Turn sideways and ask someone to look at your posture. Ideally your ear should line up with your shoulder bone which lines up with your hip bone which lines up with your ankle bone. From the front view, your head should be straight, not tilted or turned to one side. Shoulders should be even and hips even.

What? You're not perfect? Don't worry, no one is. However, working toward perfect posture will help you feel better in the long run.

Notice where your head is in relation to the rest of you. It's position is best predictor of posture imbalance. Heads weigh in at about 10-12 pounds--the weight of an average bowling ball. To use the bowling analogy, when you get ready to bowl, you hold the ball in front of your chest with both hands.

The ball doesn't feel too heavy because the bones of your forearms support it. However, when you begin your approach, you have to use your muscles--your biceps and triceps--to hold and swing the ball. Now you can feel its full 12 pounds. When your head is supported by the bones of your spine, all is well. When it's held up by your muscles, most likely the trapezius in particular, you're causing stress.

Holding your head just one inch forward of that plumb line I spoke of puts 30 pounds more pressure on the back of your neck.You're asking those muscles to do morethan they're supposed to. Over time those over-stressed muscles get sore. Over time the pressure on the cervical nerves can make your hands go to sleep, just like your foot does when you sit on it.

Here's how to start reacquainting your body with alignment. To stand and walk correctly, begin by making sure your toes point forward, not out and not inward. Next, lengthen the space between your navel and your collar bone by lifting your breast bone up toward the ceiling.

This action lets your head naturally come back on top of your spine and gives you a natural curve in your lower back.Keep your chin parallel with the floor, not tipped up. When you walk always put your heel down first, and imagine leading with your heart not your head.

To sit correctly, start by placing your feet flat on the floor. Your thighs should be parallel to the floor and your knees and hips on the same level. Your weight should be over your pelvic bones, sometimes called sit-bones. When your feet, legs and pelvis are positioned correctly, lift that breast bone again so as to position your head and shoulders correctly.

You should have a pillow to support your lower back only. Don't lean back. Leaning back stresses your neck and all the muscles of your back. If you must recline, use a reclining chair with proper support for your lower back and neck. That way you remain in alignment when resting. Don't try to work or read in a reclining position.

Good posture is just one of the tools of a healthier life. Add it to exercise, nutrition, emotional honesty, meditation, and prayer. Find your balance in body, mind and spirit.
