Look up (and out)!

Recently, this conversation popped up on Twitter:

It’s true: looking up and out allows us to remain in alignment with our chest and pelvis (the Body’s Way is that head, chest and pelvis are stacked one upon another like building blocks).

When we are looking up (and not down at our feet), we are restoring alignment and balance to our bones, organs, ligaments, muscles, veins and arteries.

Looking up also keeps us both physically and energetically “open”. Physically, we are able to breathe with more depth and efficiency when we are not collapsing into our throat. We also avoid straining our optical muscles. Energetically, looking up has the effect of improving self confidence and self esteem, keeps us in the present moment and helps us stay in our bodies (vs. getting hijacked by our thoughts).

So look up – enjoy the view!
