Whether you are a singer, an instrumentalist or an actor, you will find it useful to become aware of how the relationship between the psyche and physique affects the body. Gravity affects both breathing and the body's weight distribution and learning to understand and exploit gravity can bring about more ease and freedom in performance. Conscious and unconscious feelings can restrict this freedom, and thereby hinder the optimal dynamics and elasticity of our musculature.

In this book, you will find an introduction to ways in which you can recreate uninhibited breathing and create the optimal physical conditions to be able to perform freely. For a musician, this will enable performance at the highest level over many years, and also prevent many injuries, as you become a performer on nature's own premises.
