Body Waves

Excerpts from Dr. Milton Trager’s Trager Mentastics: Movement as a Way to Agelessness

All movements on the earth—waters, winds or living creatures—follow the undulating curvature of a wave. Sound and light exist as waves with specific frequency and length. Mentastic movements create wave-like shimmerings that resonate through the body and have a loosening and lightening effect on both the body and mind.

…

An ageless body is one that gracefully moves through space. It remains true to its wave-nature with movements that are flowing and confident, not rigid and cautious. The body is carried along comfortably, its posture naturally aligned without appearing bent and defeated under stress and the pull of gravity. Such a body is beautiful at any age!
