Like Yourself Better, Sit Taller

This week is about connections that uplift us.  Who doesn't want to sit up a bit taller without stress?  Who doesn't want to like themselves more?  

The front of the chest is connected to that inaccessible spot between the shoulder blades. The sternum is connected to the sacrum. Our intentions are connected to our movements. And we are connected to those who guide and support us, if only in our imaginations during this isolation.

My Feldenkrais teacher Alan Questel, who was just featured at the Feldenkrais Summit,  says learning to like ourselves better is the best reason to do Awareness Through Movement.  Alan asks:  "Who doesn't want to like themselves better?" and "Do you LIKE the way this makes you feel?"  Riiiiiggghhhttt?

And that is the focus we will bring to a lesson has meditators, spiritual groups,  computer users, kayaker and bikers, equestrians and others sitting up in surprising ease.  

This lesson calls for a firm-seated chair.  The simple imagery of a ribbon drawing the chest and pelvis out helps create openness, and the image of a gentle guiding finger introduces roundness in the back.  We eventually connect the front and back, top and bottom ribbons to guide ourselves to sit taller.  

Give yourself some time to reconnect your mind to body to explore a new (body) normal that's balanced, aware and ready to play.
