I Walked The Line - Gait for Wild Human Potential #Gait #Feldenkrais #Acupuncture
|
Personally - Each day, as I "walked the line", I became more aligned, within myself. I noticed my stance narrowing,opening my midline, broadening my awareness, gently softening myself to the world.... |
Professionally -
As an acupuncturist and craniosacral therapist I have learned to feel restrictions in my clients lying on the table....during the class, I learned to see those restrictions and how they affect movement and gait...I gained an appreciation of how structural balancing and aligning leads to greater vitality and self expression...balancing the qi, revitalizing the life force energy, opening the midline to the breath of life.
Integrating -
I could feel/see how the VPLH is directly related to the Kidney meridian - starting at K 1, the roman sandle,the first point of the meridian, and moving up the medial aspect of the leg to the dantien, and all that it holds, before moving on and expressing outward to the rest of the body - there's a lot more to that story...
