      Sure the illustrations are weird/wild, but I think this approach is really useful and undervalued: “To do X, pretend your body is like Y” Anyone have other examples of this kind of advice?https://twitter.com/Beavs/status/1195746266254213120 …

      The Alexander Technique is full of this stuff. “Maintain awareness of your Tyrannosaurus-style tail” is one I often find helpful. (Is appropriate for my personal pattern of bodily misuse; useless or counterproductive if you don’t share that. AT teacher knows which will help who)

          Many different movement and postural education techniques use this kind of imagery (Alexander is a good example.) Ideokinesis is a form of postural education that is completely based on imagery. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideokinesis …

          AT teacher here (not my main gig though.) I find I use such images rarely and carefully as I don't want the student to think AT *is* those visual metaphors. Fine to use them as tools to shift perspective, but the real work happens in the layers below them.

          Actually come to think of it, I probably only use them when it seems like the student has an existing and unhelpful image/map that they're stuck in. Inserting an opposing imagine can undo the patterning, but once that work is done let it go or it'll become a new kind of stuck.
