Abdomen stretch

Standing FBD

Yesterday when doing the standing meditation I felt a stretch on the front sides of the abdomen. It felt a little like a balloon type feeling like there was a tissue being stretched over an expanding inner object. Normally all the other stretching feelings I've felt  in past, e.g. foot couple, transverse, stretch on the back, they've all felt more linnear but this felt like the stretch was being stretched over a more round shape. I also felt like the round feeling stretch a little in my legs as well. This only happened once so not sure if this will happen again or not.

Getting Started

In 1996 I was living in Los Angeles and started practicing yoga. Though the practive I found a specific anomoly in my upper back /shoulder/neck region. I made intention and have been working to realign this inconsistency ever since.  I have used the yoga to relaease everyday tension and help in this work and it has been helpful. For a few years in the early 2000's I was instroduced to Chi Kung exercises that led me to differnt internal sensitivites in various standing poses.  My lastest experiences with this UCB program has been a natural progression of my intial intent.

Still trying to get it; The folding/bending of the torso exercise in standing, combined with tucking in the coccyx, while relaxing the perineum and keeping the knees not bent but not locked either, are important guidelines so as to avoid collapsing.
All movements are initiated by the main torso cavity, which in term governs/influences the other 4 cavities of the torso.
Thinking aloud here. Green and naive is probably my current condition.
