These are adapted from Being In Movementand not official exercises . Note also that Being In Movement (BIM) needs to be experienced to be understood so just reading these descriptions would be like reading a menu when you’re hungry and doing them is ordering and tasting the food.
BIM Exercise 1 – Relaxing
Do something (any physical or mental task will do – throwing a ball, playing a video game, counting backwards). Now relax your tongue/mouth, belly and pelvic floor (the muscles around your genitals/anus) – if you don’t known how to do this, just tense up and then let go of that. Now do the task again and see if you’re performance is different. Now tense up these core areas and try again – which is more effective and more enjoyable?
BIM Exercise 2 (with partner) – Standing Strong
Stand with one foot in front of the other, upright with the front knee bent (basically an Aikido stance). Get a partner to slowly and gently push your shoulders applying increasing pressure. Resist. Now relax your tongue/mouth, belly and pelvic floor. Try again to be unmoved by your pushing partner – notice any change. Now try for a third time this time raising your eyebrows – what happens? Why?
BIM Exercise 3 – Loving
Do something again to get a baseline. Now think of someone who you really can’t stand – the boss from hell, a politician named…say George, a child-molester you’d like to kill. What does this do to your body? Do the task again and see how it effects your performance. Now shake your body, and walk around until you loose the angry feeling. Next, think of someone or something that makes your heart smile – a friend, lover, child or even a flower or special place you really love. What does this do to your body? Do the task for a third time and see how it effects your performance. Switch between habitual, hating (I don’t recommend practicing this too much though) and loving – in what manner would you rather live?
