I had to sharpen several pencils at work today. The amount of pressure I put my hands to do it would probably be sufficient to sharpen 5 of them at the same time. Once I became aware of that, an opportunity to work on myself presented itself. I began to gently think about my neck releasing...
My body began to readjust to this new task in a more constructive manner. The unnecessary pressure in hands decreased, my breathing deepend. I stood up and became more aware of the space around me. Before that I was sucked into an evil world of pencils, sharpener and the end-gaining.
That unnecessary tension in my hands occured more often today, not to mention the moments when I was not aware of its presence. The words of Dr.Nicoll spring to mind: "... The hands so easily express violence"
