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.
Breathe and roll the shoulders
A Micro Pause to connect breath and movement to access deeper layers of relaxation. We move the shoulders slowly and use the breath as a focus point to help us get into a meditative state.
Big arm circle
A Micro Pause to release tension in the shoulder area. We make a big arm circle that ripples through the back and the sides to really get into all parts and all connections of the upper body.
Standing, breathing rotation
A Micro Pause that gives a sense of spaciousness in the upper body. Connecting breath and a rotation of the spine, working slowly and with a curious mind.
