These are adapted from Being In Movementand not official exercises . Note also that Being In Movement (BIM) needs to be experienced to be understood so just reading these descriptions would be like reading a menu when you\u2019re hungry and doing them is ordering and tasting the food.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

BIM Exercise 1 – Relaxing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do something (any physical or mental task will do – throwing a ball, playing a video game, counting backwards). Now relax your tongue\/mouth, belly and pelvic floor (the muscles around your genitals\/anus) – if you don\u2019t known how to do this, just tense up and then let go of that. Now do the task again and see if you\u2019re performance is different. Now tense up these core areas and try again \u2013 which is more effective and more enjoyable?

BIM Exercise 2 (with partner) \u2013 Standing Strong<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stand with one foot in front of the other, upright with the front knee bent (basically an Aikido stance). Get a partner to slowly and gently push your shoulders applying increasing pressure. Resist. Now relax your tongue\/mouth, belly and pelvic floor. Try again to be unmoved by your pushing partner \u2013 notice any change. Now try for a third time this time raising your eyebrows \u2013 what happens? Why?<\/p>\n

BIM Exercise 3 \u2013 Loving<\/strong>
<\/strong>
Do something again to get a baseline. Now think of someone who you really can\u2019t stand \u2013 the boss from hell, a politician named\u2026say George, a child-molester you\u2019d like to kill. What does this do to your body? Do the task again and see how it effects your performance. Now shake your body, and walk around until you loose the angry feeling. Next, think of someone or something that makes your heart smile \u2013 a friend, lover, child or even a flower or special place you really love. What does this do to your body? Do the task for a third time and see how it effects your performance. Switch between habitual, hating (I don\u2019t recommend practicing this too much though) and loving \u2013 in what manner would you rather live?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
