Crawling in Natural Time

In this third stage, Crawling, the body is able to move more freely in space. It is all about mobility. Crawling will benefit greatly from the energy of Natural Time. When you apply Natural Time to Crawling you discover a softer and more elegant way of exploring life. Your joints relax, and there is a greater flow and relationship between your lower body and the upper body.

As the first part of Principle 2 in the White Belt, Natural Time shifts one’s relationship to space and time. It shifts your actions from mechanical and stiff, to movement that is powerful and sensual: powerful because you never rush, and can anticipate and create your class in a way where you craft every action; and sensual, because it supports you in moving in a space of organic nurturing.

Natural Time slows you down and it creates a deeper connection through your body to everything you do, every second of the day. By far Natural Time is one of the most beneficial tools you can use to bring a quality of consciousness and meditation without meditating into your class. Use Natural Time to increase, circulate, and utilize energy efficiently. Use it also to conserve energy and move in very efficient ways.
