If you haven't watched the Unbending Intent DVD or the Tensegrity Vol. 1, 2 or 3 ones, there'll be a couple of extra Passes in there.

Tell us what you think about the interview. I have a favourite moment, but I'll let you watch it for yourself first...]]>

The Alexander Technique teaches us that it is not just a matter of what we do--staying upright and moving--but how we do it: using inhibition and direction. In fact, it transpires that our "monkey"(an Alexander Technique term for a standing position in which the knees are bent and the torso is tilted forward from the hips) is one of the best stances during pregnancy and is particularly advantageous during labour. In "monkey", as the mother leans forwards, her abdominal wall becomes a kind of hammock for the baby, while the tilt of her pelvis makes more space for the baby's head to enter the pelvic brim; thus the baby is encouraged to move into the optimal position for birth. At the same time, the force of gravity--the weight of the baby--aids contractions and makes them stronger and more efficient.

It reminded me of "The Monkey Breath" pass in The Mixing of the Left and Right Bodies Group.

Anyone else found correlations to Tensegrity from seemingly "normal" activities/exercises/techniques?]]>

Any discoveries concerning this "cramped" issue?

I am just beginning to learn the Magical Passes (from the book and also the DVD), and read there that Juan Matus recommended Marshall art, and that one of the ladies in his group (or earlier) traveled to the East to study it. I have always been fascinated with marshal art (mostly the discipline and spiritual part of it); do you think that the Magical Passes can substitute entirely kung-fu, Tai-chi-chuan etc? I hope it is, and want your opinion.

amos.
I don't want to in any way imply that I am an authority on this matter. But here's an opinion from my personal experience.

I have practiced the magical passes very intensly at times and then not so intensly at other times. I know that there is enough force and magic in them to completely take the place of any other form of physical exercise. However, my personal preference is to have numerous physical activities going on at the same time.

I read somewhere that Don Juan had suggested that Carlos practice martial arts to gain discipline and force in order to apply that to his magical passes. And I have found this to be true for myself as well. But I don't think it necessarily has to be martial arts. It could be anything I suppose. Yoga, running, walking, weight lifting, swimming, sports... anything physical, done impeccably, could give more impact to your magical passes and vice-versa.

And it certainly doesn't hurt to eat well too ]]> Now i have an important question (for me) to ask you: i remember when reading one of your posts, you mentioned a brief encounter with kung-fu.

I know there are people out there doing them. I've been to a few workshops and there are lots of people there. On the Cleargreen website, there are loads of practice groups listed around the world.

I know that a great aspect of this knowlege is action instead of talking, but that doesn't stop people from talking about other topics; dreaming, stalking, etc.

Does anyone have any experiences or questions about Tensegrity they would like to discuss?

I for one can't get enough of the magical passes. They slowly creeped into my life until they have now become a constant thing. And they are changing me. This I know for sure. They have helped me in numerous ways. More energy. More powerful decisions. More calmness. More clarity, etc. etc.

Has anyone else had similar experiences?]]>
