Think about little babies, how they cuddle and contract into tight snuggly balls, and how they cry out and expand their bodies when they need something. Or as they learn to venture out and reach for objects and people around them. How a dysregulated child might hide or lash out with hitting. Or how an adult in conflict might avoid or be aggressive. These are all examples of the Open Floor International Core Movement Resource of EXPAND AND CONTRACT. We are constantly opening and closing and extending and pulling back to center.
