POSE
Strike a pose with skill,
Hold it with your will.
Find thethrill,
In keeping completely still.
Loose hips and lithe muscles
Are now the norm.
With flexibility,
Take any form.
About this card
The body is a machine designed for motion, not stag-nation. Pose summons the contortionist within and challenges us to stretch our limbs and adapt to new positions. Beyond spine and limbs, Pose also teaches dexterity in thinking, urging us to let go of tired ideas and leave stilted, stubborn ways of being behind.
Remember: The most constant force we face is change itself. The ability to adapt is critical to your adventure.
Position your hips and mind accordingly.
