Participants begin by sitting to identify the center line of their long bones through gentle finger pressure. Shifting to lying on the front, they use their imagination to track a weighted ball rolling along diagonal paths between the limbs and spine. The practice culminates in subtle rocking movements to guide the ball's path using the whole body.
