What compromises our spaciousness is always our divisions: they are the source of the effort and struggle that bind our subtle energies in neglect and self-conflict. They represent our choice not to integrate our experience. As you detect those consolidations and consciously ease them into relationship with the core of your being, you reclaim the spaciousness within, so that every part of the body becomes responsive to every other part, and it moves as a mind-suffused unity: every breath is then a whole-bodied breath; every tilt of the head ripples up through the spine; every lift of an arm is supported by the floating, responsive hips... - New Self New World, pg. 295 Tension and restriction in the body is a sign that you are resisting something in your own consciousness--every restriction in your being is a sign that something needs to be integrated. What are some methods to help integrate these blockages we might feel? How might we loosen up the stiffness, resolve inner conflicts, and return to a fluid effortless presence? Meditation and yoga are both great for this. This also happens to be one of the main focuses of the exercises that Philip Shepherd will be leading!
