The main focus of this site is sustainable movement. As millions of us line up for knee and hip replacements, I am here to say that osteoarthritis is extremely avoidable. Our whole society is in a structural lock down movement pattern; gravity can be utilized to reflexively activate the deepest muscles to float the bones.

Gravity is the root of all grace - ancient Chinese.
Final version of DVD in. . 5/18/2010
Ok, we recieved eight boxes of the now fully animated Making Peace with Gravity DVDs today. New orders will be fullfilled with the fully animated version. The cover art is even better and the whole message of the project is organized and clear. Gravitational harmony is the plate techtonics of body mechanics. In light of our shared anatomy with quadrupeds, our spines and weight bearing joints make sense. All spines have gotten their direction from the front and humans are not an exception to that rule.
Green Lifestyles Film Festival Award . February 23, 2010
The new video has already won a Green Apple award and will be screened at the Green Lifestyles Film Festival at UCLA on March 19, 20, and 21. www.greenlifestylefilmfestival.com/ I have recently edited the articles on the site and I put up an article on breaking new ground in the film. This latest article will help you to understand gravitational harmony and what it takes to experience it.
We did it! . 01/02/2010
The dvd, Making Peace With Gravity, is finally completed and going on sale! It took almost forever but we hammered it out; a step by step approach to learning to harness gravity instead of fighting it. Gravitational harmony is an idea whose time has come. Now you can see how the body's puzzle peices fit together to allow deep relaxation in movement. The back, hip and shoulder muscles do not have to tighten up against gravity. Empower yourself with knowlege and understanding how the body responds to gravity.

News after a long break . May 12, 2009
I have been studying Chi lel qigong for about four years. Recently I had the honor of attending a Medicine Begins With Me weekend taught by Master Frank Chan and Dr. Eva Lew. This is by far the most accessable and powerful energy work that I have found.<><>
More soon. Thanks for clicking in.

After trying to clean up the sound and clarity on two tracks, we are reshooting. Hopefully the extra work and delay will be beneficial and the Postural Rejuvenation video will be better.
Notice: The April, 2006 issue of Mother Jones magazine has important articles on the state of the Ocean and the March, 2006 issue of Scientific American has one on rising ocean acidity. CO2 from fossil fuels lowering the PH, shipping pollution, ruthless fishing practices, third world heavy dumping, mercury from unfiltered coal burning, in the food chain. This is an ocean planet; we all need to come together on this huge task. Please make time to become informed, work locally and support the NRDC and others who are working towards sustaining life.

What a year. These are busy times. My friend Ted and I kicked the footbag 703 times before it dropped today. Life has been very good lately; I am grateful.
News . Mid December, 2005
Lots going on around here. Darrell MacElmurray and I have been working on the Postural Rejuvenation video; there is light at the end of the tunnel. We recorded a song that Darrell wrote for the sound track. He played guitar and me on bass.
Not many bike miles lately but I've been boogying and kicking the footbag. My friend Ted Bryson, 53, started kicking with me about a year and a half ago. Saturday we kicked 519 times before a drop.
News . Early November, 2005
Back on my bike after a couple months of lots of footbag. Oh yeah, it feels good to pedal with my ROTOR crank and my Unsaddle. I feel truly fortunate to have these amasing ergonomic corrections. I used them to successfully pull out of a painful knee injury two years ago. I like the strength that comes through riding.
I want to mention a few things about the footbag dvd: Following these instructions can quickly get you past the stage where you are picking up the bag constantly. Please, carefully follow the intructions for moving your spine as a unit while bending to pick up; you will discover a lot about your body in a short time and be safer for life. Kick to improve your kinesthetic sense and your balance; free your hips; get a workout; have fun and develop friendships with other kickers.
We've been working on the Postural Rejuvenation video. I'm getting excited to finally get my movement system out after all these years of development; it has finally matured. Every person who wants safer joints and more graceful movement will have access to the crucial information.
