Once has accident or operation, body awareness tends to be lost at that part of body. For me it’s left side. Left side is just quiet.
Right side is chatty and strong, works hard, compensates for left side.
Body is twisted. Center is lost.
Like a couple
Strong person wants go quickly, efficiently, more than weak person’s ability.
Strong person frustrates and pull. The more being pulled, the less weak person goes.
Couple can spilt, but the body not.
Strong side need to be gentle, wait and response to behalf.
Ba aware the left side
Find the strength.
Start moving from there.
Breath in. Watch.
Breath out. Go a bit further.
Gently move right side
as a response to left side.
Enough.
Breath into both side
Feel the whole body.
Body show the space to go further.
Be as a whole.
Sit in my balcony. Take off the glasses. Look the Sunset.
I’m shortsighted, don’t see detail. But who see the detail of sky completely?
Everyone’s sight is limited.
Leave the glasses. Then my sight has no frame, no limitation.
Feel the sky as it is. No word is needed.
Feel the vibration with eyes, ears skin, with inner body.
Feel the vast space, above, front, side, behind, bellow and the tiny space I occupy.
All existence is vibration.
Sun set vibration penetrate though this pace in this moment.
Space is one. Existence is eternal.
Practice yoga with feeling touches at one place, spread to the end of body.
The body adjusts itself. Suddenly I realize it is right. But what is this? ‘I’ didn’t do it.
A Rolfer taught me what the body does.
Body has intelligence. Not mind. Body can even release the pain autonomously.
‘Not focus on the pain, but aware ‘the comfort’ has potential to adjust and release’.
1. In quiet comfortable place, lay down or sit in relaxing posture with feet on floor, feeling being supported.
Breath deeply. Look around the surroundings, room interior, decorations and outside view with gentle eye movements.
Be aware the space where we are.
2. Having been settled, leave the pain as a second step, but turn the mind inwards-inside of body. Search ‘the comfort’ such as ‘the most relaxing feeling’ or ‘the energetic feeling place’.
For example it might be the release at the back being enveloped by cushions, the warmth at the thigh and palms or the supported feeling by the seat at buttocks.
3. Aware, taste these existing ‘comfort’ and observe the transition in inner body.
Transition might happen at the place rerates to the pain place, or not relates.
Or nothing happens, which is also all right. Feel ‘nothing happens’.
Through awareness in inner body if autonomous adjustment happens, just observe as it is. It might be,,,
-breath goes deeply
-warmth or relaxed feeling is extending
-tightness in somewhere is released
-find tension in somewhere
-spine extends,,,,etc
4. Imagine the line surrounds the pain place.
5. Aware there is no pain at the outside of the line. Feel ‘the no-painness’ with ‘the comfort’ together. Together is the most important point.
6. If there is any transition at quality of pain, shape or place, repeat 2-5.
If the pain increases, stop immediately and turn the mind outwards. Look surroundings, outside view as a reset the mind. Breath deeply.
7. Until here if any shake or involuntary movement, warmth, breathing change happens, it is releasing from chronic tension. Just observe as it is.
Don’t ‘help’ the autonomous transition for promote more than natural body reply. If the movement doesn’t stop, it means we ‘help’, chase and interfere the transition. Be aware our hastiness. Let it go.
8. If the transition happens and the new ‘comfort’ appears, observe it. Next transition might happens.
However don’t try to reduce all the pain in one time. That idea creates unnecessary tension.
9.When we finish, turn the mind outwards, look outside space, surroundings and people with feeling ‘comfort’ and ‘no-painness’ together.
notes
As beginning try in the duration about 15-30 min, not more than 45 min. Try again after rest for a while.
Better to do with eye opened for keeping the connection with outside world.
If the pain increases, stop immediately. Turn the mind outwards. Look outside. Walk. Breath slowly and deeply.
Will you give a chance to your body?
Namaste Mr. Kotaro Ogiya
A young girl are smiling in a photo.
She looks cute and sexy, needs your help, ready to care you, will depends you, will love you. It’s an Asian created image as a ‘beloved girl’.
Girl is weak, need protector, must sacrifice herself as represent of her ‘love’.
Do I want to be a beloved girl? No.
We come alone and leave alone. No one walk together all the way.
Time comes, others leave. Let them go. Even ourselves.
Walk together with someone, still we can’t stand in same time and place.
Our views are not same. directions are not same.
If we let go own view, without other’s view we lost.
With fear of lost, we lost direction, ourselves.
Keep own view. Head own direction. Still we find someone walking side by side.
That is only a moment as grace. It is precious.
Namaste my friends
