"Emotions posture us" Juli May

Emotions, or energy in motion needs neutral muscles to work safely with. Intuitively emotional flow will activate muscles to pull our bones into a certain alignment, readying us for the situation at hand, adjusting our center of gravity for the correct propulsion (strength and speed) to get us through this experience.

If we imagine for a moment that all our aspects and systems are dynamically integrated and freely flowing, we can imagine this as our neutral state.

In neutral, all our being is available to be called upon as our nervous system flows between energies. Our nervous system is acting on information gathered by our innate intelligence, which is able to consider all variables, our internal state, the external environment and what is coming in our future.

This is intuition and our survival instinct, and the messages come as physical actions postured by our emotions. These postures are what we can physically feel, if we are paying attention, if we are in neutral.

With a little compassion, remember; allowing your emotions free reign does not lead to untoward behaviour, it actually stops the rebellious and desperate actions that explode from restricted emotional flow caused by subconscious muscle tension. So in a perfect world the following is relevant.

Let us start with the enjoyable. The delicious survival-of-our-species aspect of being alive.

Women, when we recognise a man suitable for breeding (survival of our species), our body will soften and blossom. We enjoy a subtle lift of our chest, a firming of our breast tissues, this forward swelling is balanced and grounded by a lengthening of the lower back. As our lower back sinks earthward it releases the back of our neck. As the neck lengthens, space is made for our eyes to sink a little deeper, drawing this beautiful being in. When our back lengthens, softening, sinking to the earth, we feel a greater undulation of the spine as it rides the wave of our increased breath, the pulse of which has responded to this situation, increasing circulation to the base of the spine. Our legs will be hip width apart, and the pelvis will be rocking a little more atop the thigh bones. Our petals will be softly pulsing, gently opening and closing, ready for the hummingbird to seek our nectar.

Now to write for another…

Men, on seeing a blossoming woman, a proudness fills your ribs, pushing your shoulders out so they drop heavily toward earth, balanced and enhanced in their movement by your soft full back riding the wave of your breath. As your spine undulates, pumped by the deeper speed of a breath ensuring full circulation of blood and nervous system energy into the pelvis. As your belly softens and swells forward, you become a place of comfort for when your arms pull someone close. Together you match a natural rhythm in the freedom of your pelvis rocking atop your thigh bones. This rhythm will be nourished by your soft, full, pulsing belly, your undulating spine, and as the speed and need increases this ensures strong circulation to balloon into the base of the pelvis, swelling effortlessly, you are ready.

For todays world… our innate intelligence is always considering all variables, which means the culture and time we live in will impact how we experience the above, whether action is taken. And if action is not going to be taken, the full circulation means this energy will be absorbed back into the full body, effortlessly, with no lingering or desperate requirement to fulfil a need... also I am clearly not a romance writer...

The above would be a balanced, physically stable persons experience, and with physical stability comes mental-emotional-spiritual stability.

We do not need to act from this state, it may not be appropriate to do so for all sorts of reasons, but to feel how you are posturing is what allows you to stay present. Judgement free observation of yourself, means you do not lose yourself to any situation, and no on can control you.

Judgement free observation also informs your nervous system that the energy shift is no longer needed, which means the posture will be released, and your circulation will return to full and complete.

In this way you have honoured yourself, you have honoured the people who are involved with you, and you are acting from a vibration of self respect and love.

This is how our body should be moved by any emotions, postured to affect change in the circulation, to fuel the organ systems that are required to get through this moment.

If the energy is not required, our perception is not matching our reality, all we need to do is observe our breath, without judgement, and this is enough for the posture to be released, and the emotion will move on to the next.
