You exist in your body. It is difficult to feel sometimes because it is beyond our capacity to tolerate such great wonder and beauty. Take a moment and feel yourself. Feeling sexy or feeling your body is not as rich and exciting as feeling your self. The difference lies in the great diversity, depth and quality of sensation and the structures that organize and contain it. It is a pursuit of enlightenment. Biomechanical Enlightenment.
There is no guilt. There is no shame. There is no fear either. There is only self-awareness.
That is, if you hold on long enough to your own breath. The challenge is to be able to hold on long enough and this is what biomechanical enlightenment is about. Simple, friendly, mechanical, anatomical tools of structural centration that you can use to balance and ground yourself and find length and lift from the ground up. This is simply a description of the anatomical functions of the deep core.
The deep core is largely automatic in function but welcomes our motor control and sensory awareness. It does this in some very obvious ways.
Our participation in it is an essential part of our identity. In this sense it is not optional. Without our active participation in the system, it becomes subject to postural patterns like the slouch.
The slouch is a biopsychosocial behavior. We have to consider it to be a complex and maladaptive behavior in the current context.
We are not just talking about appearances or social status. We are not just talking about the power mechanics.
The slouch is a repressive form of identity politics. It is a form of epistemological warfare, doublespeak. It is only the tiniest and the most personal symptom of civilization run amok.
But it is our battle ground. And by reclaiming the scapula and the armpit and rejecting the false anatomical shoulder we can begin a process of self reconciliation and self affirmation.
This kind of sounds like the gospel of the living body.
The armpit is a deeply sensitive area and is a conduit for tissues of awareness and healing both. The armpit is the sensory key to scapular activation, and the self organization of arm movement. It is here that we find a friendly and welcoming challenge of our guilt and shame and fear. The armpit will invite you into your self deeply. It will invite you into the powerful scapula bone, which is the most important bone of the upper body, and is the deciding factor in our core stability and posture.
 The nipples invite us into the armpit and mediate between the armpit and the groin not just myofascially but at the level of erotic energy.
This anatomy exists within you, independent of any research I may have conducted. It is there for you to connect to and activate. You can do this in any location or any time so long as you have your body. A slow and meditative approach works best when dealing with the postural muscles. A mirror and focus and time and touch and an openness to self discovery are helpful ingredients. Biomechanical enlightenment is something that starts when you put down the screen.
This is an introduction to a theory of coordination dynamics as a form of embodiment, and I hope that you enjoy listening to it. Please forgive the frank and intimate nature of the video, the sometimes poor quality of the sound, but this is a genuine expression of a great deal of profound thinking and research.
I
I am working on resting tone but also enjoying a bit of a pump.
This is what horny looks like. Musclemonk is sexy. Saving the world with muscle is sexy. Don’t be silly. Be sexy.
The solution has to be something very gentle and healing.
I am inside this enormous obscene thing.
