Posture

3nigma posted a comment wanting to know more about posture. Here is an article for him and you.
Posture is about keeping your body relaxed and in alignment.
I’m a tall lanky person. Before I discovered the community I sat with a hunched back, bent neck, and leaned more to one side. When I walked I maintained that hunched back, bent neck, and I put more weight on one side when I walked. Because of my improper posture I had put excess strain on my lower back, and it didn’t help that I injured by lower back in a car accident. I was feeling like shit to be honest, and that showed in my posture. When I discovered the community I got excited and went to the extreme opposite.
When I discovered the community I began to watch how these pick-up artists held themselves. They all had erect posture, their neck in alignment, and their body was weighted equally when seated and standing. I began to model this, but I took it too far. I became stiff and uncomfortable in my own body. Though it was better than slouching I still wasn’t satisfied. I decided to look up Alexander Technique to make myself comfortable in my own body.
I found out about Alexander Technique while reading Neil Strauss’ The Game. I looked it up online and found that there was a woman who practiced it in my city. Though the price was $45 CAD a session I decided to try it out. I must say, it was worth it. If you cannot afford Alexander Technique then look into Feldenkrais Method.
Alexander Technique is more mental, and Feldenkrais Method is more physical. Your thoughts change your posture in Alexander Technique, and it’s a one-on-one session which is why it’s $45. Feldenkrais Method is more physical, you work in a group to build strength, and because it’s in a group the price is around $15 a session.
Style released a couple great videos last summer in regards to perfecting your posture. These two videos explain the basics of Alexander Technique. Even though these are the basics the result can be dramatic.
Embedding of these videos are disabled. You can view Part 1 Here and Part 2 Here.
To explain what it feels like to have right posture would be for you to imagine that you are the richest person in the world, you have everything you every wanted, you are THE MAN, and no body can touch you.
When you slouch it tells a girl that you have let the world manipulate you. When you walk with relaxed confidence it tells a girl that you own your world.
