I really believe and enjoy your product; and continue to use it almost daily! I learned about your tuning board with my somatic therapist, who did Peter Levine’s training. Due to my upbringing with a lot of neglect; I have become an expert of disconnecting from my body and disassociating. In my 20’s I enjoyed a lot of modern dance classes, movement therapy and have continued yoga regularly throughout the years.
Despite my years of talk therapy, my progress has been limited. The tuning board has offered me a non-threatening way to gently tune into my body in a playful way. I mostly use it with all kinds of music and dance on the board: slow, fast and tuning into my breath and body on a very deep level.
For a period, I used it regularly in my therapy while dancing to songs, doing talk therapy or somatic work. This helped me easily do it at home and make it into a daily practice! I think because it increased my repertoire of music and time listening to music; it has also carried over to my having fun doing authentic dancing without the board! I also notice when I listen to the same music while doing other things my body has a wonderful memory and is filled with joy!
This past year I have been participating in an online art class “Soul Art” ..... I have been doing body mappings which are 6 ft by 5 ft. While I am in the process of painting each one over a few months; I spend a lot of time on the board dancing in front of my big art piece. It is a fantastic way to embody my art piece; and brings me to new levels of awareness, letting go, and moving through painful emotions.
Hope you, your family and staff are well and safe these days. Sure, using the board is great for everyone lowering their anxiety in times like this.
