Gradually it is becoming clearer that any anxiety causes me to begin the flexion pattern systemically throughout my body. Just a thought of the slightest anxiety and my shoulder raise, the sternum is pulled downward, the scapulas wing and raise, my spine flexes and withdraws, my ribs anteriorly close and pull together and I rotate my pelvis. posteriorly my femurs rotate inward. The movement is slight but varies in intensity to the amount of stress I am feeling. The cheap dramas give me a vehicle to monitor the movements, but I am constantly surprised how quickly I forget not to initiate the pattern. It is also very difficult for me to feel and assess if I am completely letting the pattern go. At times I feel I have accomplished a relaxation which manifests as completely erect relax posture and 5 seconds later I revert to some degree my usual pattern. It is hard for me to determine how much is an activation or physiological modifications to my skeletal system over time.
