Last week I started stretching and splitting again. The human body - TopicsExpress



          

Last week I started stretching and splitting again. The human body absolutely amazes and fascinates me and stretching is just another way for me to have fun in and with my own temple... Stretching/splitting really is embarking on an intimate journey with your own body. Meeting (your own) boundaries and limitations (one of the scariest things in life - for me), getting to know how the body/your body works, learning that practice makes progress - not perfection, experiencing that progress is not a linear road anyway, and more of that deep enlightening stuff. So far the most interesting thing Ive discovered is that stretching doesnt actually make us more flexible physically, but mentally. By (gently!) exploring your edges you get familiar with them and you can take baby steps outside of your comfort zone and experience greater freedom. Now if that isnt a beautiful metaphor for this thing called life I dont know what is. To me, greater freedom in my body definitely means feeling more freedom overall
