INSIGHT

Movement Is More Than The Body

Ido Portal defines movement as an entity that crosses thoughts, emotions, and physical stillness.
He argues movement must be explored experientially, not merely conceptually.

INSIGHT

Noise Lowers Perception

Ido reframes chronic tension as "noise in the system" that reduces perception via the Weber-Fechner law.
He says lowering noise increases sensitivity to subtle signals in body, breath, and mind.

ADVICE

Attend To Tiny Sensations

Do train your attention on very fine sensations like a tiny breath or small visual point to reduce systemic noise.
Use delicate tasks (e.g., balancing a stick) to make your system more sensitive.
