The Inner Pendulum That Can Save Your Student’s Life

In his utterly radical book - "The Biology of Belief" - Bruce H. Lipton draws an interesting parallel between:

1. the knowledge we know consciously at any moment too…
2. the vast reservoir of unconscious knowledge available to be recognised.

He fills up half a page of his book by drawing an empty white box. Within that white box he places one tiny dot – like a full-stop – and claims:

If the white box represents all the information that you know… then the ‘dot' represents only what you can be conscious of.

Which means - you know more than you can ever know you know!

Imagine that – one tiny dot against an mammoth collection of inexhaustible knowledge. This is who you are. As there is such a wide array of information to be conscious of at any moment, how do you select what to be aware of?

It turns out, you don't select.

Your unconscious makes the selection for you. And therein lies the power to transform your life: what if you decided to think thoughts, rather than having thoughts thinking you?

It sounds easy enough written down here, but there is an inconvenient hiccup to this plan. How conscious are you are your postural movements?

For most people, the answer is – NOT MUCH.

And therein lies a major obstacle.

Postural movement is the voice of your unconscious - if your students don't know how to listen, they cannot know how to act. You must show them how.

Posture is an inner pendulum – it is the voice of the unconscious. And it works like this: say you meet a new person, and you wonder if you should pursue a relationship with them or not (for business, love or friendship).

You can ask your Posture. Yes, really. That whole sense of Self.

And – if you have developed postural sensitivity – you experience one of three responses:

1. A feeling of postural expansion, accompanied by joy.
2. A sense of postural contraction, accompanied by anxiety.
3. A feeling of… nothing. Posture does not always know.

How do you develop this ability?

You study your postural movement a la Alexander. You have to help people understand this basic new fact of life. It is time we humans did that.

Because posture is the voice of our unconscious. Posture never lies to us. It can't, because posture is who you are at any moment. It is your belief, your biology and your e-motional movement.

Posture is an inner pendulum that can save your life.

At ATSuccess I embrace a model that starts with bones, muscles and ranges of movement – and moves you into the intuitive life lived by being close to your own true nature.

Truth starts from the concrete, not the ethereal, yet it leads you to magical experiences.

From BodyThinking to ThinkingBody – this is the ATSuccess model of teaching which aims to marry the concrete with the psychological; the mundane with the magical.
