Stabiliser system , Mobiliser system, Stick

I have found this differentiation increasingly useful in standing practice.

In practice this morning I again found myself 'leaning back and lifting the front' and where before I would have become interested in the 'how' or 'why',  this morning, I more simply understood this as the mobiliser system trying to do the work of the stabilisers and it was easy just to take the attention away and to refocus on listening for what the bones are 'telling me'.

Pelvis Twisting

In this morning's practice I noticed something new that had been outside of my awareness.

As I have posted before, my legs feel different to each other, with the left leg feeling less 'connected' and less 'supportive' than my right.

I began to wonder that maybe my right leg was more connected due me preferentially using it as weight bearing and maybe I was standing more on one leg than the other but not noticing it.
