Navel Radiation: Navel Radiation is the first pattern in humans that moves us through space.  Having found a basic “being-ness” of Cellular Respiration and fluid nature of our internal movement through the Sponging & Pulsation, we are ready to move in a more structured way, a bit like a starfish. Before we were born, we received our nourishment through the navel. In this pattern, every limb is connected through the navel. 

Discover your 6 limbs - a head, a tail, 2 arms & 2 legs that are all equal and connected and through your centre.  NR is essential for each of our limbs to be differentiated and integrated. Here, we begin to develop Proprioception (sense of position in space and knowing where body parts are in relation to one another) and Kinesthesia (sense of movement of the body as a whole and parts), hence without the NR, later patterns will be weakened. Due to its connection to and from the centre, NR will affirm our sense of essential self and what drives the movement arises internally and less about external intention. 

What a fantastic way to re-affirm or discover our belly centred sense of self!
