The Power of Relaxed, Flowing Movement

[Dr Ray]

What is more malleable is always superior over that which is
immovable. This is the principle of controlling things by going along
with them, of mastery through adaptation. Lao-Tzu

A great golf swing, like every superior athletic movement, is free and
flowing. It is JOY in movement. We see it in the suppleness of a
gymnast's routine. We sense it in the spontaneity of children's rough
and tumble play.

We have all known this pleasurable sensation of joyful movement. We
feel it whenever body and mind inseparably express the freedom, the
aliveness of movement.

Tension and stiffness however, diminish the pleasure in movement. You
need relaxed flexibility to truly move with ease. Swinging a golf
club, touching your toes, moving your head, without back pain, without
neck pain - this happens only when muscles are elastic and joints are
limber. Perhaps it's been awhile since you've felt this way.

We will soon discuss Soft Stomach Breathing and Deep Rhythmic
Breathing and you will learn how to integrate Rhythmic Flow throughout
all your activites of daily living, on and off the course.

Power Breathing in the Position of Strength is very much a flowing,
powerful process.
