Keeping up...

Exercise time:  simple exercises which I plan to do for a minimum of  1/2 hour every day. They include physical and voice both separately and together.  I often use music as a background and this, particularly the rhythm, influences the exercises and helps me find different ways of exploring them. It's fascinating reading aloud a Shakespeare sonnet while Bach is playing, light tone, the thoughts flow, while Beethoven means more weight, depth, more pauses, more romanticism.  

It's difficult to make the exercises flow from one into the other and keep the concentration throughout but fascinating when you discover the centralisation of the body and images which begin to transport you into into another world. 
I have begun focussing more and more on trying to stay centered, both during the exercises and during the rest of the day. The image is of working with a ball in the place of the Ki (about three digits below the belly button). 
I am also using a simple meditation technique, combined with breathing creating to help me center and remain relaxed.

 I need to be as fit as possible and a free flow of energy is always essential.  Often groups I work with thank me for the positive energy  I try to communicate. 

Energy is one of those things easy to sense but not easy to maintain in a balanced way.
