LET YOUR BELLY OUT!

the second commandment that will help you become and stay grounded:

LET YOUR BELLY OUT!

wait, what??

I understand that it probably violates your image of correct posture and good appearance.

You have been BRAINWASHED with the dictum for proper bearing: “belly in, chest out, shoulders up.”

Perhaps this bearing is proper for a soldier who must function like an automaton, but it is the epitome of RIGIDITY.

IT DENIES A PERSON AUTONOMY, SPONTANEITY, AND SEXUALITY.

The sucked-in belly makes abdominal breathing very difficult and forces one to over-inflate the chest to get enough air.

By holding your belly in and your shoulders up, you are using a lot of energy to fight your basic animal nature. And you will not succeed, although YOU WILL TIRE YOURSELF.

The sucked-in belly cuts off all sexual feelings in the pelvis, those lovely melting sensations which transform sex from mere performance and release into an expression of love.

it cuts your sense of GROUNDING, cuts you from the lower part of your body, from earth, from reality!

What do you say? do you dare to let your bely out and bring more aliveness, yummy sexual sensations and sense of grounding to your life?

Here you have a SIMPLE EXERCISE that will help you to train this habit.

The purpose of this exercise is to enable you to sense the tensions in the lower part of the body and to expand the ability to breath in to your belly:

* Stand with your feet about 8" apart and as straight as possible.

* Bend the knees slightly. Without raising the heels from the floor, lean forward so that the weight of your body is on the balls of the feet.

* Keep your body straight but not stiff.

* Now let the belly (lower abdomen) out as far as it will go.

* Breathe easily for one minute.

.

* Can you let your belly out?

* Does it stay out or do you find that it gets pulled in again?

* Does this posture make you feel “sloppy” or “let down”?

* Do your legs feel shaky? Are you afraid they won’t hold you up?

* Do your breathing movements extend into the lower abdomen?

* Are you breathing into your belly?

Are you taking this amazing habit with you?
