Your Body Knows What It Needs

We are stiff and breathless 
Everyday we sacrifice our body 
to the exploits of the mind and work
Let us relax and let our muscles soften
from the holding pattern

Simple movements clear away the mental clutter
help you to feel more present 
in the here and now
More relaxed
more peaceful and lighter
Creaky bones moisten into languid expressions
small breaths get deeper
Your body knows what it needs
 
Excerpts from 'The Art of Dance as a Spiritual Practice' by Cynthia Winton - Henry
