Now watch my centerline of back. It's not a big move. You can see that the centerline
from top here to here is involved in the movement. See that... the folding? It's really a folding
movement, entirely this half, try to fold it in. An idea that you think about is this
half is the door and the hinge is the spine. And you fold this door using the spine as
a hinge. That's the ideal model. In reality, the other side of the spine also stretch some.
But the importance is the action along this stretch here. In other words, the shoulder
blades should not move. Once the shoulder blades are moving, then you are NOT moving
the right part. Are my shoulder blades moving, huh? So the movement is concentrated along
the spine. But also really the front, part is in the front.
Same problem, keep the other side quiet. If you are moving the "other" side then this
part, the center portion is not moving. The body is turning. Like I said, this movement,
surprisingly I find it very difficult for most people.
You want to learn to open up. Can you open up when you turn? No, this is closed.
There's just, I think if you...
OK, now, I can feel something. You can feel this movement? Yes? OK, your shoulder blades
are moving still a little too much.
You have some movement here, not big, but it is down here. As long as you have the movement.
Yeah, right, you feel something here, right? No? Because it is moving.
Open, then close.
Moving a little too much. It is purely that the back...let me open your back.
It is like your shoulder tightens.
Right, right, right...
Do you find that you can find the nerves now, maybe that can help?
Open this, now close...
Now do you feel this a bit?
Does this remind you when you are eating the claw of the crab, break the back or something?
When I open up, do you feel?
I feel some movement but I don't feel much sensation.
