Acknowledging that healing practices require certain discipline, I was not expecting this one to be so physical.
Our first requirement was to set ourselves in motion, literally. We were to sit away from the backs of our chairs and keep ourselves in constant motion using the sacrum, base of the spine as the point of origin. Nikolay ask us to keep this posture at all times for it keeps us alert and lively leading to better health and well being. While that is the posture I find I have while writing this, I found it hard to keep it all day, and it will take much practice to carry it into the rest of my life.
We are admonished as children to sit still and stop fidgeting, how does that curtail our eventual health? Yet, I can envision an "unenlightened" teacher being totally frustrated by a sea of youngsters in constant motion.
As for the singing, I got the idea, but it will take much more practice before I can hope to find that magic place where the incredible melody comes through like a delicate flute. Sometimes I would stop practicing and just listen to him and his interpreter, Vladislav Matrenitsky sing. A healing experience in itself.
Later
