Rising sun

A metaphor from Alexander teacher Missy Vineyard:


"Let the sun rise above your horizon."

I like this image very much.  If I imagine the sun is high up in front of me, this gives me a clear sense of where forward and up is in space.  But not only does it give me something positive to aim towards (created by my mind), it also gives me the sense that there is something wonderful for me to receive (also created by my mind).  The real sun gives us light, warmth, joy, life, and beauty.  So does the idea.


May your day be inspired by the idea of the sun!
