Two Minute Experiment: Foot Position Determines Body Tension
Take two minutes to try the experiment in the following audio recording to notice that a simple thing like altering the position of your feet in sitting can increase or decrease the level of relaxation you feel in your body. Your brain looks for cues from your body position so that it can prepare for what is to come next. Ignoring the cues can cause chronic tension.
