Gravity can be my friend

Multiple sclerosis makes me gravity aware whether I am upright, moving, sitting, or lying down. This past year I fell four times, only once with anything broken.

I find that tai chi points to ways of putting gravity to work for me. I explore gravity in tai chi movements. Most of these movements use the quadriceps to support my pelvic girdle while sinking from in the inside out. For those of us gravity-challenged, YouTube clips of gravity based movements would be very helpful.
