Balancing externally instead of internally

Saturday, I tutored a young lady and am reminded to share about balance.  Often when learners struggle they need to spend their time and energy working to balance.  This is done when care and energy is taken to balance when it should be done automatically.  She was on the balance board and throwing a ball at the number board.  I noticed she was working to hold her arm behind her to help with balance.  This takes away some of her concentration energy to learn. I explained that she needed to relax her arm at her side to learn to balance internally instead of using her learning energy to balance, This is a big part of what I teach.
