A Solution
My ribs stick out as well, i was born this way, so do my dads, so do my brothers. The thing is, i'm learning it's not impossible to reduce/remedy this.. it's all about stretching. The thing is i don't know if my ribs stick out or if my back is too tight so that my rib-cage doesn't sit completely centered, do you follow? Maybe i learned postural behavior from my father and re-enforce that because it's all i know.
Over the last year i've been stretching a lot more, i do a lot of back stretches, yoga, hand stands, its dope, everything is balancing out, as i stretch my back it gives my ribcage more room to sit more evenly in my frame. You don't need a brace or some kind of surgery, our body is wrapped in muscle ready to be a 'living' brace to allow any shape you want. The important part is the mind-body connection. Look in the mirror, rock out to the image you see, stretch and sculpt and move until it looks dope as hell, and then keep it up. Every chance you get - position yourself the way you'd rather have our body sit, and you will feel all sorts of tight areas, those tight areas are preventing it from being the way you're positioning it. BREATHE stretch those tight areas slowly over time. Our lungs do a lot of the work of keeping our posture in check. Imagine a sock, its slumped over, now put a balloon in the sock, and fill it half way with air, the sock will start to fill out and stand up... most people get stiff over time, adopt bad posture, and get tight in places they don't realize because they learn to move differently.
Running regularly, will force your lungs to pump and shimmy all your bones and muscles in alignment, pushing your cardio will cause your lungs to expand more than they would on any average day, and u will feel the soreness in your back, you will feel how they are stretching everything and shimmying it back into place... fill the balloon in the sock all the way and it's going to stand straight up! That's how the breath also works in yoga, you find a position that is comfortable but slightly stretching, and then you take a DEEEEEP breath and this pulls the muscles a little bit more because you're expanding from the inside, you do this over and over and its a gentle process that helps you truly stretch your muscles and maintain balance. Another important aspect is physicality. Do not simply simulate athleticism in the gym, for a truly balanced body you need to BE athletic, and this can mean something as simple as acrobatics, try and do a hand stand, the first thing you'll notice is your balance is off, control your fall so you dont hurt yourself but you'll soon realize this is a great and easy way to build up your shoulders and forearms.. its easy to control your fall so you'll always be fine, so its a fun way to become more athletic, try your hand stands all the time, and you'll get better and better, soon it will be way easy, you'll be walking around on your hands like a gymnast, you'll start breathing and relaxing as you do it and you'll realize its a very natural way to bring your body more balance.
I feel the human body is an amazing piece of equipment, but it gets stale without proper use, celebrate your body, get into hip hop dancing, get into yoga, do some handstands, basically just try and do cool **** with your body all the time and you'll realize how much more athletic you're becoming, and how much more balanced your body is as well. Back to the point, your back will get more stretched and your ribs will shimmy into the proper alignment, your neck will elongate your legs will get stronger, they'll start pulling the proper muscles to help balance the rest.. its all gotta be used for it to be right. That's why guys with the BEST bodies are athletes, because rough and tumble athleticism embodies masculinity, and celebrates the benefits of the male form... i feel women with the BEST bodies are dancers, and symbolically it embodies femininity, and celebrates the delicate harmony and graceful balance of a feminine form...
Our bodies are totally rad and can do amazing things, no form is unchangeable it's all real time.. BE the change you desire, simulate it, wrap yourself up in it, embody it and embrace it, and it will manifest soooo fast. I have an amazing eight pack and i don't do situps, i just love the way my abs look and every time i see a mirror i'm like "yeeeh" and they're like, thats right, whats up!! and thats the mind body connection thing i'm talking about. If you look at the parts of yourself that are fat, and grab them and be like, damnit i'm fat... they wont go anywhere, because they are a part of your consciousness, if you look at the parts of your body that are dope as hell, and position yourself to look even hotter, and love it, those things are what you'll get more of.. want a perky ass, flex so its perky whenever u look in the mirror, and love ur ass, it'l soon be that way, naturally.
Do you ever see chicks who have an amazing body but their face is kinda beat? it's like, "what went wrong here??" for some reason they're loving their body and vibing out on how hot it is, and its vibing them back by getting hotter and hotter, but they're ignoring their face! they're the type of girls who probably dont really look at their face very often, and its funny because when you're interacting with them they're deflecting attention away from their face as well!!
The beat face is a RESULT of that attitude, not the source. I've seen girls i make feel beautiful TRANSFORM, completely embrace their beauty and the transformation happens very quickly!! but the key is tenacity, the more your spirit is IN your parts the more those parts will shine with vibrancy and beauty.
Most people walk around the world dragging their bodies through the elements to be destroyed... they're in the future or in some idea but out of the moment.. out of their body...dragging it behind them.. you have to be IN your body, be in every part. If you have bad circulation to your feet, FEEEEEL your feet, pay attention to your toes, you'll feel your energy move there, then you may realize that you're not focusing on some other part, because your energy is in your feet... You now notice that you don't have enough energy to be in every part of your body at the same time... you're either in your head, or in your face, or in your feet, but not in everything at once... Now you see the work you have to do, you see you have to make more life energy... more spirit energy... to be in everything all the time... by sending the energy to your feet, then doing something with your hands, you've just stretched your consciousness INSIDE your body... but its thinned out... the result... more consciousness will grow to fill in the gaps, to keep up...
Suddenly you'll be aware of more tight parts in your physical form, you'll feeeeeel where things need to be stretched, where energy pathways need to be loosened and unclogged to allow more of your lifeforce to permeate everything... your energy is now larger, it's taking up more room! Stiffened... ignored areas have no where to hide, they cannot be ignored because you're filling out your body energetically.. your not.. in one part and removed from the others... you're no longer dragging your body around to be destroyed.. you're LIVING.... you're growing, you're regenerating, you're vibrant, you're GANGSTA!! so rock out and figure out what you're gonna do with all this time here in eden!
One more thing, when you start filling out parts of your body with your life force, when you start BEING in the different parts, you realize that the different parts have ideas of their own! spend more time in your legs you'll feel the desire to run and jump and skateboard and surf and dance, spend more time in your scalp and you'll want long luxurious hair to cover your head and shoulders, blow in the wind and shade your beautiful face from the sun like a living, sparkling hood.. our bodies are our UNCONSCIOUS MIND, live more in yours, pay attention to its vibration, and you'll see life is the balance of spirit, body, and mind, not one or the other, each can only exist WITH all together. YEEEEH rock on
