If you've ever watched a starfish or octopus move you will immediately get a visual representation for the reach and retract movements that we explore.  By using the entire body as a unit you will hopefully appreciate how no one part of your body operates independently.  Your arm does not originate from your shoulder.  The arm is just a name we have juxtaposed as shorthand over a system of tissues that are inextricably connected throughout our entire being.  The fibers of your arm extend down into your toes.  Nothing is separate.  We are a closed system and reaching and retracting from end to end, stem to stern  will help efficiently energize and strengthen everything in between.
