i have terrible posture... i remember my mom always telling me to sit up straight, "you're gonna look like an old man one day," she would tell me. i remember sitting up straight and for a few minutes and then gradually sinking back down into my all to familiar slouch.
even now as i write this post i am hyper aware of my natural slouching posture, so i sit up tall and straighten out my back, which btw feels great when i do it, but i seem to lose focus and i slowly begin to let gravity take over and pull me down.
btw... posture can also be a disposition or an attitude toward something.
i wonder how many of our sitting postures reflect our posture toward god? i mean, its so easy one moment to be hyper aware of god all around me and the people that he has put in my life and then the next to gradually sink back to my selfish, me centered natural posture that has defined me... and probably most of us.
at the end of the day... our posture sets the tone for the rest of our bodies. the posture theory relates several other symptoms such as; fatigue, distortion of nasal and sinus cavity, jaw pressure, strain on neck, pressure of chest, sternum and ribs, strain on lower back, etc. to our posture.
i wonder how many other symptoms in our spiritual life we can relate to our poor posture toward our relationship with christ?
i wonder what people see when they see me?
