Can I get a video recording of the lessons instead? I'm worried I'm doing the exercises wrong without seeing them.

We understand the desire for visual aids! However, LinSublim Somatic lessons are designed to be audio-only for a specific reason. Research suggests that focusing solely on auditory instructions can actually improve your attention and sensory processing.

Here's the science behind it: Studies have shown that visual distractions can significantly hinder performance on tasks requiring touch perception (Ernst & Banks, 2002; Guest & Spence, 2003; Lederman et al., 1986) [^2]. This is because our brains prioritize information from the sense that provides the most reliable data in a given situation. In the case of LinSublim's somatic education, where precise body awareness is key, focusing on the instructor's audio guidance allows you to fully engage your sense of touch , interoception and proprioception (body awareness).

More than that, there's research that even things such as using your own voice to count down impacts sensorimotor performance.

Benefits of Audio-Only Lessons:

• Enhanced Focus: By eliminating visual distractions, you can concentrate more deeply on the instructor's instructions and the subtle sensations within your body.
• Improved Sensory Processing: Focusing on auditory cues strengthens your ability to interpret touch sensations, leading to a more profound understanding of your movements.
• Personalized Learning: The audio-only format encourages you to explore the movements based on your own body and experience, rather than copying someone else's potentially incorrect form. - You are continuously exploring, and your nervous system will eventually get to the "correct" movement.
• Sharpened Listening Skills: Actively listening to the instructions trains your brain to focus on auditory details, a valuable skill in today's visual information-overload world.

Additional Support:

While there are no video lessons, we offer alternative ways to enhance your learning:

• Ask Questions: Feel free to ask us with specific questions about any part of the lesson here on the community.
• Personalized Sessions: Consider a personalized session with a LinSublim instructor for tailored guidance.

By embracing the audio-only format, you can maximize the benefits of LinSublim's program and gain a deeper understanding of your body and movement patterns.
