The general consensus in the Pilates industry is that our bodies are machines that we must learn to control. However, the more I practice Qi Gong and meditation I find that belief to be erroneous. The ways that we move can be explained mechanically but does that necessarily mean they are inherently mechanical? When you watch someone move beautifully or gracefully does it look like they are trying to control a machine?? Probably not.
Movement in your body is the unique experience and expression of the self. What is the true self?? The true self is what remains when you peel back all the tension, fear and anxiety you have collected over your lifetime. The true self is pure beauty, energy and light. It is creativity and intuition. It is raw, vulnerable, unbridled and brilliant.
So, whats the deal with the picture of the Meowl??? You know, the hybrid cat owl creature thats clearly the fabrication of someone who found it hilarious.
It a raw expression of the true self!!!!
