Posture is the shadow of emotions

The world in balance. I have known Alfio Caronti for almost twenty years. Before for me it was almost an abstract entity, a name evoked by the stories of a mutual friend - Daniele Redaelli - who described to me what Alfio managed to do with his hands, with champions and with ordinary people like him.

The world in balance is a concept. And it easily comes to mind when I think of Alfio today. Everything he did, every adventure he led - as a practicing athlete and as a researcher, because he is a researcher - was based on a special relationship with the environment. And with ourselves, our body and its 'feeling' of the surrounding world.

Alfio won me over immediately, I admit it. Over the past twenty years I have consumed one hundredth of the medications I had taken in my previous life. And I suffered a tenth thanks to his advice. He won me over not only because of his work but because I looked at the world - and also the sport I have followed for work since I was still a high school student - in a different way. Deeper and more complete. Every time I visit him, or read one of his messages, a slice of the world opens up or his vision of who we are and how we can improve is even more confirmed.

He talks about our body, but I think he 'feels' how all that physicality, those voluntary and involuntary mechanisms that he manages, also have a direct and profound relationship with our soul.
