When you sit or stand anywhere for long periods, stop trying to hold or fix yourself in any way - up, forward, back - whatever. Feel everything that happens in your body as it learning to effortlessly balance without you interfering. Like learning to ride a bike. It doesn't take long to start to feel every tension and pressure in your body as it subtly adjusting and learning to keep you effortlessly upright. Just as we do when learning to ride, we don't try to adjust anything in our body, we just have the intent to ride, have our attention on where to go and the body does the rest, by itself. We fight those tensions and feelings every day when sitting and standing, not realising we're getting in the way of our own body trying to balance for us.
