About the Book

Perfect Posture explains why and how standing in a particular manner properly proportions and evenly tones your body front to back and side to side from top to bottom. It's the upright position of alignment where a continuos slight tension in muscle tissue, called tonus, is coursing evenly through all the muscles of the body. With practice, this position of alignment can be maintained without conscious effort, even while standing and feeling relaxed. This book, and this blog, is dedicated to sharing and explaining techniques to help you achieve Perfect Posture. The price of the book, shipping and handling is cheaper than even one payment on most of the many exercise machines advertised on television. Your mind and body are the only pieces of equipment used with Perfect Posture. They are infinately more convenient because they're with you all the time. No setting aside time to use, setup, use, or put away. Since you can use them all the time everywhere, they are infinately more effective. Buy the book and take the time to develope the habit of Perfect Posture. See why it's time to say "let your posture be your exercise and your exercise be your posture."

Habitual Use of Artifacts


This is a short excerpt from Chapter One of the book:

Foot binding and pointy shoes
To compare the effects of an artifact, consider the one-time tradition of foot binding in China. At an early age, women’s feet were bound with cloth to stop them from growing more than four inches or so. Normal, big feet were considered alien to feudal virtues. If you were to ask these women why they subjected themselves to these artifacts and the resultant departure from the natural form they would probably say, “What departure?” They wouldn’t recognize the deformity, associated poor balance and lowered bone density as anything but the normal results of the aging process. The awkward gait wouldn’t seem unusual or funny because everyone walked that way. Or they might answer, “Yes, I understand, but it’s the price you pay to look good.”
