Beginning to Self-regulate Your Postural System, Part I: Lifting the Chest

This video is the first in a series that will look at what we can do to begin using our rational mind to change our posture. We ease into this process by looking at the adjustment of lifting the chest. But what is the chest? And in what way do we want to lift it? It's not quite as simple a matter as it may sound, but if we apply our reason, we can begin to understand how we can direct our movements in a rational way.

"I propose a great, a worthy subject for your study. ... I offer you a work superior even to those sciences which have been described to you; superior to all which the genius of a Michaelangelo or a Raphael could conceive; a work in comparison with which all the magnificences of science and art must pale. I propose that you should contemplate yourselves! Nothing is so unfamiliar to man as himself."
