Using Space To Avoid Nagging - #234

There needs to be space between blog posts that nag you to change how you occupy your body and blog posts that inspire you.

I think we can now agree it is a lot of work to occupy our bodies in ways that promote well-being. 

I hope you now know that commitment to "Bodywork" pays big dividends.

Rabindranath Tagore* also speaks of space. He marvels at how well the Japanese use it:

"When I took my seat at early dawn on a mat by the window, I realized that not only are the Japanese master-painters but they have reduced the whole of man's life to an art. 

"They know this much, that a thing which is valuable, which has worth, must be allowed a sufficient amount of space around it. Emptiness of space is most necessary for fullness of perception."

Make space for your body to be vertical and make space to experience something new this weekend. Let me know how it goes!
