If you want to help someone, get yourself together.
Leadership Embodiment
The way we sit and stand can change the way we think and speak. No need to ground and grip the earth - let the earth flow up through you, lightly supporting you. We are held between the earth and the sky. Enjoy the feeling of lightness flowing up and settledness flowing down. If the body is light the mind will be light.

The body learns through exaggeration and contrast.
