Communication

Now that the weather is (much!) nicer, people are out and about. I don't know if you've ever noticed how people behave when they're hanging outside, but take a surreptitious look the next time you do. People are very aware that they are visible to others, particularly after such a long time being inside. Some look to make sure you're looking at them, others want to know what the hell you're looking at.


We are communicating all the time. Even when we're not speaking. There is an honesty in body language that we can get around with words. We also exchange energy with those in proximity to us, giving us a feeling of others. When we exist in the world we are exchanging with everyone we meet. Have you ever walked by someone and felt awkward? There is no particular reason to be, it's just that person feels a certain way to you.


This week we will focus on the neck/throat and shoulders. Be aware of what you're really communicating. When we practice we engage in a communication with all the disparate parts of ourselves. Notice how you move your body. What comes into your mind as you practice certain postures. Be aware of these details. As you understand yourself better you will be more honest and open in your communication with others.
