Lately, I've been thinking about how compete UCB is. What I mean is that I can feel how there are aspects of my personality that are associated to my habitual posture. These have to released to allow my body to stretch in response to the foot couple. My whole feeling of my "self" is affected. I'm beginning to see that our collapsed structure is not the only thing that is has us mimicing Standing by doing a tall crouch. Often times, we smile and facially emote in a superficial way that is not connected to this deeper, primal, way of moving that is innate and not a cultural affectation.

I was having some tingling sensations in my back which I've come to think means that there are just some parts of the fascia that are trying to slide that haven't really done that before and are maybe breaking those cross links. So I was doing a little bend and unbend repeatedly to try and help this part of the back work the connective tissue. After doing this for a little bit I realized that in the back of my legs the stretch was getting more and more tight with each bend and unbend.

Last week after we did the 5 elements lesson I got very tired and fell asleep on the couch before going to bed. When I woke up and walked to my bedroom my body felt like it was floating a little bit or like there was less gravity weighing me down. 

Is this something related to the 5 elements practice or was is just some random sensation because I took that nap after being exhausted from the 5 elements.
