Straight Spine

One of the biggest mistakes that can be made is to use force to adjust the lower back, pelvis, pubic bone in order to achieve what we think is a straight back.

This will result in tension in the body and mind, exactly the opposite of what we are looking for.Yang Cheng Fu exhorts us to relax and use mind, not force. Funny how often we ignore this or pay lip service.

What we really want is to allow the spinal cord to hang in a straighter fashion. This can be achieved by visualising and relaxing from a point in the back. I'm not going to reveal it but have fun investigating the idea.
