Draw up the Golden Thread - Habit of the Week - HOW

This week our homework is to draw up an imaginary golden thread.  This thread runs from the earth beneath our feet up through our body into the neck and the crown of the head. The idea is taken from the discipline of Tai Chi.

When we pull up on the golden thread, our spine and neck automatically lengthen, but our shoulders and limbs stay relaxed - like a beautifully draped garment on a coat hanger.    This lengthening helps to line us up straight and gives more room for our organs.  It makes good posture AND breathing easier.

Habit of the Week draw up your Golden Thread.  Like all the habits, practice this 100 times per day - In other words,  whenever you think of it. By the end of the week you will have trained your postural muscles into a better position.  It will feel natural.
