<\/p>\n There are many <\/span>aspects <\/b>of movements which can <\/span>restrict our freedom to move<\/b>. <\/p>\n Our motion demands \u2018sensors\u2019 which give us information about our motion. Usually, we speak about five <\/span>senses<\/b>: touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste. We have a tendency to forget a crucial sense of our movement; an inner feeling called <\/span>proprioception<\/b>, also known as <\/span>kinesthesia<\/b>.\u00a0 It allows us to <\/span>feel <\/span>tension <\/b>of our muscles, tendons and fascias; to feel flow <\/span>kinetic energy<\/b> (bodywave); to feel <\/span>the relative position of our own parts of the body – <\/span>coordination <\/b>of movement (a key component in muscle memory and hand-eye coordination); to feel <\/span>balance <\/b>(<\/span>equilibrioception)<\/span>; to feel <\/span>pain <\/b>(nociception) and to feel <\/span>temperature <\/b>(thermoception) etc. For all movements, we need a necessary amount of muscle engagement\u00a0 – tension. However, normally we add much more tension than is necessary – <\/span>undesirable tension<\/b>. Physical tension is directly linked with mental tension – <\/span>stress<\/b>. A relaxed body is more efficient<\/strong>, moves easier and quicker<\/strong> is more sensitive<\/strong>–\u00a0 it creates a positive cascade effect.<\/span><\/p>\n Through a relaxed body <\/span>kinetic energy (bodywave)<\/b> flows freely…<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The kinetic energy is working either for you or against you. You can freely <\/span>surf the bodywave<\/b>, or you can fight with kinetic energy – resist.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/veda.one\/sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/free-butterfly.jpg\")

\n<\/span>Let’s look at these aspects separately to understand them, feel what works and what doesn\u2019t.
\n<\/span>Let’s understand how they <\/span>link together<\/b> and try and perceive them as <\/span>one holistic picture<\/b>.
\n<\/span>This blog has two parts. The first one is about the physical aspects and the second one will focus more on other aspects<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\nSensitivity<\/b><\/h2>\n
\n<\/span>Proprioception doesn’t just allow us to feel our<\/span> muscles and skin, it allows to feel our fascias, tendons, bones and organs.
\n<\/span>A better inner feeling lets you move more precisely and efficiently.
\n<\/span>Inner feeling and the<\/span> sense of touch<\/b> are crucial sensors that demand a <\/span>sensitive touch<\/b> and need to be able to <\/span>synchronise – flow with <\/b>your surroundings, whether people or objects.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a>Tension<\/b><\/h2>\n
\n<\/span>Undesirable tension usually works <\/span>against you<\/b> – makes you <\/span>slower<\/b> and <\/span>weaker<\/b>. Undesirable tension <\/span>wastes your vital energy<\/b>, slows down regeneration and produces toxins\u2026
\n<\/span>To be able to be aware of undesirable tension is important for developing our inner feeling.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>To be aware of stress, and be able to cope with stress, it is good to use your own personal experience to feel how the stress comes, and how it affects your body.
\n<\/span>With the awareness of tension in your physical body, you can start building up good habits to subconsciously manage mental stress.<\/span><\/p>\nLiquid body<\/b><\/h2>\n
