Sharon Friedman – Vigilance and Tranquility

A good drill to gain some freedom is to learn to move each finger seperatly. This is fun and can happen aywhere. Through relaxation learn to bend and extend each finger without tension in the others. Learn to play with a few coins and move  them in your palm one over the other and over the knuckles. You can use th chineese balls (metal balls) to move around in your hand is various ways and so on. Another option that may not always present itself is to do the same with your toes. The whole balance of the body lies in the feet so before you start to play with the toes play with the balance in the feet. Sway and see how and where the balance point go. If you are careful you can sense how the mass shifts from the simple move of the eye balls. This is one way to gain awareness to your movement. You can do it in a suit at work too. Not all work is sweat. The purpose is what matters.
