Allow for a softening in the back of your neck.
Of course there is no real position for your head because your head should be constantly available for movement. More of a problem is that the head is held too tightly and almost stuck in a position. Allowing for a release of the muscles in the back of your neck will allow your head to rise a little bit, giving more room to your spine, which in turn can make every movement easier. Without moving your head around, try it with just a thought.

Paradox@
if i DO the unconscious bad direction of head back and down for 30 minutes then,
I need another 30 minutes to restore the compression of the body by keeping the head forward and up.
The head helps to neck tension,
the torso helps to neck,
the legs helps to neck via torso,
the arms helps to neck via torso.
The neck helps head torso legs arms.
The not compress of the head torso limbs not helps Me , to let the head forward and up from the top of the neck to lessen the compress of head to the spine,
if ‘ I ‘ keep the head back and down.
Keep the neck free from the misdirections and tensions generated by head torso limbs, so that the head not compress the neck in our daily actions and dramas.
There is no proper position of the head.
But, proper direction is there , which is
‘head forward and up’
, having a good frienship and relationship with other torso,limbs directions for the mindbody health.

head,neck relationship:::::::::::
WHY MY NECK STOOPS (or goes forward)?
ans ::: my front of the neck muscles are weak( less tension) compared to back of the neck muscles(more tension).
so, the back neck muscles contracting more compared to front of the neck muscles by pulling the head back and down.
for to prevent this pulling i have to balance front,back tension of the neck by keeping the head forward and up or preventing the back and down,
and preventing the neck stooping.
i think the neck is stooping forward.( while sitting on sit bones).
if we prevent the stooping of the neck and letting the head forward and up becomes easy.
BUT how to stop stooping the neck, what are the direct and indirect parts making the neck stooping?
ans : whether the stooping of the thorax( with ribcage) causing the stooping of the neck.?
the slump in the lumbar making the thorax stooping and indirectly causing the neck stoop?
whether the pelvis slump making the lumbar slump, causing the thorax stoop and making the neck stoop.
what are other reasoning’s ( while standing)?
leland val work is good.
head forward and up direction.
pointing the spine direction.
head away from heals.
awarness begins behind you.
are the very good words, by which we can imagine the possibilites.
wether the neck free involves the neck muscles
wether the forward rotation of the head involves the facial muscles like chine jaw, and up rotation of the head involves the frontal muscles of the
skull. so, iam thinking the head muscles involves and responsible for the
forward and up rotation of the head.
how many times i have to go to TRAP OF DOING
TRAP OF DOING? HOW UNRECOGNIZED DANGER IS THIS.
HOW CONDUCTION OF ENERGY DISTURBING IN THIS CASE.
we have the power to conduct energy to different mechanisms.
but how much to conduct energy to each mechanism, oh god? what a great
experience but how much difficult is this?
as a whole of the body, conducting the energy by following the means whereby principle, oh god ? how much difficult? difficult?difficult?difficult?
but not difficult if we follow the meanswhereby principles , remembering
the sequence of directions oneafter the other alltogether.
good explnation and easy to understand.
Thanks James
Brilliant images Leland, I really admire the way you get the points across with pictures. It’s a great idea to run a blog of your group classes. I might have to try it too! I’m starting to realise how much effort it takes to keep a blog updated – I hope your class is very grateful!!
Best wishes,
James
