Draw up your Golden Thread - Habit of the Week

This habit comes from Tai Chi.  When you prepare for tai chi practise you pull upwards through an imaginary thread.  This thread goes from soles of your feet through your spine and up through the crown of the head.  When you pull upwards, it helps with every part of your posture, especially the alignment of your head.

There is two important considerations.  While drawing up through the centre, it is important to also remember the relaxation of Tai Chi.  When we are tense, the flow of energy is blocked. So let's draw up while relaxing the shoulder girdle.  Let those shoulders relax down the back.  And relax the pelvic girdle and let the tail bone sink or drop down just a centimetre, as if you were perched on a high seat.
This weeks habit, draw up your golden thread.
