Dear Friend of the Dimon Institute,
This week, we’re bringing you new ways to engage and explore awareness in activity. See below for details about our live discussion on Facebook!
1. New Insight | PNR: A New Model of the Musculoskeletal System
Now live on our website, this inaugural Insight breaks down the foundational principles of the Postural Neuromuscular Reflex (PNR) system — an essential model for understanding the body’s natural design. Whether you're new to these ideas or revisiting them, this piece offers clarity and depth. Read it here.
2. New Podcast | Episode Awareness in Action — Beyond Mindfulness
In this compelling episode of The Awareness Connection, Dr. Ted Dimon and James French explore a crucial distinction: the difference between mindfulness while refraining from activity and active mindfulness during activity.
Key discussion points:
Noticing habits: the critical shift from mindfulness to having consciousness in action
What comes first: change as foundational to awareness, rather than becoming aware to make change
Our inner messaging: how we subconsciously tell our muscles to tighten
Join the live discussion: Ted and James will delve deeper into these ideas in our Facebook group on Thursday, April 3rd, at 3:00 PM ET.
3. New Audiobook | Anatomy of the Voice — Coming May 20th
The comprehensive book on vocal anatomy and mechanics is now being released as an audiobook, narrated by Max Newland. Pre-orders are open!
We hope these resources inspire you to continue exploring movement, awareness, and the voice. Thank you for being part of this journey!
Warm regards,
Ted Dimon
Director
The Dimon Institute
