It can be hard to remember that vision is not just "automatic." It requires the smooth functioning of a complex system of muscles and nerves. Because we are so highly visual as a species, the muscles of the eyes end up having a strong influence on the muscles of the neck and back, and from there the entire body! Using the eyes with greater awareness can lead to less strain, better balance, and a greater sense of security in movement. The two audio recordings posted here are similar in nature, but the "shorter version" is only 35 minutes a bit simpler, while the "longer version" is a bit more complex and runs to 50 minutes.
