We Have More Power Than We Feel

When you understand anatomy, it becomes clear how power is enabled. Our body doesn't act as individual parts. There's no strength in that. There is synergy of the muscle and connective tissue (fascia) that orchestrates a complex system that allows movement and expression.  

When your body compensates in this disconnected way, you feel the pain of things not working together. Your hamstrings, or your calves, or your gluts acting in isolation are not going to move you forward. Any where in your body where you're activating a muscle on it's own, you will limit your capacity for responsive stability.  

Using the body as an interconnected whole allows strong movement patterns that prevent pain. There are exercises and moves that require specific muscles to fire so that the pattern can be executed well, but there is still synergy between the individual muscles in a chain.  

When I play around with understanding this from a somatic perspective, I see the body as the metaphor of interconnectedness that could improve how I approach most problems. Individual muscles are distinct, but not effective without the collaboration of the rest of the body. 

Taking this into consideration, if one person in a team acted completely independent, the disconnect would cause a failure to find a collaborative solution.  

It's in the many unique perspectives acting synergistically, that power truly arises. Our body knows this and manifests this. And we are able to embody this in a way that assures the use of our innate power...not power over...but power to.

The mind and anatomy ideally work together to affect the change you want to see.
