Physical Practice

WBB C.O.R.E. training: Correction Of Reticulating Elements. The practices in this section have been built and discovered over years to deepen your experience of the meshed tensegrity connections through your whole body, principally your seven diaphragms and the frontlines/backlines. You will learn about the seven diaphragms and the force transfer lines of the tensegrity structure which create your form with every inhale.

In this video we’ll get a better sensation of the fascia running through our body. How its elasticity contributes to keeping your shape. You will feel the rebounding force of the fascia, put your hands on the actual fascial structure of the thoracolumbar facia to differentiate it from muscle, and learn deeper psychosomatic truths about how holding yourself has to do with thoughts.

In this video we’ll go from confirming movement in the torso to awakening movement in the arms, head, and pelvis.

The exercises are : Pushup/Shoulder Breathing for arms, SCM / Head Tug for head, and the Psoas Situp for legs.

It is important to pay attention to attachment points, as these are likely where you will feel the most sensation. You may at first feel a generalized sensation, tingling, and you should stay with it until/if it becomes more clear.

It may be helpful to try in various postures, or in various stretches, to increase the amount of sensation felt.

Addendum to Video: If you breath into your belly and feel the organs push into the pelvis, that is another good way to get a feel for movement into the pelvis. You can also tension the feet lines and get a feel for the tension of your glutes pulling open the pelvis.

The spine extension exercise below has another exercise for feeling the pull back on the head

With a side note about attractive appearance and growth, and the mirroring of the head with the torso. We have cartilage in the front of the ribcage between the proper bone and sternum, and this will likely need to be stretched / further developed. Remember that the breath happens mostly into the back and causes rib lifting/expansion backwards as well. Additionally, there is cartilage at the pubic symphysis of the left and right hip in the front, and a facial/tendon web connecting it to the sacrum at the back. These need to be stretched/developed to pull the hips into a wider stance and in better orientation (with eachother, and with the rest of the body).

The spine naturally extends and lengthens on the inhale. This is a result of the deepest level of breath, and drives the breath impulse through to the fascia of the rest of the body. As the fascia of the meninges and spine are densest, their slight movement all at once when the CSF fluid increases drives a large movement through the fascia of the rest of the body/diaphrags - which then increases CSF pressure, a feedback loop that drives a proper inhale. And vice versa on the exhale. The tension between the from of the skull and back of the skull being pulled in opposite directions can generate tremendous force, which is proper development in terms of pulling the neurocranium (skull) away from the viscerocranium (nasomaxilla, jaws). The feeling of spinal extension when slumped over is also a good way to get the feeling of force generation from the neck to the head.

What we want to feel is the upper and lower limits of natural breathing - where the breathing pattern goes from relaxed and easy into compensation, and play in that area. You can also play in the red area, but not as a constant practice (in my opinion). It’s important to feel the elasticity between the inhale and exhale

The body is composed of fluid. Most of it liquid, some of it more dense, and with even the air and gasses playing a role in the fluid dynamics. These are the sorts of dynamics which actually contribute to strengthening or properly working the facial network. We need to play into this fluid dynamics pressure in order to loosen the improper constrictions in the front and backlines, and also to strengthen them - it is this pressure along the fascial lines which results in expansion on the inhale. This internal pressure also drives the systems of the body - cardiovascular, lymphatic, gas exchange, fluid exchange et al.
