Awareness Through Movement #200

Twisting the spine by sinking the lower legs - ROTATION

Another classic Feldy lesson tonight with twists and turns that give us a lot of room to examine the HOW we move… comparing one side with the other.

“Check whether you feel changes from what we did until now. If you paid attention, you might have noticed that the movement of the knees in all four positions was such that it abolished the twist in the spine created by the movement of the head, by the turning of the head to one side. If we turned the head to the left — which means placing the right ear on the floor or the hands — the feet will move to the right. The spine was straight, without a twist, when the feet touched the floor. The movement of the legs was such that it abolished the twist that you made with the head.”

let’s twist :)

Moshe also says:

Pay attention to the difference. It is different because, with most people, the twisting of the body to one side when compared to the other is not equal. Very often we use our bodies more on one side than the other and wonder why our back, or our shoulders, pelvis, legs, knees, ankles starts to hurt.”

PERHAPS, maybe, what if… when pain arrives it’s our bodies saying…
please, do the other side, twist the other way too... and balance me out!
