Welcome to The Chronicles of Gravity Ace ...

Gravity Ace is acknowledged for expertise in the field of Human Design Ecology. With special focus on balancing the arrangement of the human body to the kind of vertical, level and even stance dictated by Gravity.

As you can tell, he likes to do it with a sense of humor. 

In the design and building trades this is understood as the fundamental design requirement which must be at the core of any structure if it is to be stable and enduring: Plumb & Square.

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY

Gravity. We usually talk about that it has to do with how things go up and down. Apples fall straight down. And, rain. And, Niagara Falls. You know. Like that. We “see” it outside of our personal selves; in the comings and goings of the World. We see gravity as a Line. Mostly, from the side.

There are other ways to look at Gravity. On the inside ... of it. Imagine the inside is what’s there when you cut a cross section of that Line of Gravity and you take a look.

Oh, and by the way, while a case can easily be made on how we conventionally “see” Gravity, as a Line [that we see in a lateral aspect], another view is to see that Line extending to the Center of the Universe. Pointing. Leading. And, coming back on itself like the Ouroboros.

So, we’re looking at that cross section of the Line of Gravity. What do we see? [Maybe the simplest answer will come with the question: what don’t we see?]

We notice some elemental things.

That Line ... it’s got no edge. In fact, it’s got no center. I believe there are as many different things to see in the Center of Gravity as there are, have been, and will be human beings. Or, Nothing.

[C’mon Man! It’s just me talking.]

But, hey! Don’t get me wrong. Even as your “Gravity Ace” I’m not suggesting that living in balance with Gravity is the end-all and be-all. I just can’t help but wonder what sort of balance is needed in all the other, holistically related areas of human life. And how each of those domains needs to be settled with the soul. Within the soul.

In other words, insofar as living in balance with the ecosystem is concerned, Rolf Structural Integration is a peerless and definitive approach to human balance on Earth. It enlists Gravity. Really, that’s all there is to it.

Lest my enthusiasm as your “Gravity Ace” leave the impression that it’s the only thing to do. Far from it. But, whatever might you want to do; don’t you think you’d enjoy yourself a bit more if you lived with bodily balance? “DO YOU REALLY WANT TO LIVE?”

Also, if you want to take a look for yourself at the Center of Gravity ... Go! Just take a hint from the quest itself ... Go Within. It just might speed up the process to organize your body so that you can live in harmony with the prevailing wind.

"The world is witnessing an acute conflict between the forces of light and the forces of darkness. On the one hand, there are selfish persons who seek their happiness blindly through lust for power, unbridled greed, and unrelieved hatred. Ignorant of the real purpose of life, they have sunk to the lowest level of civilization. They bury their higher selves in the wreckage of crumbling forms that linger on from the dead past. Bound by material interests and limited conceptions, they are forgetful of their divine destiny."

"Stop Polluting Gravity!"

Yes, you read it right. Stop polluting Gravity. 

Huh?

So here’s the deal. Gravity. You probably have heard of it. Yes? It’s what holds the universe together, bruh. Locally, it’s what keeps you from flying off the face of the Earth. It's also that pesky thing that makes things break when you drop them. 

We all know about Gravity. And, how it works. If you’ve ever dropped one of Mama’s prized teacups and it breaks on the floor, you know from Gravity. Heck, every kid at a very early age who played at stacking blocks — and who hasn’t — knows about Gravity. Maybe not in words, or even the whys and wherefores; but, on a preverbal level: them blocks gotta stack up straight if you want them to stay stacked up. Capeesh, Italiane?

So, now that we’re on the same page about how Gravity is, what’s the skinny on “polluting Gravity”? Maybe better to put it, wasting Gravity. “Disturbing” would also fit. Actually, "ignoring" and "not appreciating" can go on the list of pollutants.

Let’s first talk “pollution”. Pollution is simply what when you put something in whatever you have that don’t belong. A pollutant is that what is harmful to what you put it in. Nasty. Unhealthy. Dangerous. Like plastic in the oceans. There’s the soot and foul gasses in the air. And, the poisonous chemicals in the dirt. Lead in the water. Like that.

