Awareness Through Movement #502

Walking and crawling - TIMING

Last night was the introduction to a short series on walking, and tonight, Moshe gives hint as to the depth of his knowledge on the subject:

“For those who are interested,
you might find in literature how human walking developed
because these movements we are doing are movements like alligators,
like all living things that came out of the ocean onto land.
They are in our movements,
in the movements of the arms.
A hundred million years ago
when our forefathers in evolution were in water,
they swam like this.
We walk like an alligator.
We walk like a lizard.
Not everyone walks like this.
The movements we are doing are movements of swimming,
of animals in water.
You see, the movements of our arms and body remained in the old brain.
Without knowing,
we do exactly the same thing.
It is necessary for our body.

This is how our system developed.”

By the end of the series perhaps we will have a stronger appreciation of this movement we do daily.
