Step in Time: Heighten your own awareness

Everyday aches and pains often arise because joints are incorrectly aligned.

If knees and feet are not pointing in the same direction the body is moving when walking on flat level ground, then there is a problem.

Often it is simply a twist in the knees which are very common and occurs when changing direction is done incorrectly.

This happens because often there is a total lack of awareness of how our body changes direction.

Heighten your awareness of how you move.

Remember thought and feeling occur in the same moment.

Step in time.

Step in Time: Heighten your own awareness

Are aches,stiffness and pains a constant companion?

If so, this is your brain making you aware that within your habits and routines there are movements occurring that are creating postural imbalances,leading to muscles being damaged and joints misaligned.

Strive to consistently improve posture when sitting standing and walking.

Prevention is always better than cure.

Step in Time: Heighten awareness

Our body is a mass of different diameter tubes. When our body is incorrectly aligned for long periods of time, e.g. sitting for hours in front of computer screens or a tv with poor posture.

Then kinks will occur that impair blood flow and nerve pathways, resulting in stiffness, numbness,aches, pins and needles sensations.

Always be mindful of the fact we are NOT thinking creatures that can feel.

We are feeling creatures that can think.

This is a quote from Gill Bolte Taylor's book 'My Stroke of Insight'. Worth a read.

As soon as there is a sensation of some form of discomfort then move for a few minutes, then blood will flow with greater ease.

Excellent blood flow is essential for a healthy body.

Focus on prevention

The brain and the spine together form the Central Nervous System

How can the Central Nervous System work efficiently when the spine is constantly or frequently poorly aligned?

It simply cannot be working at it's optimum.

Focus  on maintaining good posture.

Sit correctly!!!!!!!!

Step in Time : Heighten Awareness

                         

The brain controls all movement.

The brain and the body are always functioning in the present moment in time.

The mind is rarely in the present moment for long yet the mind is totally dominant because thoughts 

control every movement.

How can the feet function correctly when the body is incorrectly aligned.

Focus thoughts on striving to attain and maintain 

EXCELLENT POSTURE

                          A synovial joint can be in one of only three places or in transition

                                                          between them.

                                          Hyper-mobile  -    Too much movement

                                               Mobile       -     Normal

                                          Hypo-mobile  -     Too little movement

                        It is the latter that causes most of our everyday aches and pains.

                        Often it is poor posture that is the precursor to becoming hypo-mobile,

                        leading to impaired muscle function as muscles work to move joints that 

                        are gradually seizing up.

                                            

Strive to  maintain good posture
