Self Inquiry

Try this simple Awareness Through Movement® lesson.

 Repeat steps 4 to 6 times slowly with 20% of your usual effort and try not to strain.

  • Sit forward on your chair, knees bent with feet

            flat under, hip width apart.

  • Gently turn head to the left, pick out visual

            marker to go back to.

  • Gently turn your head to the right. Again look

           for a mark to reference back to.

  • Face forward, begin rocking side to side on your

sit bones. Pick up one sit bone, shift the weight

            to the other and back again.

  • Once or twice lift the right sit bone together

            with bringing the right shoulder closer together

            to the right hip.

  • Alternate and bring the left shoulder closer

            to the left sit bone as you lift it bringing them

            closer together.

Pause and go back to just turning your head to the left.

Pause and turn you head gently to the right.

  • Face forward place right hand on left shoulder,

            left hand on your right shoulder. Turn right shoulder

            back to the right and allow your left shoulder to

            come forward. Repeat 4 to 6 times. ~Pause

  • Place hands on your shoulders again changing

            which arm is on top.

  • Turn and take your left shoulder back to the

            left. Repeat 4 to 6 times. ~Pause

Take a moment and sense yourself in sitting now.
