Whether walking along a train track rail or across the top of a fence, having your arms outstretched helps you maintain your balance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Whether walking a tightrope or a wall or a rafter, stretching your arms out from your sides seems to help keep you on the rope, wall, or rafter.<\/p>\n Why? Or is it all an illusion?<\/p>\n Unaided, a person\u2019s center of balance is located just beneath their ribcage, about halfway from the ground to the top of a person\u2019s head. This means that we balance from this part of our bodies. Carrying a long pole lowers our center of balance, just as holding out our arms to the sides does. If the pole is long enough, a person\u2019s center of balance can be lowered to their knees, ankles or even the tops of their feet. A lower center of balance makes it easier for anyone to balance while walking across even a narrow rope.<\/p>\n Center of Balance<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n To get along well in life<\/strong>, we need a good sense of balance — physically, mentally, socially, spiritually.
