Sharon Friedman – Vigilance and Tranquility

A great movement I adopted and modified from a book about Russian ballet: Lie on your stomach and put your hands on the back of the neck with straight legs. Now lift up and look forward and go down. Modify by looking to either side and change the hand placement. Once this is done put your hands on the lower back and rise All the time keeping your feet on the ground and relaxed. Notice that we tend to relax against solid contact. It’s a survival reflex and a social one too. It can help or harm us as you know so developing an awareness and a way to override if need be will benefit you. Like many other things most of the solution is in the question asking.
