improving artistic performance Posture Poor posture can cause serious mechanical problems such as muscle aches and pains that are due to fatigue. If your lower back muscles are over-used they'll soon get tired and begin to ache. Finding out what you are doing, that could be the cause of your problem, requires the intervention by a professional trainer or someone with a background in physiotherapy, osteopathy or chiropractic to diagnose the problem and recommend treatment. Good posture is the result of natural body alignment when moving, standing, sitting, walking, running and playing a sport, Unfortunately periods of stress, inactivity, injury, illness, or excessive sports training, can result in poor body alignment that causes inefficient patterns of movement. This process generally occurs gradually without our awareness of our poor habits. Basic ballet positions provide a guide for exercises that provide skaters with a familiarity of performing arm, leg, and head positions that are commonly used in conjunction with performing spins, jumps, and various connecting turns and movements. The solution to solving any problem is to identify the source of what is causing the inability to perform to the desired standards. Once this have been identified, it is possible to understand the best way to focus your attention and energy on the improvement process. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. If a subject is resistant, he or she can not be hypnotized. It is impossible to force someone to things that are against their moral and ethical standards while under hypnosis. Mental Conditioning Performance artists can benefit from self-hypnosis. Many musicians, actors, and dancers find the experience of performing to be overwhelming. This experience is referred to as "Stage Fright". Even extremely talented individuals can experience such intense feelings that they become physically ill. Deep seated fears about forgetting memorized music, lines or choreography can be alleviated by learning how to access stored memories and enhancement of one's self-confidence. Mental attitude plays an important role in sports. An athlete who lacks the belief he or she will play well is not likely to do so. A player lacking self-confidence often experiences indecision and prone to making poor decisions/mistakes. Self-confidence is a natural consequence of mastering skills. Self-doubts tend to increase and compound themselves and eventually they can actually lead to performance phobias. Recommended Reading: Breathing
