Ribbons 2 - The Ribbons Pull You
Variations on the “Ribbons and Gentle Fingers” as taught by Alan Questel, GCFT®
Pin on a rainbow of ribbons and let the maypole dance you
This time the ribbons of the maypole pull you. Pin on a rainbow of ribbons - on your heart, your upper back, your belly button and tailbone - and let the maypole guide you. The turning pole opens your chest and belly. And in your imagination, you tie some of the ribbons together to find connections from front and back, up and down.
Align the optimal breath pattern to match the movement of pole - with ease. Sense twinges of tension with the Voice-o-meter - Tra La, It’s May, The Lusty Month of May! And the healing sounds. (Download the “Healing Sounds” chart here.) Experience the movement on your back and side for different pulls of gravity.
