Sitting down withoug falling down - Noam lesson
The weight must be kept as much as posible on the front of the feet instead of leting that weight go backwards over the heels.
Don't fix the eyes - Noam lesson
Fixing the eyes means the mind is disconnected from the body and from the outside world.

Grow , Back-back - Noam lesson
To grow from within, instead of straightening the back by contraction of the spinal muscles, the antigravitatory support system must be activated.
To do that for example while sitting down, the legs role in supporting the body's weight must be lessened.
Macdonalds achieved this by taking the pupil's upper body backwards from the head, before taking him forwards while at the same time rising him from the chair.
Back-back means not pushing with the chest forwards, so the back stays back of the head.

On the Chair - Noam lesson
"Don't push with the legs"
By the way, other AT teachers will be pleased with you, because that is what they teach to do.
"The head is the locomotive, and the rest of the back is the train"
Only when making use of the "intention", he would finally aprove and let me gain the end of standing up.

On the knees - Noam Renen lesson
"On the knees" seems to be aimed at (although Noam will probably not agree with this) putting the pupil in a situation of discomfort, of feeling like one is going to fall forwards.
When the leg muscles get tired (quite soon) Noam will say:
"When the back starts working then the legs dont get tired"
From time to time, he will say
"You are holding yourself at the legs, let go"
On the other hand, when I relaxed the leg muscles (also to give my legs a break)
"Now you are falling down"
In the end, its about not holding oneself up, but of getting the standing erect posture through the mechanism that is built-in in ourselves for that.

Life is what happens to you while you are busy doing things
"Life" is what happens to you
If nothing "happens to you", if you don't feel anything about what happens to you, then you are not alive!
Life passes by.
The original quote was John Lennon's:
"Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans"
