Nia Education - The Chest
Posted: Jul 13, 08:38 AMNia Conditioning and Natural Time
In a hustle-bustle world, it can be easy to lose track of the natural flow of things, especially of our own bodies’ rhythms. We all go about our beautifully messy biological lives attempting to fit within an unnatural, mechanical construct of time,
which often impedes our development and happiness. Yet, we find that when we move in synch with the natural unfolding of ourselves, of nature, and the world around us, life itself unfolds with ease and fluidity. Nia was created to be in tune with this natural system, called Natural Time.
Pay attention to the movements of your chest to powerfully tap into your own Natural Time. The ribs of your chest are like a birdcage that surrounds and protects your heart and lungs. Your chest bones – both in the front of your body, such as your s-shaped collar bone, and the back of your body, such as your shoulder blades – support your shoulder girdle, which gives wings to your arms and hands allowing them to take flight and be light and expressive.
Connect with your Natural Time by sensing the rhythm of your breath – feel the gentle rise and fall of your chest. Inhale and exhale, breathe deeply, and smell the moment. Dance your own dance – float and fly your arms with expression, breathe and make sounds, sing, sigh, and be in your own natural flow.
Moving with individuation and autonomy in Natural Time is one of the most powerful tools for getting fit and for transforming your body and life. When you dance in Natural Time, you dance to the beat of the Universe and your Universe – you dance with Nia Conditioning.
