“Reverse CPS Now!” Deep Core Amnesia Self Tests
October 31st, 2009
These 2 Self Tests Will Reveal If You've Lost Touch With
Your "Deep Core Stability System!
The ability to BREATHE correctly and the ability to "anchor" your body for efficient, strain free movement is crucial for protecting your joints from degeneration.
In addition, this core awareness will allow you to "recycle" gravity and use it for energy and spring instead of letting it drag you into a submissive, unattrative, forward drawn, downward spiral!
PLUS…keeping your spine and other joints "centrated" (meaning they are perfectly aligned with maximum congruence to be able to bear the most load) is also a "trick" for creating a sense of relaxation and calm in the central nervous system.
This calm is what I consider the ultimate goal…What I call "Peace Physiology" where your cells feel the bliss and go into "renewal" mode as opposed to "Stress Physiology" where your cells are in "breakdown" mode!!
So check yourself out with this breathing test and TAKE SPECIAL NOTE to do the "Baby Back" in SUPER DUPER SLOW MOTION, especially take notice what happens in your core before your foot even leaves the floor!
If you struggled with these tests you have been overloading your joints
and creating unecessary stress in your central nervous system!
But no worries! Your "Reverse CPS Now!" Posture Transformation Exercises are coming in your next video!

I failed all of the cross posture tests. I have pain in both my knees. A chiropractor told me several years ago that my quads were pulling on my knee caps. Will I learn what I need to correct all of this from the forthcoming videos? Is there a health care practitioner in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area you can refer me to? Thanks.
The upcoming exercise series is not specific for knee pain but is designed to help you use your core to take some load off your knees. Done correctly the exercises should not cause pain in your knees, if they do…stop and get them evaluated. Here are my first choices in Texas, but not sure how close they are for you.

No problem with that one, looking forward to the solutions.
My breathing seems to be okay. The anchoring test was good raising the left leg but went to pieces when I raised the right leg. Looking forward to tomorrow’s e-mail.
Same here, Breathing is not bad, when I am concentrating, it is when I
am not thinking about it, that my body tends to cheat! Must practice!!
Thank you
My breathing is ok…I teach that type of breathing to my anxiety patients so I do fairly well with that…I do not have a suitable surface to do the other test with my hips and legs but I am positive that I have tightness there as my lower back is very stiff and sore in the mornings. My hips will give me trouble when doing my walks so I am pretty sure that my lower half is crossed as well. Thank you so much for these very enlightening demonstrations!
My breathing is okay. When I did the legs lifts I felt a jerk to my hips then to my back. The weight transfer is not smooth. When I force my focus on my spine and lift it becomes smoother with out the jerk. I knew this is where my problem is. I have 4-8 levels of pain in my lower back almost all the time. With fast movement causing spikes of 10 in pain. I am doing some yoga but some hurts my back to much. I can not wait for solutions so I can ride my bike, grade papers in school with out pain.
My breathing is good. The single leg lifts work with the back ribs anchored. When both of my legs are lifted my neck/head starts to tense and my shoulders round until I make an effort to relax and then the leg extensions work.
That will improve as your organic posture and core stability improves.
