Awareness Through Movement #407

Heel in the hand – DEEPENING AWARENESS

a depiction of the feeling after this lesson!

I asked Grok for a before and after this lesson, it returned with:

Before:
People might feel disconnected,
with uneven pressure points in their bodies
(e.g., tailbone or ribs pressing harder into the floor).

After:
The lesson’s emphasis on sensing weight and length against the ground
could enhance proprioception, leading to a more uniform distribution of body weight.
The torso might feel wider across the shoulders
and more anchored through the pelvis,
with a heightened awareness of the skeletal chain from tailbone to crown.

The focus on stomach movement with breath
(lifting beneath the navel on inhalation, lowering on exhalation)
could relax the diaphragm and intercostal muscles,
expanding the ribs.”

the small muscles, woven between each of the ribs… when more space is created between these bones, then the lungs can more easily accept oxygen and expel carbon dioxide… to more efficiently do what we call…. “breathing”

During this lesson you might notice deeper,
more effortless breathing,
with the ribs feeling more mobile and less "stuck,"
particularly on the sides where the torso is twisted.

I have no idea what this image is… and I LOVE IT!!

Enjoy learning more about your Self,
how you move through space.. and,

develop a stronger appreciation for the human body
and all it entails…
all of its entrails??
