Soft Spine Pattern

Moving on from the mouthing pattern (sea squirt) to soft spine pattern. The Lancelet. Three tubes down the centre of the body.

Digestive - A long tube connected from mouth to anus.
Notochord - Soft tissue that eventually becomes the little discs in the spine
Neural tube - Eventually becomes the brain and spinal chord

All of these are what allow for sequential movement, fluidity and awareness of back, middle and front within the centre line.

Connected but loosely, soft and supple with inner tubes connecting head to tail. Using the soft spine imagery I am able to work closely with the head to tail connection with renewed ease.
