By seeing one thou knowest him half, by hearing him speak thou knowst all.

Over the years our bodies become walking autobiographies, telling friends and strangers alike of the minor and major stresses of our lives. Distortions of function that occur after injuries, like a limited range of motion in a hurt arm, become a permanent part of our body pattern. Our musculature reflects not only old injuries but old anxieties. Poses of timidity, depression, bravado, or stoicism adopted early in life are locked into our bodies as patterns in our sensorimotor system.

Marilyn Ferguson (1938–2008) American author, editor, public speaker
The Aquarian Conspiracy, ch. 8 (1980)
