How do you experience your Feet? When you walk, see what happens if you think of the spring of the foot off the big toe as it moves behind you and the weight actively (not passively) spreading into the floor like a puddle into the foot you are standing on. The feet continually “spring” and “spread” as we move, playing with both gravity and levity.

We ground before we spring into action. Sometimes we can give too much into gravity causing a lack of support and difficulty to bring ourselves into action. Another possibility is to be pulling too much up into levity causing unnecessary tension and inability to ground, to feel what is supporting us, and to reflect on our actions in a way that informs our next move . This leaves the feet and often the joints above (and often our minds) vulnerable and less easy in action.
