Where are you holding your body?

Where are you holding your body? Just look deeply - you always hold your body in Swadhishtana chakra. It is the center related to fear and insecurity. That is why you feel a constant tensed feeling in swadhishtana. What do I mean by 'holding the body'? See, in a bullock cart - the spot where the bullock and the cart is connected, that is the spot the whole tension falls. When the bullock pulls the cart, this is the spot where the cart is first experiencing the bull. We can call it the 'touch spot,' where the touch happens, where the transmission of pull, the pulling power happens. Same way, swadhishtana is the spot where the transmission of the touch between your will and the body happens. Don't hold the body in swadhishtana. Walk with the legs, not from swadhishtana. While you walk, feel that you are putting the foot on the ground. But now you are from holding your swadhishtana and pushing the body. Don't do that. Walk with legs, talk with mouth, work with hands. Stop using swadhishtana. Let the pressure be on the parts of the body which is functioning. How to do it? When you walk, remember you are using only your legs to walk. When you work, remember you are using only your hands to work. Just few days of remembrance is enough. Don't make this as a mental practice. No. It is a physical thing. You just need to learn to carry your body gracefully, nothing else.
