3) What
are the benefits of Flextasy™?
The most
obvious benefits of Flextasy™ are increased flexibility
and body awareness. With these come an increase in vital energy
as trapped, stagnated energy in the joints and soft tissue
is freed and released by the movements. This is a key factor
in your search for health and well-being.
Inflexibility
is another word for old age.
Age
cannot be simply figured by the progression of years. If you
see someone who is out of shape, stiff and inflexible, even
though young, they appear and indeed are, older than their
years. Conversely, when you see oldsters who are active and
flexible (this usually means psychologically as well as physically)
still wholeheartedly participating in life, you see them as
youthful, despite their years. Paul Bragg, the pioneer of
the health food store, author, physical therapist and fitness
master, was one of these people. He died at age 94 as a result
of complications after a surfing accident. This kind of flexibility
and vital energy that is your birthright can be regained through
Flextasy™.
Alignment
of the body will occur naturally as the skeleton limbers up
with a regular practice of Flextasy™. By keeping the
body squared (paying attention to the horizontal and vertical
planes) as you slowly go through the movements you will be
gently bringing the skeleton to its rightful alignment in
gravity. As the tissue decompresses and lengthens by virtue
of these movements, space is created in the joints and hinges.
The body loosens up, chronic holding patterns are broken,
and a new freedom of movement will be experienced.
Proper
posture will be loose, natural and comfortable, instead of
something to be fought with to painfully maintain.
Another
benefit of Flextasy™ is that it is an indispensable prerequisite
to any and all forms of exercise. From cycling and running,
to yoga or sports, if you move doing it, you will benefit
immensely from the increased flexibility and body awareness
which will be yours through Flextasy™. You will gain
an awareness of body mechanics, how your skeleton was meant
to move. By paying attention to your breathing and to what
every part of your body is doing at all times, perhaps for
the first time, a powerful shift in your consciousness takes
place, which is both a revelation and a delight. Learning,
and daily practicing this kind of focus, will change your
athletic performance and your everyday life dramatically.
To power
and strength will be added grace and fluidity.
The
Flextasy™ movements are diagnostic as well as therapeutic.
From the beginning of your Flextasy™ practice you will
be painfully aware of any holdings in the body, places where
your tissue is dense and your skeleton is asleep. The evidence
of these places ranges from a simple lessening of range of
motion to complete immobility of skeletal parts. As you move
into these sore, tight areas gently and with acceptance, understanding,
patience and persistence, you will undergo many emotional
changes as well as reach your goal of flexibility and achieve
a body awareness absent in most human beings. This will heighten
and expand your self-awareness, thus enhancing your time on
this earth.
At the
end of each Flextasy™ session you will experience, in
conjunction with your body relaxing, a calming of your mind.
As your physical flexibility increases and moves to deeper
levels you may notice it becomes easier to allow a calming
of your emotions. The less tight and rigid your body is, the
less uptight and rigid your emotions have a chance to be.
You may begin practicing this flexibility exercise routine
simply for physical considerations and be pleasantly surprised
when all other areas of your being and your life are positively
affected. How and why this phenomenon occurs, and the ramifications
of it, is discussed further in the book "Flextasy™".
These
briefly, are a few of the myriad benefits of Flextasy™.
It is impossible to label the more subtle changes which are
responsible for the transformation of the body and the psyche
through the practice of this process.
Give
it a try and JUDGE ONLY BY RESULTS!!!
Benefits

vital energy, an increase in body awareness, a calming of
