Neck and shoulders, how can you make them longer!

Have you even wondered why your shoulders are kissing your ears?

1 of the Move Into Life, "The Nine Essentials of Life Long Vitality" by Anat Baniel is Variation!!

Just be aware when your shoulders and ears are having this love affair and like to be close to each other.

Let us do some variations....

Start by sitting forward in your chair with your feet flat on the floor, legs comfortably spread.
Notice how you are sitting. Do you feel the pressure of your right foot on the floor the same as the left foot? Just notice. Are you sitting tall, straight or just notice how you are sitting.

In your minds eye what do you think of your spine? Is it like a stick that is there to support you? Is your spine like a pearl necklace that moves with grace and strength? Can you see the length of your spine, from your tailbone, up through to your head? Did you realize that your spine has a width? How wide can you see your spine in your minds eye? Does your spine have a depth? From front to back, how deep is your spine. Using this visualization will give you something more to think of then just your neck and shoulders. You have more of yourself in your minds eye!



Let gravity take the weight of your shoulders as they gently and slowly glide away from your ears.

Now start to bend your spine to bring your right ear to kiss your right shoulder, only go where the movement is easy and elegant, with no strain or pain, and gently leave your left shoulder move away from your left ear. Are you just bending at the small muscles and bones or your neck or can you make your spine from your tail to your head part of this movement? Then slowly bring your head back to your centre on top of your spine.

Rest and notice any changes in your sitting!

Then bend your spine to bring your left ear to kiss your left shoulder, again only go where you move easily with no strain or pain and gently let your right shoulder move away from your right ear. Is more of your spine in your thinking this time?

Rest and notice how you are sitting now.

It is by noticing small changes and miracles in your body that you can change areas in your life and your business that you get stuck!
