Sharon Friedman – Vigilance and Tranquility

Stand upright and breathe. Feel your chest and stomach moving and notice how they move and in what directions throughout the action. Now slowly relax and release the tension from the top of the spine to the base of the hips letting the head and than torso curve forward and relax at the end of the breath phase. Now from the tip of the toes rise slowly letting the body find its own form according to structure and tension and relax upright. Do this several times and than do the same but backwards. This will be added to a bigger release in the knees to keep your self standing and again from the relaxed position you slowly limber yourself up letting the body find its own shape upright. Do this to the sides as well starting with a tilt of the hips and do this one to the right and one to the left and repeat. To me it gives a sense of warmth and energy. I hope you benefit aswell.
