Wanted to re-share this, because it can be life-changing. Notice how this hawk's head is absolutely still, even while its body is doing the most extreme movements. Its attention never wavers from what it's looking at. Bodies are elastically-sprung to release into movement, following our attention. You can try this in any activity, have your attention on what you're doing, and *simultaneously* (must be simultaneous) feel your body releasing to follow your attention out into the world. Not 2 activities - paying attention and moving your body - one, integrated activity of your body elastically releasing to follow your attention. At the same time you will lose all feelings of weight and effort, which aren't caused by gravity, but by you trying to do your movement as a separate thing to paying attention.
