Reinstate your quest of body fluidity if you love your posture…

Have you ever found yourself wrestling with aggressive thoughts, compelled to maintain an outward demeanor of calmness while internally grappling with a turbulent scenario? This internal struggle often manifests on a muscular level, entrenching detrimental posture dynamics within us. When faced with stress, our instinctual response is to contract muscles, a misguided attempt at gaining control of the situation that inadvertently obstructs our natural movement, creating a muscular armor that hinders free mobility.

Imagine slipping into a body suit a size too small — a tangible analogy to the constriction experienced when we unknowingly tighten our muscles. While a degree of muscle tension is essential for functionality, the issue arises when this tension transforms into a habitual practice. Over time, these accumulated muscular armors diminish the innate fluidity of our body movements.

Considering our bodies are predominantly composed of water60–70%, chronic muscular tension arising from persistent exposure to stressful events gradually erodes this fluidity. The temporary relief felt during a massage highlights the restoration of this fluidness. Through increased awareness of our muscular armors and a deliberate release of tension, we can embark on a journey to reclaim and sustain the graceful fluidity inherent to our bodies. It is a conscious effort to shed the accumulated armors and rediscover the beautiful, fluid body we were born with.

Take a pause and allow your body to move naturally. Regardless of your thoughts, emotions, culture let this unrestricted feeling accompany you for as long as possible. This practice serves to reinstate the forgotten normalcy you had as a child.

Observe your stress patterns. Strive not to stiffen yourself in those situations, and if you do, let go of that demeanor so it doesn’t linger.

In essence, the bottom line is to regain your fluidity, the gift you possessed as a child, as the reference for achieving a posture that contributes to your overall happiness.
