How Can You Lose What You Didn’t Have to Start With?

The human imagination is fantastic.

We think of it as something we can control, but it falls into the same category as breathing. Yes, we can mess around with it some, but imagination is deep-wired into our brain – it will happen with or without us.

I am witnessing its effect on me these days as I dabble in shares while the market goes crazy. Sometimes my stocks roar up, sometimes they race down. 

The art is to sell on a downward run, not on a rally up.

Well, guess what I keep doing?

Yes, I sell all my shares just a second before that roar up. I feel terrible. I think I just experienced a significant loss. 

But did I?

When I start to apply a little of Alexander’s “constructive, conscious, thinking” I am ashamed to admit how ridiculous is my emotional belief that “I lost something valuable.”

To lose something, you had to have it first, right?

But I didn’t lose anything—the money I had, I still have. My “loss” was a missed opportunity, not an actual loss of anything.

It’s imaginary. My loss does not exist except in my imagination. And yet the power of that imagination is immense.

BodyChance’s BodyThinking course will counter your runaway imagination. In this case, people imagine all kinds of joints, muscles and movement ranges that don’t exist.

But does your imagination care about that?

Of course not!

It’ll put your hip joint at your waist, connect your arm to the body at the shoulder and try to breathe from your tummy – to mention just a few of the imaginary crazies that can impact on your Posture.

The result of all this twisted imagination is inefficiency and effort. The effects are not imaginary – they are real:

Depressed movements, depressed emotions and depressed people.

Posture is as much about re-imaging your Self mentally as it is about reorientating your Self physically.

The place you start is by studying the Manual of Human Movement, aka BodyThinking course at BodyChance.

BodyThinking Online is the result of challenging my imagination for over 40 years! During that time, I redesigned my mental map so that it began to resemble my human design. My experience has shown me that no-one is without mis-mapping, and most people seriously so.

BodyThinking consists of over three modules covering your 1. spine/head, 2. your spine/arms and 3. your spine/legs. Each module contains five lessons, with many videos in each lesson. 

This is the same course that BodyChance’s Professional Trainers study, but you do not need to be a teacher to benefit.

Anyone with a desire to understand Postural efficiency – or teach it others as part of a discipline - will benefit from studying this course. And the package includes 5 recorded coaching sessions with me, a one day workshop of me teaching the materials, and a bunch of other goodies all listed on the page at the link below.

And oh, did I mention? 

It also includes access to Online lessons by top AT teachers from around the globe in the “How to Teach Online (by example)” course.
