Momentum

Movements can liberate our thoughts!
I like to move when I talk.
Before, when recording, I’d try to hold a perfectly straight spinal posture, attempting to mirror the tireless example of my microphone stand.
Part of me believed that holding this unnaturally rigid military position would help, possibly by opening up my air ways, while improving focus and determinism.
But in truth, it was uncomfortable, as it made me clench in my less developed areas, while simultaneously, brining all physical momentum to a stand still.
As moments would pass, my tension and distraction would slowly rise, and my thoughts would lose their forward inertia.
On an impulse…
I decided to put aside the microphone stand, my unforgiving avatar of “Proper Posture”, and see how mobile freedom affected my self expression.
All of a sudden, absent of my judgemental metal ‘floor umbilicus’, I became much more “Me” than I’d been before.
Released from rigid over posturing, my natural habit of dancing while talking took over, and soon I was in full sway.
My energies were able to move freely and the creative potential of my movement lent a three dimensional reflection to my evolving thoughts. Helping them flow in appropriate directions rather than shoved into a brick wall.
By keeping an unnaturally tense posture, I had been imprisoning my body’s natural rhythms. Reducing the reflective fluidity of my unconscious mind.
It’s oxymoronic behaviour…
to hold myself in an uncomfortable physical pose – while expecting myself to act “naturally”.
By releasing my physical rigidity, allowing myself unconscious expressive movement during my tasks, I can build a reflective Momentum to accompany anything I wish to accomplish.
So… if you find yourself beginning a task – Locked in an uncomfortable spinal posture – consider finding a way to free yourself from unconscious physical imprisonment.
Even if it’s just wiggling a bit, the potential for movement can help us believe in taking the  next – correct – step.
Do your job freely my friend, unhindered by any superfluous clenching.
Enjoy!
