Best Price for Bellicon's Ultimate Rebounder?

http://enlightenmentdotcom.gaia.com — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 05:23:24 GMT

Someone wrote me asking me about this, and here's that dialogue:

Hi Dave,

The only distributor in this country is my friend Sylvia, who worked with the company in Switzerland before she moved to the U.S. The supply is very limited. The price is the same, whether you buy it directly from her via phone or through the Enlightenment.Com website, which is an easier option, at http://enlightenment.com/xcart/catalog/Bellicons-Ultimate-Rebounder-p-16177.html.

In answer to your question: there is no best price. I wish they were less expensive, I really do. I feel if they could be gotten down to half their current price, then millions -- and I mean millions -- of people would bounce regularly. But that may take some time.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

best,

Jordan

What if I drift away from the center of the mat?

One of you wrote to me and said that you tended to drift away from the center of the mat, and wanted to know if there was anything that could be done about that. Here is my reply:

First, I think it is in part just a matter of time. Your proprioceptive awareness will grow over time as you rebound and trust the process.

Second, without "thinking" too much (because that will mess you up), try to feel with the bottom of your bare feet (you are bouncing bare-footed, aren't you?) the differences in the tension of the mat as you move away from the center and towards the side. You are getting a lot of feedback in this manner, so if you can notice it and attune to it, that might help.

Third, every now and then I drift off too. I haven't yet actually gotten my feet tangled in springs or strings, but I certainly have stepped on them. And every once in a great while I will actually bounce myself off the mat or otherwise lose my balance and have to come off. If that's going to happen, then the key is to go with it and do it as safely as you possibly can.

A fourth possibility is for you to get a bar to hold onto while you rebound, one that slips under the feet of the rebounder and is generally for disabled folks. I would discourage that, though, because it limits your range of motion and won't encourage the develpoment of additional balance and proprioceptive awareness.
