"! see here

Interesting is how this work implicitly enhances the spiritual energy in the body. Clubbels are implements like heavy bats used by Rmax to work on "circular" as opposed to linear strength. If you look at drawings of of Hanuman, Vishnu or other ancient Hindu gods and Hindu wrestlers they are often depicted with these sorts of implements.

Let me know if you want to borrow my copy of Intu-Flow... it is quite fun and I wish I had found it 13 years ago when I was 10! Seriously, it clears out trauma/stress and helps bring you to a new state of optimal health...
