The Head Engine, fueled by the Mind, maps the sequence of muscular contractions and releases throughout the whole body with specificity of Heart Engine receiving and delivering intended impulses through awareness of 3 key levels throughout the level playing field.<br />
<br />
Resistance in the Mind to allow mental and physical changes must be acknowledged and managed. <br />
Resistance in the Body felt as inertia must be released and redirected toward ease of natural balanced movement.<br />
<br />
Rehearsing intended delivery and intended release of mass through the key as the ultimate muscular development of the finest motor skills is Piano Technic. Observing this interaction of man and machine allows for understanding Sound Feeling 2 ways. The Current goes both ways. The signal from and back to the Mind is clear when there is no perceived resistance physically, only the Key’s inertia accelerated as initially intended.<br />
<br />
These Current Events happen sub consciously after conscious muscular rehearsal of clearest signals becomes automatic.davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11959623033936719940noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394730727059547419.post-33600328493874750132020-06-03T11:59:00.000-07:002020-06-03T11:59:40.415-07:00200602Piano Fitness is Currentdavidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11959623033936719940noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394730727059547419.post-36609395338066041982020-06-01T13:26:00.004-07:002020-06-01T14:18:46.247-07:00200601 Piano Fitness' Practice FundamentalsPiano Fitness' Piano Fundamentals<br />

heart engine balances when the fingertips, on the earth through the keys, connect pob to surface, pos and keyed as intended by the head engine.<br />
<br />
the mind maps the three engines and their connections to the earth and delivers intended mass through pos/pob. stable creativity in the hip engine powers up the heart engine to reproduce the intended sound in the head engine.<br />

<br />
since 1/23/2020 the map to the 2nd fingers staying flexed by observing a different hand posture in relation to the leader to the rest of the fingers has been steadily improving. <br />
<br />
today, with the inclusion of the chinese medicine channels for each finger<br />
<br />
leader- lungs<br />
2nd - large intestine - creativity<br />
middle- paracardium - heart protector<br />
4th - fluidity- lymphatic system- fluid balance<br />
helper- heart/small intestine<br />
<br />
the mind maps the body connections consciously with breath and 4 counts<br />
<br />
playing the piano is the perfect balance of the human machine connecting to the most complex human powered machine. <br />
the mind maps at the point of sound (count 4) with the point of balance (parasympathetic awareness) at fingertip connections.<br />
<br />
starting with breath awareness at this pos/pob connection:<br />
<br />
count 1 releases whole arm into keyed<br />
count 2 awareness of pob on keyed<br />
count 3 release to key surface of next hand position<br />
count 4 awareness of pos/pob in this hand position.<br />
<br />
beginning with helpers on lowest and highest notes-port te bra position # 1 on the piano playing field.<br />
repeat 4 count pattern with both arms inward until position #22 -the middle of the piano (E/F) and then outward to position #1. <br />
<br />
find the position that is most comfortable for each armii- it may not be the same for both sides<br />
with eyes closed, 3rd eye observations of breath and 4 count connections for all 22 position inward and outward,<br />
<br />
<br />
the fundamental intention-make NO SOUND AT ALL !<br />
<br />
pure awareness of parasympathetic nervous system includes all points where the body is connected to the earth-<br />
feet/hips/fingertips<br />

George Bernard Shaw<br />
<br />
piano fitness' postural fundamentals originate from the 7 spinal energy centers, or <i>sec,</i> found in the three zones of the body. the hips and heart include 2 secs each, the head 3 secs. the self, with the mind, can choose to observe the energy of life travel up the front spine and down the back spine with each breath. the spine is designed to receive and deliver the weight of the head, heart and hips into the FRONT of the spine seeking balance. when balancing these 3 zones three ways (bottom/top, front/back, side to side) the mind connects through the brain into the body's two nervous systems:<br />
<br />
sympathetic - fight or flight mode<br />
para-sympathetic - rest and digest mode<br />
<br />
activating awareness of these 2 nervous systems infinitely improves with MINDFUL BREATHING.<br />
mindful breathing creates awareness of learning to listen WITH the brain/body connection. with this awareness we become conscious of the tight sympathetic muscles which are promoting imbalance in the whole body. sympathetic muscles unconsciously waste the body's energy holding this tension.<br />
mindful breathing through the brain/body connection observes the muscles releasing tension and results in changing both the mind and body at the same time, while simultaneously freeing the energy for mindfully finding the 3 balances in the 3 zones and activating the parasympathetic nervous system to promote balanced soft strength.<br />
