Aligning

---

​Aligning is all about relationship - the relationship between one part and another, foot and hand; tailbone and soles of the feet; crown of the head and perineum; the earthy part of you and the cerebral; muscle and bone; shoulders, hips and ankles; head, chest and abdomen; gravity and levity; mind and body; one person and another; you and nature; and so on ..... many relationships! 
Rather than thinking of your body's connections as a rigid, held, scaffolding type of structure, envisage a fluid, alive dynamic that's always open to change, always searching for the happiest connection. A bit like a river in its flow, like the cycle of the seasons in being natural. Think of your head wanting to reach up and 'kiss the sky'; your feet wanting to reach into the body of the earth.
