I have always been 'a loner', though I have a few people I see occasionally who I call friends. Asperger's Syndrome is a social brick wall between myself and others.

I moved 1 tonne of firewood yesterday, log by log, from the driveway up some steps to the end of the verandah, stacking it neatly and securely. I was exhausted by the end, and went to bed feeling a muscle or two grumbling. Wore the Reviv as always, and woke up fine. No aches, no stiffness, no injury. That is remarkable for my age.

hm, doesn't biomechanics significantly affect your personality?

my own practice is with my tension/ trauma-discharge exercise - basically I tune into my body and make the body movements it wants to relax itself. mainly i've noticed a lot of anxiety and social 'defensiveness' discharging or dropping off so i feel more relaxed and charismatic. less insecure, anxious, more generally content and at ease.

so the 'concept' is really - if your body is/ feels good, you feel good, your person-ality is good. but the other way doesn't quite work - psychology/ mental work doesn't have the power to significantly move chronic and deep-seated body tensions...but removing those body tensions will provide such a significant psychological relief and improvement

Check out actor "Ralph Macchio" (the Karate Kid); he will be a good candidate for naturally good biomechanics.

yes ive seen him in some movies recently... i think he's good, but not 'great'.

There are prob some other examples of folks that are prob better examples of 'great' biomechanics while aging.
