“Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thank you my friends in advance for your book or kindle purchase as well as your steadily coming Amazing reviews… I REALLY appreciate and forever grateful, my early Pioneeresses, is that a word? Well it is now! Ha.
I understand some of these ques, and images are new to you, remember, we are training the ‘inner core’, accessing a different part of your brain, all better explained in my book.
Here’s part of chapter 7, I want to share with you:
Sit at your desk, sit by the sea,
Sit Well wherever, which sits well with me!
Sit on a stump, pick up your key, bend over, do laundry, get down on one knee,
Stay mindful, mind your movement, and thy mood with thee,
Stay on track my friends, and watch life change exponentially!
I teach an inner core class at Torrance Memorial Hospital for the community. On occasion, I am interviewed for the hospital’s magazine, called The Pulse, or asked to speak at local businesses.
A few weeks ago, the physical therapist who was scheduled to speak at the home office of Pentel Corp. for the executives during lunch wasn’t available, so they asked if I was interested in subbing. “Sure,” I said. My contact loved the title and assured me they couldn’t wait for the presentation “How to Avoid the Desk Sentence.”
During lunch, the first question I asked was, “How many of you feel pain between the shoulder blades, neck, low back from sitting at your desk all day?”
Out of 15 lunchtime executives, 10 raised their hands. The presentation was halfway over and I noticed a few people changing postures.
Others even noticed that one of the executives looked thinner and taller. They commented to him. He had no idea that his posture was any different, especially since he was eating lunch.
His grin became as wide as can be!
A lot of people sit at their desk with what we call space bar thumbs.
They take their eyes and their thumbs and they move into the computer. It’s stressful; you’re not burning any calories and it makes your boobs all droopy.
You don’t want to be stiff, you want to be stacked.
We are going to set our arms up with the energy going down from the shoulder to the elbow and out the ring finger, not the thumb, to have more comfort at work and less pain between your shoulder blades.
Sit at your desk on your Sitz bones, Toilet Plunger Feet underneath the knees, stacked like a Snowman in alignment with space. Tootsie Pop Head and set your eyes back inside your skull.
Ribs maintain a soft downward exhalation position, Sunset, Hangar, and allow your elbows to drop at the side. Activated the Reed.
The strongest alignment of the spine goes through your ring finger. When you lift your arms up, you’re going to lift them up by the ring finger instead of the thumb. First, let your elbows hang like there’s a little weight on them and lift your ring finger up first.
To maintain alignment pretend you’re typing like an old-fashioned secretary from the 60s without a keyboard, to get the feeling of your ring finger pumping up and down, keep your elbows hanging.
When you type, your thumbs are positioned on the space bar and your typing is coming from the ring finger.
WRONG!
RIGHT!
