Psychology has long been trying to study as the structure of the body and other bodily characteristics affect the character of a person and his personal characteristics.

In psychology, the study of the relationship between the structure of the body and the internal state of a person began with the studies of E. Kretschmer and W.G. Sheldon. They described the relationship of three types of body constitution and three types of character. The descriptions are very similar, only the names are different: endomorph is an analogue of an asthenic, ectomorph is an analogue of a picnic, mesomorph is an analogue of athletics.

In psychotherapy, the research of Alexander Lowen, the author of a number of books on body-oriented psychotherapy, has gained popularity. Lowen studied how chronic muscle tension in different parts of the body affects a person’s well-being. According to his observations, the bodily expression of emotional health is grace of movement, good muscle tone, good contact with other people and with the ground under one’s feet (in the terminology of bioenergetics — this is «groundedness»), a clear look and a soft pleasant voice.

We propose to introduce the concept of «body pattern» — a unique, but quite readable combination of features and characteristics of the body, creating its mood and character. Each body has its own pattern, which consists of a gait pattern, shoulder turn or stoop, a certain head position and a certain pattern of gestures, characteristic facial expressions and familiar intonations.

Stoop, shuffling gait, frozen eyes and lips habitually twisted in offense — an unsuccessful personal background. A straight back, a free, collected gait, lively eyes and a smile on his face are a more interesting option.

A person begins with a drawing of the body. That is: from the muzzle or face, from the carcass or camp, from paws or strong and beautiful brushes. And also from physical energy or pale infirmity. The way our body is built, what its pattern is and what state it is in is a serious factor that affects both situational mental states and the prospects for personal development.

In the drawing of the human body, the possibility of his development as a person is recorded. The drawing of the body determines our interests and our values, it imprints our character in us, it records what our vocation is and whether we can have it at all. The body, clogged with clamps and twisted by depression, interferes with development. If we want to develop our own or someone else’s personality, we need to start with the development of the body.

You can make your body beautiful and help your life. How? What do you usually need to pay attention to first? First of all, solve the following tasks: royal posture, remove rattling, master relaxation and confident gestures.

When you cope with this and feel how life has changed, you can no longer deal with problems, but with perfection. These are: royal manners, soft gestures, put the right vector of strength, build a gait and put your voice.
