Mystery of the knee

“The knee can also be understood metaphorically, representing the ability to be flexible in life, to be mobile and move toward a purpose".

If we are presented with a threat, our instinct is to run away or move toward a positive desire.Since nervous system is wired with emotions and initiating movement responses, body motion also influences memory and feelings (Casasanto and Dijkstra 2010).The emotion of fear represented in the knees will prevent movement in the knee; this is the fear of moving forward in life or of taking the necessary steps toward a goal.

Locked knees make it impossible to move forward and mean one can easily be knocked over .

Being mentally “locked into” one way of thinking or feeling inhibits movement.

Having flexible knees gives the feeling of Freedom to choose to move in any direction and to be poised for any possibility, while adapting to change.

Having an awareness of the connection between personal life resistances , stuck patterns, and stress manifesting in restrictive body motion gives one an opportunity to go deeper into oneself.

The integration of self-study with physical training that focuses on balancing the body's form and function enchances healing potential. Reciprocally, the body's capacity for better movement will help support healthier emotions. ( c)
