: The eyes

The eyes:

Simple logic states that free movement of the eyeballs should be one of the central pillars about which posture correction should rest. Not much energy is required to move the eyeballs; yet, it is quite obvious that for most adults movement of the eyeballs is not free and easy. 

Over the last year or so I have found definite improvements in the quality of my vision. When using a computer (I sit well back, I used to have this fear that I would get zapped by radiation from the screen), I used to have problems with my vision - not far enough for me to use my spectacles, yet not close enough to see clearly without one. This problem seems to have vanished. 

Having achieved better balance of the head on my spine Balance of the Head , I plan now to focus more on getting my eyeballs to move more freely. This appears to be a crucial step towards further improvement of my posture.

PS: Let me take this opportunity to clarify how I happened to allot myself the pompous ID selvaraj99. Yahoo has to be blamed for this, I am basically a modest person :-). When I tried to set up my Yahoo ID (before Google was born), my first choice was plain sraj; Yahoo informed me that this was not available and that I could try sraj_99; well, I just clicked on it.)

Dear All,

It is amazing, the speed with my posture is getting corrected. It is not at all surprising that our civilisation is having problems understanding the issue; the solution to the problem being so highly counter intuitive. Our civilisation is programmed to end gain as far as movement of the spine is concerned; that is, move clock wise (say), at the spinal joints to lean forward, whereas the spinal joints should actually move counter clock (to lean the spine backwards); the forward movement being obtained my movement at the hip joint. I am finding that freedom of movement of the eyeballs, is very much linked with this balance; figuring out the backward rotation at the cervical vertebrae is however proving to be tricky.

I am very sure, if a person gets his posture right, his movement is going to be very fluid; the movement of the legs and spine will be entirely different from what we observe; we are simply locking our bodies doing the wrong things.

How far we are from solving the postural problem can be gauged from the picture of these young men in this news report.

Regards,

Selvaraj

A telling picture indeed Selvaraj.

It reminded me of a picture someone posted a while back - here or somewhere else - of people I think in India, sitting outside with laptops, mostly with pretty poor use but one or two who were maintaining their poise.  Does anybody still have it, or a link to it?
