John here.
Thanks for your comments and I’m happy you notice its value in your work. Incidentally, looked at video clip of you on the social swing dance website you are on. Nice moves. Very enjoyable.
To answer a couple of questions. About eyes… They are located in an area I would describe as the “seam” or border between the dorsal and ventral surfaces. (So are the nostrils, ears, arms, legs, and elsewhere. Look around for a drawing or image of mine that describes this area. As such, this area can react more or less independently of the rest of the body surface. Think of the tips of wings, toes, eyelids, all those parts that seem to be at an organism’s “edges.” Now to my point… The eyes do not have to be “kinda glossed over” like you suggest. But they can be. That may be a changing experience for you. However, they could also be clearly open and “bright-eyed” without essentially changing the state of the larger dorsal and ventral areas. I can see that I am getting wordy (and maybe not communicating), so I am going to work on a drawing to illustrate the point and get it up on the blog as soon as possible.
As for my thoughts on myopia and other vision problems, I do not make any large claims, but I do think that for some the imagery (and some type-specific imagery I hope to get out soon) will make differences to how they see the world… and how they see. I think that this whole body imagery that I call posture release imagery affects the body in its own way and in its own time. Everyone will have slightly different stories in response to it because we are experiencing the archetypal neutrality or idealness of the images while coming from different “sides of the mountain,” so to speak.
So, thanks for your comments. I appreciate public discussion if it could be useful to others. Otherwise; you can email me at alextec_swmo@hotmail.com .

a small P.S. to your comments: You spoke of the “front side(or dorsal) dark” when you wanted to say “front side (or ventral) dark.” Check on of the articles for a description of the dorsal and ventral surfaces on humans, if this was more than a “typo.”

I do notice changes in my structure, and a lot of the times the initial reaction is “oh that must not be right”, but I try to endeavor and go with it. Usually to my “surprise”, it offers an interesting experience of gravity, and my body.
I’m a dancer, partner dancer (west coast swing) by profession, and do other solo body movement.
the Egg idea really is interesting, tensing my ventral surface down, kinda turning it into an egg, I think that extends past my mouth, out and down, to form the outer edge of the egg?

If i’m dancing with a partner, and I get into the visualization, it suggests a state of lower tension to the person I’m dancing with as well (the follower), and from there we can communicate with movement rather easily, and clearly!

I find that when I do something “new”, a new movement, my habit is to “forget” about my neck.
Lately my practice has been, try to image both sides of the neck (backside white-fluffy, and front side(or dorsal) dark, but then trying to make my neck thick, rather than 2d. kinda trying to experience within the body. from there, I try to move up to the top of the head, and at the same time include the lower half, and rudder portions.

I’d love to speak with you more about your work, and see if you’re coming anytime to the los angeles area!
hope you’re doing well! thanks again for the resources, and for offering such an interesting work!

I’m interested to hear what you have to say about allowing the eyes to be covered, or the experience with the eyes…do they feel kinda glossed over while you’re in it?
What do you think about those with miopia, or other vision problems, how do you approach that? or have you found it to make a difference at all?

Thanks for your time!
