While I totally agree with your comment, I don't see any relevance either to my article or to my comment. The only place I use the word "natural" is in my reply to Constance where I say: "A lot of people find my descriptions of the Tube Principle confusing and that’s very natural because what we find when we use it is usually very counter-intuitive." Jacqualine,

Poisons such as cyanide a VERY natural. I am afraid “natural” is not really any sort of indicator as to whether what you are taking is good or bad for your body.

A lot of people find my descriptions of the Tube Principle confusing and that's very natural because what we find when we use it is usually very counter-intuitive. There's a good reason for it's being counter-intuitive: what we find contradicts the voice of our habits -- and you know what it's like when you go against habit. When, in my lessons, I get my pupils to apply Tube Principle directions, things quickly become much clearer to them. That's because the directions just work. About the imaginary hands, yes, they need to pull from the front of the knee to the back. Don't try and over-intellectualise it. Just try it and see. Once it has worked for you (or your pupils), you'll begin to understand it better. I'm sure I wouldn't understand it either if it were a new concept for me and somebody tried to explain it to me. Yes, diagrams would be helpful and I'll make sure I include some in the book when it comes out. Unfortunately I don't know any artists so any clues to finding one would be greatly appreciated. Hi Constance,

Thanks for a great comment.

Are you saying that much knee pain comes from too much contraction in the front of the knee and that one could "pull together" the back of the knee to un-do the front? Or are the imaginary hands drawing away from the inside of the knees toward the outside? In many of your "tube principle" writings, I would find diagrams useful. Do you know any artists? Thanks in advance for your clarification. Hi Philip,
