I never took a serious amount of time to be aware of my
posture and body. I’ve felt myself slouch and try to “fix it” by simply putting
my shoulders up back and down. After reading this chapter I am more aware of
the importance of my body and how everything works together. When I used to
think about posture, I fell victim to the, “imagine there is a flat piece of
wood behind you”. Today I just tried to relax. After reading how heavy our
heads are (9-13 lbs.), I noticed that I have hard time keeping my A-O joint balanced. During
the 50 minutes, I would often fidget with head, constantly moving it from side
to side. I noticed how I would sometimes put my head too far back, especially
when I was singing, or too far forward.
While I was singing today, I saw and felt how my knees were
locking. I did have to remind myself to be buoyant and springy-like when
focusing on my knees. Moving down to my ankle and foot, I felt how I put more
weight on the heel of my foot rather than a balance between my three arches. Today
my arm structure was good. There was no stiffness in my arms basically because
I felt secure in my thorax and lumbar spine area. Actually my thorax was the
most comfortable/natural feeling today. I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary with my hip joint but I did take sometime locating (feeling) the difference between my Greater Trochanter and my hip joint.
