See book keywords and concepts |  Any strength and flexibility imbalance causes a lower capability of working and moving, because of a lower level of active contracting and a higher level of passive resistance created by little-used muscles.
As you can see in Figure 2.2, optimal muscular movement, or its optimal active working (contracting), can be performed when the muscle is in optimal length range. A chronically contracted muscle or, conversely, a too-stretched muscle, can't perform its function of action/reaction/movement optimally. |

Nonviolent Revolution

See book keywords and concepts |  The Tantric Key to Transmuting Energy
It's like an internal version of Gandhi's passive resistance strategy. You refuse to be moved, and the immense power that is mobilized around that refusal tends to get transmuted. Only here, it's all playing out inside you. Your past actions are prompting for continuation, but you're declining to cooperate, to accede to the impulse. All the force connected with that behavior, and more, builds and builds the longer you decline. Finally it turns into liquid fire—a potent stream of powerful energy. |
