Oils from plant, earth, sun and how we interact!

Similarity of plant and human cellular structure, the life force actions and processes of the body for necessary healthy functioning, with the interactions of plant constituents and essences.

We have developed mechanisms of survival and daily functioning with interactions and use of plants for food or medicinal purposes since our existence. Chemicals and substances in our bodies exist because of these interactions with plants (enzymes, hormones and other necessary compounds). Our shared cellular and chemical makeup because of this interaction is important reason for our existence and continuing existence. Without plants making their chemical and structural makeup striving for their survival from photosynthesis and the oxygen they provide to earth’s atmosphere we would not be created nor exist. This is a fact! And if not for our similar makeup/origin we would not be able to function as we know.

Oils, health care and foods

Long blog that gets into conventional medicine’s relative short history, mainstream approach to health and how many industries (health, food, medicine, science etc) have taken advantage of public’s lack of knowledge or feeling overwhelmed with vast amounts of information. So break this stuff up in parts if too long. But it is useful and true!

I’m just trying to get people caught up a little with western/conventional medicine trend(s). To make better decisions for self. Think of rest of this info as snippets into today’s healthcare system before you start dealing with insurance companies. Or don’t read rest of this info and just do authentic essential oils and exercise and we will all be fine.

Damage theories are basically theories of how we die, get ill or bring on our own health issues. Conventional and western medicine sparse disease down to parts or molecules so free radicals lie at the heart of most of our ailments. I’ll try to bring more detail to this in other writings but think of it as more cultural and today than over all time and space.

(Free radical, cross linking, radiation, DNA repair, oxidative stress, immune, membrane, waste accumulation, calorie, etc.) Free radicals are Molecules with unpaired electrons in outer shell. Gerschman in late 50's identified for first time. Championed ever since by biochemist Denham Harman of University of Nebraska.

This fits neatly with the approach of chemistry and conventional medicine over the last 100 years with advent of periodic table envisioned by Dmitri Mendeleev. Cool story by the way how he came up with this chemical/mathematical table which is based in periodic consistencies.

Going a little further back 250 years or so there is a gentleman considered to be father of chemistry, Antoine Laurent Lavoisier. He was summarized his or that of chemistry in the following at the time "Nothing is lost, Nothing is created. Everything is transformed." Hence two laws that have significant strength in science community- Conservation of Matter and Energy. Both go something like Lavoisier's Law. Matter can neither be created or destroyed. It can only be transformed. Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. It can only be transformed, also known as "The first law of thermodynamics." These laws lead to Einstein's (E=mc2) to restate matter and energy are equivalent.

This is stated to demonstrate power of science and it's community of respected law. As well as outreaching affect in our medicine and the approach to health over relatively short period of human and plant interactions. Sometimes, especially here in the United States, we like to think nothing existed before us or human innovation and invention will cure all our problems. We also tend to ignore facts of history to suit our needs. Like the fact that we were all eating and benefitting from plants for many thousands of years before commercial and conventional sources of food, nutrition and medicine started marketing ‘better and cheaper foods’.

Human and societal laws can be strong and even believed in the human psyche. Yet that doesn't change natural laws like we eat living entities like plants and animals for our substance, survival and well being. We have again been doing this since human existence. Our bodies have adapted certain mechanisms and systems of function based on our interactions with these real foods, the primary (metabolites) sources of energies like protein, fat and carbohydrates. These big molecules many of us have heard of or follow to some extent for nutritional guidance. There are other molecules or subsets of energy from chemistry standpoint that we have been utilizing in these foods, particularly plants and these smaller molecules have names like functional group, secondary metabolites and can be further classified through chemistry and biology circles.

When I first came across the term secondary metabolites awhile back I got confused on the classification and vast terminologies shared by chemistry and biology circles. To make it more understandable in science circles you tend to make it more confusing in essence or simple life terms. In science a secondary metabolite might be defined as energy from food or substance that can not be further broken down in elemental form but is utilized by our bodies on a molecular basis for maintenance and interaction with outside world.

I might be screwing it up for you even more? From a historical perspective we today are eating a lot of boxed, labeled, not natural foods which as little as 100 years ago had not entered any human. Ailments and disease can actually easily be traced back to these new substances or disconnect from nature. There is more to what I want to achieve by educating more but before that I would like to mention the study of chemistry and electrical exchanges between atoms, involving only their shells of electrons and is not directly concerned with activities involving their nuclei. Hopefully you remember a little bit of what was mentioned earlier in regards to free radicals and agents of damage or disease.

