How to Relieve Body Tension
Tension is ruinous to beauty. We lack grace of movement if we are tense, we do not walk or dance well; we look strained, and our And, accord- speech lacks charm.
ing to Gertrude Walsh, who has written a successful book on speech improvement, most of us don't know how to relax!
"We don't know how to open our bodies, how to loosen tension," she warns, "and the result is that we have cramped personalities." I shall quote her instructions how to correct this fault:

There is a reason for every action of every muscle. When a muscle is READY to act, then you are ready to perform in good form. It's as muchi mental as physical.
