Neck, shoulders and upper back, 7: Moving with curiosity
by josefine | Jun 8, 2025
A Micro Pause where we focus on the mind set of curiosity when it comes to one’s own body. You will get to investigate your body. Like a researcher looking for insight, not necessarily straight answers, but looking to increase their knowledge on something.
One great benefits of moving in an unstructured manner is that you can let go of usual movement patterns. Again, the nervous system likes repetition. With an attitude of curiosity you can venture out on paths that your nervous impulses not normally take. The result is the activation of muscles fibres so that they can start to move in new ways, resulting in increased circulation and a sense of aliveness in the body.
