The Movery A Mindful Movement Studio

A poet is somebody who feels, and who expresses his feelings through words.

This may sound easy. It isn’t.

A lot of people think or believe or know they feel — but that’s thinking or believing or knowing; not feeling. And poetry is feeling — not knowing or believing or thinking.

Almost anybody can learn to think or believe or know, but not a single human being can be taught to feel. Why? Because whenever you think or you believe or you know, you’re a lot of other people: but the moment you feel, you’re nobody-but-yourself.

To be nobody-but-yourself — in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting

E.E. Cummings

This is one of the teachers who has most inspired me, and an interesting read, considering how common it is to pull the shoulders back and stick out the chest.

Relationship of the Sternum and Ribs So many of us have been instructed to lift our sternums to achieve a form or posture. It's a mechanical action that can tighten our spine, ribs, sternum, and shoulders.
