So now to balance off what we just did previously I am going to push the foot backwards towards Sara's head but be prepared that you are not just thrusting the foot back in a haphazard way. You are grabbing the heel and the bottom part of her foot and pushing back, very simple. It is just a way of establishing a memory in the way of the body in the way things should be moving. That is a lot of what Shiatsu is is just re-establishing the way we should naturally be, kind of the way a child is naturally balanced. If you look at a child's body they are always working from the hara. They have a very full and relaxed tummy. They work in a coordinated way. It is just a matter of reprogramming our body to get back into that memory that our body has and really wants to get back to, to move freely without stress, without tension and with that emotional freedom to always cry and laugh if we can. We are going to finish up this section by shaking out the legs. I am going to stand up and grab Sara's ankles here and simply shake them out, shake them out, keep those hips loose, rocking, rocking, rocking. I'm creating a movement here and a flow. Be a little vigorous if you can, yea, it's nice that somebody else can do the walking for you huh? Okay and let it go. We'll get to our next section when we return.
