Why Is Posture So Important?

In every martial arts the emphasis on posture and alignment is supreme.
Simply when the body is in alignment, ears over shoulders, shoulders over hips,
knees bent, then energy and alertness is in balance, and breathing is at ease and deep.
Having struggled with my posture forever, my right shoulder higher matching my right
hip and pushing my head forward and adding lots of pressure on my knees to balance
myself from falling forward.

Now when you are abused, neglected, overlooked, left out ones energy becomes restricted and it is reflected in one's posture. As a result  the challenge is becoming aware of postures insidious restrictions. Have a massage therapist or a friend describe your alignment. Take a look in the mirror and see how you stand. Become
self conscious of your breathing. The challenge is  working diligently with an Orgone Therapist.  The process can be long because the trauma is rooted in birth and childhood.

Decisions to avoid emotional rejection become physical reality in your body as
posture solidified as hard muscles or as Dr. Reich called it armor.

 
Though the journey to pulsating life is difficult the alternative is dangerous and
life damaging. Addictions are an escape from being balanced in your body. Addictions
are an escape from yourself. Knowing your journey is mapped in your alignment,
your posture, gives us a reference point to chart our goals. The goal
is to have pulsating energy. Addictions block the flow and balanced posture
allows breathing and energy to flow.
