CONGRATULATIONS! YES!

Posted by Betty on Monday, August 2, 2021, In : Betty's Blogs 
I'm pleased to announce that my book, IN SEARCH OF SOMATIC THERAPY (Savant 2017) by Setsuko Tsuchiya recently received an honorable mention in the 2021 New York Book Festival! Thank you, New York for your kind support. I am now busy writing THE POWER OF DANCE which focuses on one part, dance, in IN SEARCH OF SOMATIC THERAPY. 



My publisher says I am now "an award-winning author" and my book is an official "award-winning book!"

A NEUROBIOLOGY OF...? 神経生物学とは...?

Posted by Betty on Sunday, February 28, 2021, In : Betty's Blogs 
When I began studying the body, I joined the Neurobiological Learning Society (https://neurobiologicallearningsociety.yolasite.com). I met world experts in different aspects of neurobiology including dance. I learned many theories about how the body learns, including the neurobiological foundations of my master's degree in somatic therapy. 

What exactly is neurobiology? 

"-Ology" means the study of. "Bio" means living things. "Neuro"mean s nervous system. While one can study living things from ...

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

Posted by Betty on Tuesday, January 19, 2021, In : Betty's Blogs 
Happy New Year! It is already the middle of January. Even though I stay home every day, time flies.

My husband and I have been searching for a TV program that we both enjoy to watch in the evenings. Like going to a movie theater for a date. In this case, a COVID "home" date together. 

The Amazon Prime movie we selected is called, "ATLANTIS." 

When we started to watch, a character announced that his name was Pythagoras. His friend was Hercules, and the main character was Jason. This episode was a...

DANCESPORT GOES ONLINE

Posted by Dan on Monday, May 18, 2020, In : Dan's Blogs 
DanceSport lessons have been offered online for almost a decade; now it looks like DanceSport Competitions may go online, too!  Makes sense, as all major gatherings around the world are still basically cancelled or, for health reasons, not recommended to participate in or attend. 


The venue will probably be something like this: Either register and (1) perform "live" via videocam and be "judged" via the traditional skating system; or (2) make a digital recording meeting the new "online competit...

EXERCISING DURING A "LOCKDOWN" (外出禁止令中の運動)

Posted by Betty on Monday, April 27, 2020, In : Betty's Blogs 
I expect that in the coming years we will be experiencing additional epidemics/pandemics and lockdowns, so, if you're "stuck at home" and are bored with nothing to do, may I suggest this:  Japan's children are introduced to exercise before they start school. They perform basic active range of motion movements for toning and suppleness.


Later, as "radio calesthenics" to popular music, they were broadcast for adults to use in the mornings. They are not designed to increase cardiovascular reserv...

ANOTHER WAY...

Posted by Betty on Sunday, May 26, 2019, In : somatic therapy 
When I woke up this morning, I suddenly had a new idea about somatic therapy.

When I am frustrated, irritable or in a bad mood, I have begun going to a gym and moving or do exercising, rather than just talking with someone. This action supports my theory of somatic therapy (emphasizing first correcting the body with the mind following - Dr. Wilhelm Reich's version) verses somatic therapy (which, being largely regarded as a form of psychology, emphasizes correcting the mind through talking with...

TIMING, TEMPO AND RHYTHM

Posted by Betty on Thursday, January 10, 2019, In : Betty's Blogs 
My husband (and dance partner) and I talked about how to explain rumba today. Our instructor, Mr. Albert Franz, always said what made a dance particular was foot position, rise and fall, sway, contra body (Modern or Standard Ballroom) or Cuban motion (Latin), timing and rhythm, direction/allignment, turn, footwork, and finally, precede/follows, but it is timing and rhythm that seems to give the biggest problem and cause the most confusion in dancers. In my book, IN SEARCH OF SOMATIC THERAPY (...

REAL SOMATIC THERAPY!

Posted by Betty (Setsuko Tsuchiya) on Monday, January 7, 2019, In : Betty's Blogs 
Happy New Year!

It is already Jan. 6th. Time goes so fast.

My husband and I went to Hawaii Kai Retirement Center to host a monthly dance. It's strictly volunteer, and I love it!

This is the first event of 2019. We hold it on the first Sunday of every month. This month was New Year's Party!

From 6:00 pm, retirement center residents gathered at "The Ice Cream Parlor" in the Center next to the dining room in Phase Two. We danced to Glen Miller's music for 20 minutes, then we did a Tango performance,...

More ENGLISH! もっともっと英語を!

Posted by Betty on Monday, October 1, 2018, In : Betty's Blogs 
今、彼のブログを日本語に訳したんだけど、すごい時間を要して疲れた!と同時に、もっと英語、勉強しなきゃあ!って思った。

英語での本を出版してから、英語トラウマと、仕事柄、日本語が多い!そして日本語での日々の生活が多くなった。
だから、必然的に、脳みそは日本語。寂しい!!

時々、日本語での夢をみたあさは、あっ!日本語の夢だった!とちょっと...

RENEWING THIS BLOG. AGAIN.

Posted by Betty on Saturday, October 28, 2017, In : Betty's Blogs 
Aloha. Recently, I have been thinking of renewing my life and this blog. When I read my last blog entry, I was so busy finishing my master's degree in somatic therapy and publishing my book, IN SEARCH OF SOMATIC THERAPY (Savant 2017), I couldn't find time to continue blogging, and I was afraid I'd have to end Futari Blog. Gladly, I have now finished my master's degree (yay!) and had my book published (double yay!), and now have time and interest. In fact, I've entirely changed my thinking abo...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Posted by Betty on Wednesday, January 14, 2015, In : Betty's Blogs 
Happy New Year!!

It has been so busy a new year.  I went to work on New Year's Day.  After working, Dan and I attended my editor's wedding in the evening on January second (my editor, David, is editing my upcoming book, IN SEARCH OF SOMATIC THERAPY).  The weather was heavy with rain but the wedding had so many people and was a very relaxed ceremony.

It has been three years since Dan injured his knee and his doctor said to forget about dancing. He recommended surgery and said he had a 75% chance...

PLAY!!

Posted by Betty and Dan on Saturday, July 20, 2013,
Aloha!
My husband  asked me that why and how people play.  I said, what? I didn't know what to reply. He asked me another way how to play. How to play, I wondered?  Do you play alone? he asked this time.

I said that people play with other people, not alone.  For example, a husband and a wife go to someplace together and hold hands. That means when people play they often like touch, skin-to-skin, that is like somatic therapy (my definition of somatic therapy involves breathing and touch).

When pe...
