The theory on how muscles work is fascinating. It is a beautiful choreography between the cells and their substances. In essence it is that they cinch up to contract and release to lengthen.
The lesson is one of attraction and releasing. I can only pull my muscles together, not push. I can only release to relax, not push them apart.
As with all things physical, I've found a metaphysical/spiritual/emotional counterpart. I can only pull, attract or ask in life. Anytime I've tried to do otherwise (push, make or demand) an atrocious backfire blows up in my face.
As with my muscles, a releasing and relaxing is required afterwards. A yin and yang if you will with regards to receiving and giving, this pulling and releasing has a renewing, recycling, balancing effect that benefits me and all within my influence.
Great lesson, body, thank you!
Namaste.
