‘ In the eveining the sky was clear and completely star-studded- an absolutely amazing sight.’ (He’s in South Africa) ‘And one night I lay outside in semi-supine…and something about being underneath the stars, one couldn;t help but feel spiritual when the whole universe is in your face. And I noticed everything seemed perfect in my body and I had just surrendered myself to the floor without meaning to or “thinking too much” and I felt like my shoulders knees and ankles were all working at the same time, which was a first!’ Paddy, theatre student at Arts Eductional London Schools.
‘I’m tired almost all the time….so in the holiday on some nights when I wasn’t going out I lay down in semi-supine shortly before bed….and this seemed to really help me shut down and get to sleep more easily…..I’m going to carry on doing some semi-supine and see if it helps my sleeping.’ Paddy, 18, theatre student at The Arts Educational School London.
Every Xmas hols I get the theatre students to practise lying down in semi-supine every day in the balanced resting state and write up their discoveries. This is one. I’ll write up some more of their findings. Follow these posts!
In the Chrstmas holidays I asked my theatre students to lie down everyday in the balanced resting state and write a two page report on their experiences. As usual there were great realisations and discoveries. This is what Rita wrote:
‘I did it this morning and I was really bored and quite stiff too. I am getting more and more stressed about the amount of work we need to do and my brain is letting my back be the bearer of these realisations. Great!’
A discovery of psych0-physical unity.
Don’t think this woman has the same problem. It’s one of my workshop attendees from last year as we took our early morning swim in Alonnisos…..
