Poised For Life

to allow
a lively quiet back
to let
coherence come
avail
your self
of your own design
and fall up
to your true measure

leading bone and blood
limbs and back
expectant ear and
kindling eye
to harmonically conspire
in the pitch of your
resinous heart
that elegance unfold again
that a new dance start

The way we use ourself (the unity of our mind/body) affects our functioning.

Choosing to stop and be fully present without reactivity is key to making change.

These are non-doing conscious, new instructions to ourself to stop the unwanted, habitual patterns of tightening.

We need to stop doing the 'wrong' things to allow the 'right' things to do themselves.'

There is a certain beneficial relationship between head, neck and back that when operating benefits the whole body.

This is the recognition that our 'felt sense' and interpretation of the felt sense are not the same - The teacher encourages you to allow new, more beneficial movements to happen even when, at first, they 'feel wrong'.
