hmm interesting thought but I’m not sure I buy this entire;y... they’re definitely overlapping but not co-extensive. I’ve held and worked from a great mental posture while slouched physically, and vice versa.https://twitter.com/m_ashcroft/status/1331321206193201152 …

Possibly you're over-indexed on alexander technique/somatic awareness and cases like acting, public speaking, interpersonal interaction etc. I'm mostly overindexed on thinking inside your head with low external signs. Like writing or doing math.

Possibly, but I'll counter that I am an energy consultant and STEM nerd first and foremost (though shifting) and I apply this to writing and doing math also. I guess I can but assert that the physical and mental are one process - at the very least it's something to play with.

So here I agree actually - certainly for a thinky person (such as yourself), it's probably easier to engage at the level of mental than physical. We're certainly more comfortable interfacing with the mental than the physical, because we've made everything mental.

I'm getting a lot more somatically aware in my middle age out of necessity -- aches and pains and stiffness etc. are more noticeable/less ignorable now, so in a way, I'm only now, at age 46 getting the body awareness that natural athletes, dancers, actors etc probably gain at 16
