How important is flexibility for conciousness work?

[SamC]

My calves are super super tight and it got me wondering, does tightness in your muscles limit or inhibit conciousness work/ enlightenment work in any way?

@SamC tight as in tensed up, unrelaxed, or as in solid strong unflabby muscles? I don't see how it would limit your work, but tension in the body is sometimes linked with repressed feelings. Emotion is spread all through the body, not just in the head. You may not be repressed but if you are, the spiritual work is a great way for un-inhibiting you.

No.

But if you feel tense anywhere in your body, look into that. That in itself is work and some stretching followed by relaxation can help with letting it go.

@snowyowl Strong unflabby muscles lol. I can't even squat.

It's becuase I walked on my tipie toes when I was a child. I've tried to fix it in the past with stretching but it didn't worked. 

 

@Dancer  yeah I should really dedicate to fix it regardless

Yes. There are many facets to consciousness work. You have a body mind connection and by getting it in proper working order you can increase your general mood and awareness. This is why I do Qigong.
