Today was a day where I valued quality over quantity in my practice. I only got about 90 minutes of work in, but I feel like I made concrete, retainable progress up the side of Mt. Ligeti. I do believe this is because I just had a great day all around. I spent the afternoon at yoga and then at a much-needed Alexander lesson, ate delicious carrot ginger soup, caught up on many emails, and noticed the beautiful architecture in New York City. And after a day like today, I wonder why I can't have this feeling every day. I felt calm, relaxed, not pressed for time nor pressed for Facebook-refreshing.
Most importantly, I released some serious tension in my hip flexors today. May sound small, but for me, hip flexors are the alpha and omega of my feeling at home and free in my body. Even right now as I type this, if I can think about a little more freedom in my hips, my weight sinks down deeper in my chair, my feet spread out on to the ground, I feel my chest widen and my breath deepen.
And evidently the 13th partial on the A harmonic is directly tied to my hip flexors too. What phenomenal power I possess. If only Pythagoras would have known.
