From Habit Stacking to Head Stacking to Tall Standing

All week long, I have been trying to stack my "head block" directly over my "body block".
You already know what that means. If we imagine our body is composed of a stack of blocks. Our feet block at the base, our leg blocks are stacked on top of our feet, etc all the way up to our head being right on top of our shoulders.

This week, I have noticed that when I concentrate on something, my head tips forward. So, when I notice that, I try to straighten up, especially on my morning walk.

A good trick 

Meanwhile at the computer, in order to switch on the core muscles of my neck, I imagine that I am carrying a small heavy pillow right on top of my head.  I push upwards against that load.  This action lengthens my neck and switches on the deep muscles that safely stabilize. This means I can effortlessly carry my head around in the correct alignment AND with my neck "long at the back" and chin angled slightly down - it is goodbye to neck and shoulder pain.
