In standing you get a sense of how the body is responding in gravity. Starting with the hands on the shoulders gives you a sense of what the body wants to do with gravity in the picture. How does that energy flow down into their legs? Are they grounding? You can check the flow again in supine and see if anything changes.
Is it better to assess energy flow with the client standing as demonstrated, or can it also be done laying down?
