Body Language the lesson of your shoulders 06/15/2011
Often we want to learn how to be more in touch with our bodies, or some simple lessons to teach our kids how to learn to tune in. This is a "simple-simon" set of lessons that you can use today and easily explain to others. First I want you to think about someone that you really do not like at all, a person that angers you fully. Or of a situation that fills you with sincere negative energy and anger. Got it? Ok now take a deep breath, and just focus on your shoulders. Where are they? and how do they feel? That is it, just that fast .. now take a deep breath and think about someone you love fully and completely. Or think of a place you love and feel comfortable and happy in or even a pet that you adore. Now focus on your shoulders! Where are they? and how do they feel? Here is what you will notice. When you are happier and relaxed, thinking about what you love your shoulders drop down, they relax and your posture changes. Your neck "looks longer" because your shoulders are where they belong and not tightened up. When you are feeling anger, hatred, tension - your posture changes, your shoulders come up and tighten and often tend to lean or curve forward. A natural protect you, lean in, be ready type of posture. Isn't this an easier way to follow the energy and your truth? Instead of having to know all the details you can instead stop and say wait - this is making my body react in a negative way, I need to walk away or at the very least be aware. OR Ahhh this fits! Even a three year old can do this exercise. Now the next two steps are in observations. When you are feeling that shoulder, neck, stress and tension - you now have a tool to relax that space and help you shift to solutions. No medication needed. In addition you can use this skill set to observe the body language of others - and can now shift conversations and events to help them. (http://CMP.LY/0/GoZ1zL ) CommentsLeave a Reply |