Those laws and policies of looking at disease or malfunctions and ailments of body through chemistry and what shows up in pharmacy, hospital or on our grocery shelves can dictate how we nourish, heal and maintain our bodies whether we are thinking about it or not. Much like how we don't sit around calculating, feeling or sensing how activities directly affect our bodies. Most of us don't eat a meal and sit there for next 4-10 hours thinking the food through digestion, absorption and finally elimination. But these factors are relevant to our health, wellbeing and survival.

Powerful oxidizing agents resulting in normal reactions involving cellular respiration. Oxygen being most prevalent free radical found in body. When not kept in check by antioxidants all kinds of degenerative problems arise- cancer, atherosclerosis, cataracts, Alzheimer's, immune deficiency, neurological disorders, and osteoarthritis.

Hard and dried up, brittle, un-oil like

Cell membrane is made of oil - phospholipid mostly, protein sites and cholesterol

Damaging cells via hardening membranes, damaging cell membrane proteins, destroying DNA and DNA mutations, lipid peroxidation, white blood cells (immune cells), hardening nuclear membranes and lysosomes (intracellular particles that contain digestive enzymes)

Molecular trash!

Cross linking fusing DNA and protein molecules becoming stiff and lacking function.

From stress, normal cellular activity, psychological and physical stress, and environmental factors- food, chemicals, pesticides, toxic waste etc.

First line of defense protective enzymatic activity and antioxidants

Free radicals contained by being trapped or isolated by not seeking out neighboring cells then metabolized and turned into harmless paired oxygen or simply water (liver function). Dietary (nonenzyme compounds) produce similar effect. Essential oil activity basically trillions of H-C-O being introduced to body to provide this function.

Cells start the self destroying process if this continues more energy is burned/needed for important activities. Self repair energy and clean up is being sacrificed along with energy to keep free radical at bay and disease sets in from molecular level outward to existing cell structure of area (heart, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, dementia, weakened immune system...

Systemic study- respiratory, immune, lymph, skin, nervous etc.

Phytonutrients

Phytochemical and functional food components associated with prevention and treatment of many leading causes of death- cancer, diabetes and heart disease.

Phytochemical are actively used by pharmaceutical companies in many of their products.

The field is slow to develop and will take a long time to scientifically prove because companies are reluctant to finance clinical trials and testing that is required by FDA approval, as of 1999 nearly $200 million was needed to properly study, perform and tabulate necessary procedures and guidelines to prove a substance can go on market. This seems foolish when trying to prove plants are good for you. And since you can't get a patent for food or plants, companies are reluctant. You would then have to create a synthetic component of a phytochemical, which seems silly when you already have it in a food.

As well as the prevalent nature of study and research wanting to find the one component (reductionary nature) to sell and PR or market. There isn't money in PR for natural food or word of mouth good products. This profit hunger is seen in advertising for McDonald's and all those companies that go great lengths to advertise ‘natural’, when nothing that is labeled with word natural actually means natural. Read any label on food, drink or essential oil product and the more they try to convince you it is natural the more sure you can be it is not!

Systemic approaches for essential oils

Our combined bodies, mind and soul/spirit have parts and systems which do various work for us and when out of balance create avenues of disease. Homeostasis is a word used by conventional medicine or science to describe our inner workings and balance of these systems. Like cardio-vascular, respiratory, urinary or digestive to name a few. Each one of these systems and relative parts like kidneys, blood vessels or intestines are main players in our systems which are part of our whole. Each one of these systems has an effect on our whole body as well as our mind and hence spirit or soul.

This isn't new info. It's been known for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine and other eastern forms. The systemic science and research of western conventional medicine is deeply set in understanding and applying this knowledge to medicine and health fields.

What is relatively new is the bringing together of this information with natural substances like those in essential oils of plants and legitimizing it in today's societal framework. Essential oils are not new. These substances have been in plants before we could imagine. We have built our systems around these substances. Much of the monetary and political power drive of our societies have left the miraculous nature of these oils on the back shelf.

It has not become feasible by those in power in present day to benefit from keeping plants organic, authentic or fucked with a little to provide a global economic opportunity for those involved. Some of this might lead back to human nature and trade business for thousands of years. Not to get to historical but spice trades and slave trades and economic dependency on these or similar acts of economic power and currency have been part of our past.

