Walking, running, jumping, kicking, balancing… for many of us, our feet are foundation and activation of movement.
Feet are able to step onto, stand on, push and jump off various types of surfaces – grassy fields, river beds, mountain boulders. Human feet are designed to move seamlessly through two very different modes – absorb mode, and propel mode. They often don’t get trained to their full potential on concrete sidewalks and flat floors.
Waking up sensation and access to movement in our feet can open up a whole new world of information, balance, and aliveness.
When in your life does it feel important to practice absorption? Learning, taking in, softening, processing?
When in your life does it feel important to practice propulsion? Leverage, activation, going for it?
Take a little walk and consider how your feet can teach you to seamlessly move between modes, to be both adaptable and responsive.
