Move
Try this, sitting upright with a straight spine stretch your neck by gently lowering your right ear to your right shoulder. Now super slowly, move your head back and roll the left year over to your left shoulder. Take a deep breath and notice the tightness, the soreness, the resistance in your neck. I”m willing to bet its pretty tight in there, I know it hurts a little bit but also feels really good to give your neck a little stretch. Can you just take a moment and reflect on this? Just barely beneath your skin is muscle and tendon, nerves, and blood. And there is so much tenseness, just in a short 15 second stretch you can feel more space in your neck.
magine how much more space and ease you will experience in your life — JUST by creating more space and ease inside of your body! A few stretches and your breath deepens, your blood pressure and heart rate begin to slow. Just a little movement in your body and you have a new tool to manage stress, ward off disease, and most importantly feel really really good inside of your own skin. Sure, you can work really hard and with a lot of stress you can make a lot of money — which can buy you lots of fun experiences for your body. But the clincher comes in the form of all the stress that is stored inside of your cells, tightening and restricting easy movement through your life. Ask yourself this – is the stress that you endure so you can live a better tomorrow worth the sacrifice you are making in the moment to moment experience of your life through your own body? Our body is the vehicle in which we journey through our life”s situations, moving with ease and lightness, space and good health is one of the most efficient ways to improve your life experience dramatically. Movement is truth and, as the cliche reminds us, change is the only constant – embrace them and flow in harmony with your body.
