Today in class was a totally new experience to any I’d had before ever! My two weeks of intensive Franklin Method is settling into my body, mind, being.
My muscles are a completely new dynamic of floating elasticty. They felt individually clearer and yet more unified. Like my bones were just floating in a sea of supportive…. what’s the word? It’s kinda like gloop! Like the ocean with waves that create the movement. The interesting thing is that as I feel my muscles, fascia, liquidness sail my bones into movement the lines of muscle action feel clearer and more direct and supportive. Everything feels as if it can settle closer to the midline and then everything else is catapulted from there.
As I walk out of class I can feel my femurs have rearranged themselves and are able to nuzzle more softly into their hip sockets. It feels like the support from them gives my spine a new length and easeful space.
So as the body becomes more intelligent it moves with more ease within the structure. When you have clear structure, the energy can flow more easily- intensely, and then your structure is just the container. It’s all geometary and movement.
