You benefit by the re-education of your misuse.
By learning what up is, and when up is.
And if at first you don’t succeed, don’t just try again. Try differently.
You benefit by being alive, but not in the same way. By the improvement of poise and posture, better digestion, the easing of back pains and other aches, by reducing stress through freeing your ribs and recovering your breath.
You benefit by learning how not to make a separation between your body and your mind: they were designed to act together.
You benefit by paying attention to means, so that results surprise you. By improving your attitude. By becoming more confident. And by learning that your feelings are not a true guide to what is happening.
You benefit by sharpening your intelligence, and taking responsibility for your actions. By acquiring a new sensitivity, become more focused. And by learning to get out of the way.
You benefit by improvement of your general health. By finding a new balance, and a truer perception of stability. By discovering your primary control, by allowing the right thing to do itself, by taking the time required for the task, by learning what is meant by inhibition and non-doing. And by falling, if you must, but always upwards.

‘For me the world is weird because it is stupendous, awesome, mysterious, unfathomable; my interest has been to convince you that you must take responsibility by being here, in this marvellous world, in this marvellous time. I wanted to convince you, that you must make each act count, since you are going to be here for only a short time; in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it.’ - Don Juan Matus
