Balance Body and Mind – how to do it!

Take ONE minute to bring yourself into physiological balance by sitting or standing as straight and tall as you can.

Straighten up through your mid-line and let your attention start at the top of your head and gently melt down through your spine to your tailbone. Are both shoulders as level as they can be? Look in a mirror to check the symmetry across your shoulders and collarbones.

Shift your body a little to bring balance to either side of your spine. Notice how it feels to tilt one shoulder or hip, and then re-balance.

Scan through your body for areas of softness and comfort, and rest in there for some moments.

Now shift attention to each of the following body parts in this order: head, shoulders, arms, hands, ribcage, spine, hips, thighs, knees, lower legs, ankles, feet.

Once balanced, your whole body and mind will work better.

Balancing your body helps you improve your emotional state, learning capability, and energy levels.
