The Core Issue
Are you capable of fully relaxing?
If you were in the most comfortable position on your bed, would you feel any tension inside
your body (not from your weight on the bed)?
If you feel some tension and pain in your body or something stressful on your mind, you can’t be
fully relaxed. Even when lying down or sleeping on their bed, people are in high-tension
positions because their bodies have shifted to feel the most natural and comfortable this way.
This imbalance will continue to worsen until we start releasing more tension than we
accumulate.
When we examine humanity in the modern-day lifestyle it's no wonder why we build up so
much tension in our neck, head, spine, chest, and hips. We’re constantly stressed about
some task. We work hunched over. We eat large meals that numb our senses, make us hunch,
and weaken our core so we take shallower and more rapid breaths. Couch sitting and phone
use are posture killers. Poor sleep without proper support jeopardizes our most effortless time of
healing. We live with tension and it causes our body to shift into more imbalanced states over
time.
Many of us are imbalanced from conception, because our parents and who knows how
many previous generations never released the tension in their bodies because they never
realized or knew how.
Without having the proper information to release our bodys’ tension let alone realize it, it's clear
that this problem would continue to cycle and grow in severity.
The growing tension in our world seems to mirror the spreading tension and discomfort in our
bodies.
Following and releasing feelings of tension in your body leads to complete relaxation, full
posture restoration, and natural full breathing.
If you notice asymmetries in your body and/or have trouble sleeping on your back comfortably,
you’re likely imbalanced currently. Being aware of your weaknesses opens up room for growth.
To check your left and right balance try the following Twisting Balance Test.
Twisting Balance Test:
Comparing range of motion and flexibility between your Left and Right stances.
Left Stance:
Stand straight up with your feet even and parallel.
Shift weight to your left foot and your right toe, raising your right heel. Keeping your feet in this
stance, twist your entire body to the left and around your back as far as you can. Try to keep the
left side of your body straight upwards and put as much of your weight over your left hip as you
can.
Right stance:
Stand straight up with your feet even and parallel.
Shift weight to your right foot and your left toe, raising your left heel. Keeping your feet in this
stance, twist your entire body to the right and around your back as far as you can. Try to put as
much of your weight over your right hip as you can.
If you notice differences in your mobility, flexibility, and stability between your left and right
stance (most people should), it's almost certain that your body compensates for the felt
imbalances by shifting other parts of your body (bones, muscles, tissues, organs) out of their
balanced state. Left AIC Right BC — Most common way of Imbalance
Not all individual body parts are balanced. Our diaphragm muscles are larger on the right side,
so its easier to breathe into our right lung and accidentally overwork it.
People are living in their right stance for most of their lives which furthers their imbalance. Their
bodies shift and make it harder to get into their left stance, increasing their reliance to live in the
right stance.
Posture and Health
Improving your posture isn’t only standing more upright or opening your palate and jaw more, it
develops your entire body (bones, muscles, organs, tissues, veins, nerves, all bodily systems).
As posture improves:
Hand strength, arm and wrist angles will be more even, should feel more
ambidextrous
Breath naturally deepens, more space and more active muscles (throat and
chest), calmer, lower heart rate
More energy
