Hey folks, today’s exercise does not yet have a video. You will have to wait or make one for yourself.
The exercise seems very simple, but will offer you profound and subtle results. Remember, as usual, your results are your results. I am not here to preordain them for you, nor am I here to tell you what they should be. Leave that up to……well…..just do the exercise and get your results. Take note and move forward.
What the hell is this exercise good for, you might ask? Well, try it out to see for yourself. If you are not yet at a stage where your life has become a Grand Experiment, made up of lots of little experiments, this site holds very little for you, I would imagine, beyond giving a jolt here and there to inspire some creative exploration. But, if your life has become the Grand Experiment I know it to be, you will already know that the best way for you to find out what a simple exercise will do for you is to try it out for yourself.
Now, this doesn’t mean that you get to be a complete asshole sucker, mark, or dupe, and do everything everyone tells you to do. If you did that, you would already be dead. No. what this means is that you know what experiments will kill you and what ones won’t. Take heed. Explore at your own risk.
That said, this exercise may loosen up your back muscles, and help you to move more freely and smoothly while negotiating gravity with grace. Or, it may not. It depends on how often you use it.
Stand up straight, feet about shoulder width apart with a slight bend in your knees.
Inhale fully.
At the fullest point of your inhalation say, “Ah,” and let the top half of your body flop forward toward the floor. After exhaling fully, inhale SLOWLY at the same time as you raise your torso upright to stand up straight again. Time it so that you end up vertical at the same time you finish inhaling. Say, “Ah” and flop over again.
You may need to repeat this 10-15 times to really know whether or not you are trusting gravity. If you notice a bouncing effect after flopping over, that is a good sign.
Enjoy,
-GTD
