Heart

PicturePose: Tip-toe
More heart poses. This time tiptoe, a pose in which we balance the outer and inner, right and left, above and below.

In everyday life, our senses typically rush about past objects, faces, images, sounds, smells in an  uncontrolled way. Mentally, we're churning through advertising, news, info, info-tainment, and enter-tainment (see 'Media Matrix', 6 March 2014). Advertising alone keeps coming up with new ways to pull us, grab us. Check out this video:
http://www.wimp.com/hiddenmessage/ The question is: if this ad technique is being used to help children, where else is it being used?

We're absorbing more than ever, in ways we're not even aware of.  It's fair to say that the outer demands on our attention are intense, at times overwhelming.

Heart poses are about balance, both symbolically and physically. Here, we balance our bodies on tippy-toe. In this stage (above), our arms and hands are outstretched above us. As we bend our knees into a squat, we lower our arms and bring the palms of our hands -- right and left -- together in a gesture of unification. We become centered, our spine becomes more 'upright', and we may feel more independent from outer influences.
