Now we will shift our attention to the other end of your spine and find out how the head is designed to move with a healthy breath. In these lessons we exaggerate the breath and its accompanying movements, making them bigger and making them in slow motion. In the learning phase of any new enterprise, especially one that involves reprogramming the nervous system, it is helpful to practice very slowly and deliberately.

When you are ready to continue, bring your knees up again so that your feet are flat on the floor. Interlace your fingers behind your head, making sure your fingers are behind your head, not your neck. Begin taking those slow diaphragmatic breaths we’ve been cultivating. As you breathe into your re-laxed belly, arch the small of your back and roll your pelvis down the floor. As you breathe out, flatten the small of your back. Do this a few times, slowly and smoothly.
