Comments on: The dorsal-ventral types - made more complicated http://posturereleaseimagery.org/archives/248 Developed by John Appleton, teacher of the ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE, Springfield, Missouri, USA Tue, 07 Sep 2010 11:53:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: John http://posturereleaseimagery.org/archives/248#comment-1748 John Fri, 23 Apr 2010 20:50:45 +0000 http://posturereleaseimagery.org/archives/248#comment-1748 Hi "mang," You ask a good question. I hope this short answer helps. Since the 3rd row is a top view, you do not see the side view, which would show the dorsal-ventral waves, you are only seeing the lateral influences that the types would display. Since I do not have state-of-the-art three dimensional drawings to show, my drawing here is misleading. I may remove the lateral segment until I can show it more clearly. For the meantime, just look at rows 2 and 4 for a sense of differences on each side of each type. Thanks for the sharp eye. John Hi “mang,”

Seems the right/red side of the body might be more stretched out than the left side. Or in other words, the limbs are closer together on the right side than the left, and I would have thought the opposite would be true for the blue type. Specially after looking at the 4th row, first blue type...that character's left side is the yellow type (standing, chillin), and right "half type" is the red type (jumping, mid-air).... am I seeing the lateral wave incorrectly? Cheers mang Hey John,

Welcome to the wonderfully bizarre world of posture release imagery, glad that you found your way to commenting. You're right, these images to take much patience, but it is worth-while patience, and will be quite rewarding for you. Keep at it, and keep posting with questions, troubles, comments, or whatever else! John is quite good about getting back to you. See ya around these parts! Pete p.s. I've been working with John and his imagery for the past 2 years, and it has provided me with many many great experiences, and welcomed changes to my life! Hello Marie!

I find it immensely useful; I have just started with the fisrt excersices, though, and it will take me time to gothrough them - I realise much patience is needed. I loved your comment that virutally nobody sends comments. It was so frank, and I so much recognise what you say. I have no blog but I talk about social interaction in general. Dear John,
