1. Feel your spine as you move.
Your spine's ability and mobility rests upon you using it more
consciously with your awareness instead of using it unconsciously
and not paying attention to it.
All it takes is honing in on your spine as you do a certain activity.
Notice how it feels when you move.
2. Explore with your spine in a variety of directions or angles when moving.
This useful play time will keep the feelings of aliveness radiating within yourself.
Creating difference gets your brain to move your muscles to higher levels of
function so you can maintain a comfortable back.
3. Sitting Kills.
Sitting for long periods of time causes certain muscles to remain contracted
and pulls your spine forward, backwards or sideways depending on how you sit.
4. Wake-up your spine with easy, gentle mobilizations.
All it takes is easy, gentle movements to remind your spine of its function and its
capacity to be used when you need it.
Then when you really need to use it with some leverage or force, it'll already be ready.
5. Re-build your spine's function by updating your movement software.
Just like your computer which gets a bug, gets bogged down or needs a software update.
By moving easily and consciously, you're changing the software of your muscles via
the nervous system and brain's cortex.
You'll be able to get the kinks out sooner rather than later by updating your own
internal software.
6. Floss your joints.
Your spine is a series of joints, so floss your back joints with gentle mobilizations
in a variety of angles. This will take the plaque out of your spine.
7. Check in with your breath as you move.
Hold your breath and feel what happens to your ability to move your spine. Play with
your breath consciously to add in another level of difference. This type of difference
keeps the brain and body young.
