While sitting in a chair, cross your arms at your chest. Did you cross right over left or left over right? Whichever you did is your automatic pattern. Now cross in the other directions. Which is more comfortable? Which feels awkward or strange? Try the same thing by crossing at your ankles and knees. Do you always cross from the same direction? Clasp your hands. Does your right thumb rest on your left or vice versa? Is that crossing the same as with your legs? Now stand up. While standing, notice to which side you shift your weight. Do you tend to twist your torso always to the left or to the right? Are you doing all your crossing in life from the same direction? Achieving balance is what it’s all about… and also gives you a taste of other possibilities….
