Jewel in the hand plucking a peach: audio

This simple movement can be done sitting or standing. It is a way of learning to raise your arm along a path of least resistance, starting with your hand near your mouth, then allowing the rotation of the arm to facilitate it extending. Find a way to be attentive to exploring the subtle details of the movement, beginning with the hand and wrist spiralling up and out, following the trajectory that brings a continuous uniform movement.
Imagining plucking a peach, then mindfully reversing the movement, bringing this succulent prize back to your mouth: how satisfying!!