Maybe the slowness of creating a fair and equitable process for authentic-pure plant oils is due to this perdictamint. With that said and keeping it in mind for industry's evolving like cannabis being legalized and seeing the health benefits which can be utilized it seems to be pertinent to discuss the benefits of essential oils. One last thing about human intervention and societal demands of money before going straight to plant oil benefits. The new business of legal cannabis/marijuana is bringing to light the powers to be in economic realms and the influence this has upon legit organic plant business. You can see the direct influence of govt and political power that is stearing the industry towards people and business with financial well being. Licenses are being out priced by the mom/pop small business and directed towards big business and problems within these organizations. This drastically affects the purity, spiritualness or soul of the end result substance.

Some of the same well intentional endeavors to find medicines for people's ailments involves industries like insurance, govt and powers that be which bring the direction back to money and power. This is hard for small business to fight when they are also trying to make a living. That's enough said for now, hopefully you get an idea of the importance or complications involved for now.

Back to medical or health basics and the importance of systemic understanding of our bodies and minds. The study of ailments and disease brings us full circle to physiology (body functions). Our mentioned systems and body parts and relations to our pycholology or minds is what brings about a balance or imbalance. Balance we feel good. Imbalance of these parts of us as whole beings brings disease. Whether our kidneys malfunction, our spirits are low because of a relationship, our mentality is hurt because of our cultural position or some other function our body performs while we are too business thinking about something less important it all circles back to health and how we can nurture our own.

Substances in plant oils have been known to heal and have been manipulated by some who know this fact. Staying positive and hollaring out the benefits is what is needed. There are substances in plant oils that stimulate us, uplift us, calm us and nurture good feelings. Knowing that these oils do this we should continue to explore more. These plant essences relieve digestive issues by calming nerves that stimulate actions in digestive system. They stimulate defense mechanisms in our immune systems to keep infections at bay. That modify our hormones which play a role in keeping us from going ballistic or depressed.

This can be understood to even greater extents with research and science but still holds true so we don't have to wait for proof. When u take an oil through skin, mouth or nose you don't have to wait for the doctor, govt or mainstream folk to say you feel better, you just do. When we already know essential oils help modify infections and disease through various systems and or parts of our bodies we should not wait around for those who say hold on wait for the news to write an article or what will our mainstream friends say or tease us about feeling good.

Science speaking each one of our systems is benefitted by oils and the constituent essences in them. Urinary, reproductive, endocrine(hormones), respiratory and all other systems and parts of those systems like liver, pancreas, lungs, heart and all others are benefitted and in many ways have been affected through an evolutionary and natural way of consuming these plants and their beneficial substances in during human existence.

For those who want me or others to inform more, I will and know others who have and will continue. For others who don't like my mode of communication, do oils of plants referred to as essential. They are just that essential. Experience and appreciate!

Awareness of Functioning Body

Coordinating body and mind! Various methods and systems utilized: • Yoga • Pilates • Tai Chi • Feldenkrais/Thomas - awareness thru movement strategies • Active Isolated Stretching and Strengthening- Mattes/Benjamin • Core functional/structural focused • Dance • Sport specific training How the body and mind work together as one entity to move in a controlled manner. Using this awareness creates a fuller more easy moving body. As this connection becomes more controllable general fitness and health become more attainable. This becomes an easier path way of communication between the brain, body and nervous system. This control and awareness spreads into other areas or systems of one's life and body. The techniques and procedures focus on your mind and body communicating cognitively (alert) to be aware of how the Body works and what movement patterns will help for your condition or desired goal. This cognitive alertness creates a beneficial energy pattern. When this is achieved a better awareness of yourself and body become easier to control. This leads to a healthier self. More awareness is generated and more energy is utilized to your benefit. Your body is a whole system connected to the nervous and muscle system as well as other systems but from a functional movement pattern I will just talk about the nervous system and the muscle system. Your main question to yourself is something like: how optimal is my ability to move and control my body the way I want to or need to as stress-free as possible? More awareness shows up, alleviates pain and makes moving easier. The techniques used have basic knowledge of how the muscles and body work together. With this practice and knowledge you can dictate how you want to alleviate your pain or stress patterns as well as improve on overall life fitness goals like enjoying and being in more appropriate control of your own body! Be alert, aware of you your body, people around you, plants, animals, the air you breath, and factors that directly and indirectly affect you the earth we live on and any and all other factors that are part of our lives and reasons we are here.

