Body over mind

I found the body over mind excercise very interesting as it was a very weird way of exploring my body and its natural movements and emotions. When first told to just stand and respond how your body wants to, I was still confused as to how or what I was actually supposed to do. I was not so confused about the actual instruction but when the music started playing, I think I simply began to over think about what I had to do to the music. This feeling eventually passed and I began to 'embrace' the music. When in this state I did not find myself naturally moving very much to the beat apart from a slighthead nod/sway. During the duration of the music I found I did loose track of time due to a mixture of me listening to the music and the constant repeat of the song. Though after hearing that the song was on for 20+ mins I was not suprised as I did basic maths in my head. When watching the footage of the changes in the room I was surprised and interested at the same time to see the different levels of changes that everyone went through in the room. I found it facinating to see how differently music effectseveryone, as I stood still with a slight sway where as some people in the room were huddled in a ball or squirming around the floor.
