Step in Time: Heighten awareness


                                              Strive to maintain excellent posture

                                   By lengthening spine,relaxing shoulders and neck

                                        Ensure head is directly over center of mass

                                             When sitting,standing and walking. 



                                                   Think of the body as a building
                            
                   If a building has an unstable foundation how can the structure above be stable.

                  So, how can the feet be stable when the rest of the body above is poorly aligned.
 

                                               All movement is controlled by the brain

                                                                                                   Step in Time

Step in Time : Heighten awareness.


                           Thought and feeling co-exist in the same moment.

             Focus attention on your body as your thoughts flit in and out of your mind.
             How is your body aligned? How are you sitting right now? If standing, is
             one hip taking more pressure than the other? Are your shoulders forward and
             rounded?
           
             The brain is constantly changing as it integrates all our body systems that keep us alive
             and at the same time controls how the body moves in compliance with our thoughts.

            When good posture is attained and maintained then most of our everyday aches and
             pains are kept at bay. Our body is comfortable.

An old Chinese saying:   Old age starts in the feet.