Healing strategies

Strategies and Protocols for using oils: People have used oils throughout history and within various societal frameworks. Hunters and gatherers started using oils eating and ingesting plants and letting metabolism/digestion take over and tell us what is good and bad. This process and mechanisms that play role in process of metabolism and digestion are being studied in various fields of science. Essential oils to us are secondary metabolites of nature/plant before we ingest it. The fibers, proteins, carbohydrates, fats and relative mass of the plant is stripped away in digestion or the distilling process of producing oils from plant. This by product of essentially just the oil component of the plant is what is referred to or studied as an essential oil. This is what we utilize and there are many theories and possibilities for how to benefit the most/best from these oils. Some of these theories can be useful or concepts you gravitate towards. If so then use. If not then make up your own strategy or plan with which to benefit from using oils. • Chinese medical Aromatherapy- classic traditional Chinese medicine influences • French-style: three step infection method- 1. support elimination of toxins ( cleansing mucous membranes of pus, liver support and various other immune or pathogen/toxification mechanisms) 2. Eliminate residual pathogens old and new (cleaning up or taking out trash) 3. Supporting convalescence - maintaining health and supporting a deep sense of feeling good (differentiation, adaptive ways of living life). A structure effect model or structure and energy map. Chemical make up and constituent knowledge of plant and awareness of how particular compounds work with other compounds in our bodies. • English-style- caution and mixing guide based on structure effect • Folk methods- history, experimentation of local plants and good old mom/pop and neighborhood shaman • Systemic- physiological understanding of human systems, how those systems affect the terrain or mechanisms of body and dealing with one or more of these systems at a time. Ex: psycho-neuro-immunology • Multi component and multi target awareness of body and plant working together through bioactivity- a little deeper than biochemistry studies of real time possibilities. Layers • Time tested • Laymens advice • Cultural and ethnobiological studies or awareness and information protocols • Good old remedies • Individual preferences • PMS blending - illumination, purgative, unity • Deeper analysis of various strategies of health and cultural practices of acceptance and main goal of health and happiness practices • Sensory and smell analysis- olfactory and 5 senses • Spiritual and energetic systems • Applications of meridians and chakra areas • Lifestyle, basic hygiene and awareness-prevention-enhancement techniques

Essential oils

Little bit or a lot of science It is important to keep in mind that these oils are part of life itself. Chemically and biologically speaking humans and plants are very similar. From an evolutionary perspective we descended from plants and the eukaryotes cells. This similarity in cell structure explains many mechanisms we share and how our similar basic make up helps create a more vibrant or mutual benefit between us and plants. It is a fact that much of what plants and humans are is a combination of mostly three elements. Hydrogen, carbon and oxygen in some combination or another that makes up roughly 90% of our physical structure. Delving deeper into this scientific realm explains the use and importance of these chemical elements and more closely the particular functional group of H-C-O. These elements are seen prevalently in chemical formulas that describe most all our processes. This means cellular communication ( how our body talks at microscopic level) is more optimal when these substances are present. When these specific building block functional groups are lacking processes and systems of our bodies are most often negatively affected. Other areas have to work harder, our reserves are tapped or the cells themselves become sick or dirty and eventually die. Culture care and science systems Ancestors, relatives and people throughout the world use and have used plants to nourish, feel better and essentially exist. Our bodies being composed mostly of these three elements hydrogen, carbon and oxygen is why these oils are referred to as 'essential' scientifically speaking. This source is essential for us to consume and utilize for a multitude of emotional, neurological, immune and most all natural activity that takes place in our bodies like digestion, liver or detox scenarios, emotional/energetic and on and on. Many of today's diets at least in USA are lacking natural and living processes. We tend to get nourishment from fake or processed foods and substances put together by people with economic ideals at the forefront rather than natural living and healing intentions. This is where creating a better picture or grasp of this knowledge can come in handy when reversing the patterns that are part of our infections, imbalances of various physiological systems like detoxing, digestion, respiratory and all other systems are bodies are dealing with and functioning from on an ever present scale. Living with, rekindling and using these oils benefits us all. Mentally, Spiritually, Psychologically, Physiologically, Emotionally and as well as from a societal and economic structure. Be more conscious and familiar with the essence and substance that goes into your body especially with ones you use on everyday basis or for medicinal purposes. Hopefully this endeavor will help remind you and be better equipped to individually use these oils to your benefit. Individual likes and benefits Getting to know new plant oils and better acquaint yourself with oils is step in right direction. There are plenty of options, tastes, and similarities within oils. Remember the big one being the HCO network of all. This is why we can use the same oil for different modes of action. I won't get to deep yet but from a science perspective and naysayer kind of attitude think secondary metabolite and the natural effects or workings of metabolism. You don't have to go deep if you don't want to. It will just be here later in more of an well thought out or researched manner to provide assurance to those on the fence. With these said and with much logic and information to back it up you can comfortably without fear or indecision begin to use essential oils of plants for energy, enjoyment and medicinally. Words like genuine, therapeutic and authentic will let you know to proceed safely and enjoyably. Therapeutic, Genuine, Authentic When I taut oils and how or why you should use them I'm referring to this category specifically. The healing and living properties of plants are best used when not f'ed with or messed with. Legit and as few hands as possible in the transaction is ideal. This means get to now your source and trust them. This really isn't a big company heavily industrialized means of thinking. No Walmart or big profiteering companies because the better off the product the more pure or left out of the profit scale of how many us tend to buy from. Cheaper here really isn't better. It is highly likely the cheaper the essential oil when compared by a standard authentic oil the more likely the cheaper oil has been tainted with or is really not genuinely appropriate to use for healing or body ingestion. Making money is ok. The first intent in this field and industry should be healing and health. We see this in all industries or professions. There will be products out there with profit first intention. I would like you to be informed as well as possible to see or know the legitimate nature of an oil. Be able to see how trickle down economics has affected the authenticity of ingestible products like food, hygiene products and medicine. Digging deeper through experience and know how beneficial outcomes when necessary can be achieved. These beneficial outcomes range from feeling better, helping belly work better, making infections want to leave or not stay, rejuvenate energy, improve balance and few more hundred scenarios when talking health and healing your body, mind and soul. So keep using and get better at knowing more about these oils for yourself and others in your life.

