happy - release, lengthen
-
not happy - tightness, locking or holding
Set your timer for meditation. Your bodies many systems will interact easier when the mind is not in the 'Directors' seat.
Alignment time is for everyone. After the primary school years the school bags for students become substantially heavier, and puberty brings physical and emotional challenges. The alignment time process helps not just the physical, it also helps relax and calm emotions, which we know are intertwined with the physical.
After the sporting and busy years, M.A.T. helps to retain correct alignment pathways in areas of the body which are often the most in need, these are fingers and wrists, forearms, and feet.
M.A.T. is a good starting point in your mediation practice.
“Traditionally, in a Son Buddhist monastery, we are taught to meditate lying down when we’re about to go to sleep. Entering mindfully into a relaxed physical state free of unnecessary muscular tension."

"Engaging diaphragmatic breathing …. ensures a deeper, much more restful and satisfying sleep. The next morning you wake up feeling physically replenished and emotionally vital and optimistic. There is a feeling of abundance, an overflow of energy and hopefulness, and the day just starts on a better note literally as soon as you open your eyes” (THE BLOG How to Meditate Lying Down)
