The new illustration above and the image exercise I explain below started with my effort to depict a way to discuss developing a panoramic view of things. I drew circles or rings around the walking model and moved it around. I discovered that when the ring was raised above the head it felt oh so much better. It became my halo. It had a positive effect, like the large brimmed cowboy hats I sometimes wear. Tipping a halo… or a hat… one way or another produces sensory and postural effects equivalent to PRI imagery that plays with the angle of the “director” segment. The variations give me a “different slant” on things and increased fluidity in my head and neck (director segment).

This image has lots of possibilities. I suggest that you play with it while walking about and not just while sitting. Make the halo as big or as small as you like. I like it large, about the size shown above. The ring can be thick or thin. One you will prefer. Try it higher or lower. I like it about where shown and think you will too. The reason you have options here is because when you choose the most enjoyable characteristics of this image, you are choosing the most welcome changes in your postural habit structure!

Basically, I would suggest experimenting with all of the following variations. When imagining one version, try to maintain that version for, say, 10 seconds or even longer. This allows accompanying body shifts that are slow to change but may “want” to do so. It makes the experience richer. Short periods of experimentation can produce incomplete or distorted results.

So here are the possible variations I recommend including:

Halo tipped forward, tipped backward, tipped to the right, tipped to the left.

Next, a halo that is tipped forward and to the right, forward and to the left, backward and… and so on.

Later, give yourself two halos that are side by side. Imagine the left one tipped forward and the right one back… and vice-versa.

Later yet, with the two halos, imagine the left one tipped forward and to the left and the right one…

You now can figure out the various combinations. I suggest that each of these experiments will tend to change your countenance and your carriage, to use old useful terms. I also suggest that you might want to wear your halo or halos when you go out for brisk walks. It can make a gray day quite a bit brighter.

Good luck.

P.S. I neglected to mention that you can certainly imagine the halo or ring to be level! In experimenting with the other versions I believe
