Hand-on-Sacrum

Sometimes just stop what you are doing and stand up. You are typing, you are reaching over for the kettle switch, maybe you are drinking tea reading the paper, maybe you are doing short form. Put your hand on your sacrum and feel how it is. Is your tail bone sticking out? Is your sacrum lengthened and tucked in? Remember how it feels when your teacher comes round and corrects your posture in class. When the teacher allows puts your hand on their back they show you how it could feel externally, to move toward alignment, this is an opportunity to learn by feeling, like a child does. We are sharing understanding here, there should be nothing awkward or embarrassing in learning directly like this despite our negative cultural conditioning about touch. Let your body-memory return you to your right alignment, it will always be minutely different for everyone, but the coccyx will be tucked under, the muscles of the lumbar will be relaxed, the imaginary tail drops to the floor, perhaps, or comes forwards between the legs. Be still for a moment and connect with the ground, notice your root. We live in our heads far too much already, and sometimes just remembering the 'suspended crown' can be the wrong instruction for the moment... So, put your hand on your sacrum and readjust yourself, you already know how.
