坐立伸展脊椎 19Aug2018

🧘🏻‍♀️
現代都市生活無疑很便利，但不太好的一面是久坐不動。
坐下如「定格」一段時間內保持相同的姿勢不動卻毫無意識，對於本來設計用來活動的身體是很不利的。

頭腦迷失於身外別的事物，但遺憾的是對內在狀況沒有知覺，更別說要檢視或改善，整個身體都處於緊張狀態而不自知，直到身體從疼痛作為訊號開始發出抱怨時，我們可能會做一些伸展，希望能擺脫不適。

但我相信培養身體意識更重要，始於給脊柱創造更多內部空間以便往上延伸，肯定會帶來很多好處，肉眼可見的例如整體身體姿勢更好，無論坐下或行走均帶著覺知的意識以便隨時修正，因而能活得優雅。 （提外話，剛剛讀完 “The Art of Grace, on moving well through life” by Sarah L. Kaufman 中譯本：《凝視優雅》，真是好書，獲益良多）

再者，獲得充分空間延伸處於自然狀態的脊椎帶動呼吸質量提高，對我們的健康和福祉也是至關重要的。

彎曲的膝蓋堆疊在一起，帶來大腿骨骼的內旋，也創造了一個更寬的基礎，可以穩定坐直，並有更多的空間讓脊柱向上擴展。

Urban life has it not so good side of unmindfully sitting down remaining the same posture for quite some time, so not only our mind get lose into something else, but unfortunately not inwardly reflecting, but also tightness all through out the body.
And then only when our body start to complaint, we may do some stretching hoping that we ease us off from discomfort.
But I believe it’s more important to cultivate the awareness of the body, for me I find it really important to start from the spine, creating more internal space for it to grow longer definitely brings a lot of benefit, better overall body posture, moving with grace and awareness are some of the visible ones, while improving quality of breath is also very crucial to our health and wellbeing. Let’s give ourselves a try !
Bended knees stack on top of each other bring inner rotation of the thigh bones, also creating a broader foundation to sit upright steadily and have more space for the spine to extent upward.
