Everything is Connected……

Stand up and walk around the room or through the house…..  be relaxed and loose as you can….  How easy is it to move ?......  Notice how you feel ... then stop !
Now tighten part of your body… for example, tighten your right fist.  Holding that tension, try walking again.  What happens?......
Can you swing your arms freely, or does your whole right side get stiff ? …..
Does your throat tighten too ?.....
Does your step change ?.....
And how do you feel overall ?.....
Is it possible to smile genuinely when your fist is a big knot ?.....
Try this with any other part of your body – squeeze your buttock, clench your jaw, suck in your belly… see what happens….
How we are in one part of the body can’t help but affect the rest of the body… And how we feel physically can’t help but affect how we feel emotionally…..
The power of love to change bodies is legendary, built into folklore, common sense, and everyday experience.  Love moves the flesh, it pushes matter around…… Throughout history,” tender, loving care”, has uniformly been recognized as a valuable element in healing….  Larry Dossey
