Comfort of good balance.
One of my clients said today that she hadn't realised that improving her posture would help her feel more comfortable in herself. It's great to see the benefits extending beyond the obvious. But on consideration, we can see that if we're slightly off balance, as most of us are all the time, then our subconscious reflexes are reacting to prevent us from falling over. After all, gravity is working away the whole time, so in order to avoid unnecessary strain we need to be sure we're not leaning. Being off balance is alarming, so it's no wonder that we may feel threatened...all of the time. But we can get used to such a condition so we feel it as normal. We may even believe that we're naturally of a nervous disposition, but this may not be the case. Although we feel it as such, it's not natural....at least not as nature would ideally have us. It's just that our poor posture and balance are undermining us.
But by improving our balance, we can let go of many tensions that are only there to cope with the threat of falling over. it's likely then that the general physical release as a result of this is likely to benefit our breathing, so we're getting more oxygen in and toxins out of our body to a higher level. This is will be calming and therapeutic to the point we're clearer in our skin, clearer in our thinking and feeling and looking more lively.
It is definitely comforting to be in good balance.