Function, physiology, systems and fluid transport.

Our bodies are too complex to understand and articulate to others with societal differences in any given moment. It is like saying you mastered golf or you have the answers to everything. That doesn't stop us from trying to developing ways that communicate ideas and processes our bodies go through. People in science, religion and philosophy make their living on explaining the wonders of life. With that said I'll give a little walk through of life running through and making up our bodies. Elements like carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are running through our bodies coming together to make particles like amino acids, neurotransmitters larger structures like proteins which still make up larger structures like cells and snow balling into even larger complexes like tissues and organs until you reach a full organism like the human body. Then from this human body you can break down or up functional segments of systems and give them names like cardiovascular, respiratory or digestive and explain how energy processes happen in our lives like breathing, blood/fluid transfer and digestion occur. From here you can then give someone a better picture of how or maybe even why something is occurring in One's own particular body and suggest methods of movement to alleviate pain or deeper explanations of actions occurring in the body and how living or recently living energies like plants and animals can energize and medicate our own bodies to stimulate growth or prevent breakdown of structure. All living or life force qualities scientifically speaking have elements we need for survival. Those hydrogens and carbons and obviously oxygen and some 20 more in less abundance. Whether your life force is a virus, snake, flower, insect, dog or human you need these elements in some form or another to provide life. Creating and understanding combinations of particularly the three (hydrogen, carbon and oxygen) will go a long ways to sustained and better functioning of ones body. These functions include systemic processes like breathing, digestion and transporting blood throughout our bodies and creating a better feel or understanding of how that might be working along with our outside life like friends, family, neighborhoods, city, country and world. So it is a picture of our bodies and how each is interacting and living in this world we are apart of. Bugs, plants, people, animals, oxygen and all other matter that is what this world is. How these entities interact or react to one another and how that might affect you personally. Whether it be your diet of "wholesome" food or pesticide or some other modified food source, whether your neighborhood has nice stores, whether your country is stressed out from politics, or maybe the weather from one place in the world blows in some new source of energy with regards to clean air or foggy thoughts. Physiologically speaking we have systems in our bodies which perform our body experiences. These systems cross over and affect other systems in our bodies affecting us as a whole person. These systems have organs and glands like kidneys, lungs, liver, thyroid, and adrenals which are made of tissues comprised of cells which are still yet made up of other substances in the building block process. Proteins, cholesterol, phospholipids are all necessary substances that make up our cells. Each of these have building block agents like amino acids and other hydrogen, carbon and oxygen derivatives. So maybe some of you can pick up on this cue and utilize for yourself the knowledge of our systems (human, societal and natural) and use substances like plant oils for medicine or stretches and exercises to help blood flow or other functioning parts of our bodies to help control or make us feel better!