If you’re paying attention, you may have an idea that it’s a big deal. Silent Spring-time. If you haven’t heard of the Club of Rome, get on board. They called the alarm way back in the early 1970s.

Now, Gravity. Gravity is a field. As such it surrounds the Earth. It is constant, ever-present. Ineluctable. [That last big word means that it cannot be denied.] Yet … yet, we are inured to it. [That is, we’re accustomed to it; so much so that we don’t notice it.]

The human body also has/is an energy field. The human energy field should be in synch with the Gravitational field. No? Who would argue that? Like in water, the proper relationship for fish and humans is the same … you swim.

So, how do you swim in Gravity?

If you asked a fish about the water, they’d say, “What water?”. Gravity for humans is like water for fish. When’s the last time someone asked you “how ya doin’ with Gravity?”. Never.

So then, how to be “in synch” with Gravity? Better, why that be importante. Since we know that structures need to be stacked up and be level to endure under the influence of Earth’s Gravitational Field, we build things “plumb and square.” Those stack of blocks, writ large.

And … and, same for how our body stacks up. By design and the laws of Physics we know the human body is supposed to be stacked up vertically, symmetrical [even] side to side, and level [the major segments placed horizontal front to back. Think of the pelvis like a bowl; needs to be level to hold its contents. Not like so often, tipped forward.]

So how do you pollute Gravity? By living out of sorts with the basic and obvious need to be balanced in the makeup of the body. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a quaint tourist destination. It’s a major polluter of Gravity. Gravity has feelings too. When you’re off-kilter, Mother Nature is offended. It harshes the vibe, bruh! Like how sloshing your hand in that still pond sends vibes through, and all the fishies get all upset and all. You’re rocking the boat, so to speak. Don’t do that!

What to do? This is a big subject. As you can see from here I got plenty to say. So let’s cut to the chase. What to do? Take steps to be sure your body is in balance. Balance according to the dictates of Gravity. I’m a professional in the field of balancing the body with the Gravitational field of the Earth. Don’t call me! First … see if living in simple alignment and balance with the pull of Gravity is something you see as valuable. Something you want for yourself. Then, give me a call.

You got children? They grow bigger and stronger automatically. Balance in the structure of their body has a large learning component. You send them to school to learn how to operate in the world, in society, in whatever area of interest they will explore. How about schooling in the basic use of their body. Not some didactic set of concepts and explanations. But, ingrained into their very tangible bodily sense.

Living in balance with Gravity. It’s good for you. In general. And for performance and full expressiveness. Oh, and, it feels good!

Dig it! Don’t waste it.

Ida P. Rolf originated Rolf Structural Integration. It's based on the simple proposition that the human body, living in the field of Gravity as it does, is just like any other physical structure on Earth. Subject to the constant and ever present pull of Gravity. This means structures of any kind in order to be stable and enduring must at their core design be stacked up vertically, symmetrical and level. Basic Physics. The human body's anatomical design calls for the same arrangement.

Dr. Rolf was formerly trained as a scientist in Biochemistry, receiving her doctorate from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1920. For several years after was also a researcher at the prestigious Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. 

As of result of her background interests and wide self studies, she eventually began to practice an approach to human health and performance using soft tissue manipulation and movement coaching. Her basic idea that things work better and are healthy relate to those in the fields of Osteopathy and Chiropractic. Unlike those approaches, which have as their core concept a picture of health based on proper alignments in the bony skeleton, Dr. Rolf furthered the concept to include not only the relationship of the major segments of the body to one another, but the relationship of the whole body in relationship to its Earthly environment. Specifically, the Gravitational Field of the Earth.

Gravity Ace Says ...

Our bodies, just like any other physical structures on Earth, must deal with Gravity. Upright, level, and even is the architectural norm. 

Yet, just look at how we measure up to that simplest of standards. We live in default with pain and stress for being out of sync with the dictates of gravity. Unconscious to the simple cause staring us in the face.

We are at war with Gravity.

It goes unnoticed because it is so widespread.

There's good news!

Since the human body is plastic it has taken on the shape and fit you now live with. And, also because it is plastic, it can be reshaped and restored. You can learn to make some simple changes to get back on track.
