EXPAND & CONTRACT is one of the core movement resources of the Open Floor International curriculum. As we navigate life we are constantly reaching and closing, nature knows this rhythm well. Being aware of this movement resource allows us to be adaptable, flexible, and to move with change.

Those with an embodied sense of EXPAND AND CONTRACT are: 

·      Fluid, flexible, and able to digest emotions/thoughts

·      Adaptive, responsive, and can be open-hearted and contained

·      Creative, curious, and open-minded

·      Evolving, changing, and accept the cycles of life

Those with a weaker sense of EXPAND AND CONTRACT might be:

·      Stuck too open or too closed in their thinking, movements, relationships, or emotions

·      Over-doers, unable to say no, or hold rigid beliefs

·      Unaware of the big picture or lacking depth of soul

·      Someone who struggles with intimacy or has a victim mentality

Winter in the Midwest is often a time of contraction because of the cold and dark, and yet the holiday season can demand our expansion. Come play around with expanding and contracting.