Essential components of oils

Isoprene unit (C5H8): is the most fundamental and frequently found functional group in the living tissues of all plants and animals! Molecules built of isoprenes are classified into terpenes: mono, sesqui, di, tri, tetra (1,1.5,2,3,4) respectively. These molecules are implicated in almost every interaction between plant and animal, plant and plant, or plant and microorganism. Dominates the chemical ecology (world) of natural products participating in diverse substances and activities including: vitamin A, E, K, cannabis, pollination, plant defenses, hormones, pheromones, immune & neurotransmitter responses happening in our bodies on continuous basis. Isoprenes H-C functional groups link up to form the most common class of chemical compounds found in essential oils: the terpene unit and its oxygenated derivatives: alcohols, esters, aldehydes, ketones, oxides. Phenols and phenylpropanoids are also hydrocarbon structures or compounds including an oxygen found in essential oils but do not have same isoprene-terpene functional group component or structural capacity. These two main functional group forms within oils maintain our three most abundant elements (Hydrogen, Carbon and Oxygen) necessary for human, plant, animal and microorganism life. The abundant work in chemical, science, medicine and professional jargon associated with these fields or similar working spectrums like biology or physics are greatly affected by these three elemental structures, formulas and activity (frequencies, resonance). Energy, life and activity separates living matter (stuff) from other stuff (matter). How we use this living matter to energize us and much of this based on this shared H-C-O elemental necessity. The elemental combinations of structures, formulas and energetic frequencies are most definitely apart of how we see energy and life forces shared throughout the world. These three elements with nitrogen and sulfur are important to life entities and play roles in demonstrating or explaining how we utilize energy to sustain health. Formula and mathematically speaking along with electromagnetic frequency explanations arise from areas not so well understood by all. H-1, C-6, O-8, N-7 and S-16. These are AMU symbols. These are representations of size and structure of elements. This becomes apparent to health fields and professionals involved to help explain energy transfers like eating, food, metabolism or medicine. Much is done and excepted in lines of these elements being apart of our life. Understanding this can explain things we know like fruits and vegetables are good for us and those which we don't like how and why plants are beneficial to us and how to better use them as food and medicine.

Hip Flexors

Blog Hip Flexors- Deep and Superficial Hip flexors are various muscles that are located in and around the the pelvis, waist, abdomen and the front of the thighs. Depending how each is engaged results in a flexion of the hip region. The thigh is most often lifted in some manner. Depending on classification and/or body position flexion at waist is also a product. When isolated or looked at seperate from the rest of the body this 'lift' of the hip or raise of the leg is their main function. To help simplify actions of the body we break down or seperate it into regions, parts or specific muscles. On the whole the body doesn't necessarily move like this (machine or lever like) but it can help understand movement a little better when we break it down like this. But keep in mind there are other factors that do play roles in the body's entire movement pattern. Just like the golf swing can be broken down into segments to look at the whole. The backswing or follow through is necessary to produce the whole swing. Without one you wouldn't have a swing, yet having one good part of the swing won't produce one good golf shot. We need to look at the part of the hip flexors and the role they play and how this might affect the swing or more importantly your body in that swing. Most people aren't lifting their legs up and down during their golf swing. The action of these muscles act more like stabilizers or balance mechanisms during the swing. So lifting of the legs might seem like a waste of time but it is one way to strengthen this area. Which again acts as more of a stabilizing agent for the pelvis during your swing.  I'm getting there. In this scenario the pelvis is the boat floating on the water. The water being the leg/hip connection. The torso and upper body is more like the engine or person operating the boat. I'm just trying to get you to the importance and role of the hip flexors in daily life as well as the golf swing. In a majority of our lifes we sit at a desk or in some way are hinged from are hips in a relaxed way. This region is either not fully engaged as we sit or too bent forward to perform a golf swing. So without getting even more winded a lot of the training I recommend is postural and for many of us, depending where we are in our training, this means extension back to promote proper length in this region. Again our sitting lifestyles promote a short hip flexion region. At least shorter than when we are in a golf swing position.  Strength in this area is important for stability and control but so to will be length so this area will not be compressed. We need to have the bouyance of the water for our plevis to swivel through. The boat on ground would only have friction. We need the lift of the water yet the support of it for a boat to move.
