Posture
Posture . Most of us suffer from bad posture . This can be caused simply by sitting . We do lead
sedentary lives. Sitting at work, driving , watching TV and logging onto social media. Over a period of time
poor posture causes joint problems and can be painful.
We can change this by adjusting our posture and realigning neck , spine, hips and pelvis quite easily.
This will quickly take pressure off the joints and allow the body to relax, we can then move naturally .
This diagram below shows the beginning stage .
- Poor alignment due to weak posture .
- Gravity is exerting a natural force downward and the body is struggling to keep balance .
- This causes stress so the joints are under pressure.
- The body compensates because we feel pain in our back legs or shoulders and we adopt a poor posture .
Practicing good posture while doing Taichi Qigong Shibashi will align the body and the cure aches pains
we all experience .
- Legs become stronger
- We become balanced because we lower our centre of gravity, we are no longer top heavy.
- We are grounded. Simply the body is in harmony with the forces of nature (gravity.)
- We move more naturally .
We have adjusted our posture , this allows us to breathe from the abdomen.
Abdominal breathing and body alignment are fundamental to Qigong and your health and well being.
Students say that practicing Shibashi helps and cures physical aches and pains !
