This exercise has a lot in common with skiing, but arms and shoulders are moving in the opposite direction of hip and legs, while the head is not moving. The video is playing in slow motion -- half velocity.

We live in a world, where the gravitation has a great impact on our feelings, thinking and behavior. For example people try to get more power with the aim to control their self and others. This desire is grounded in the motivation to cope gravitation -- maybe only in a symbolical way. On the other side there are people, who do not want to control others. So for this people it is essentially to control gravitation not in symbolical way, but in a direct way for example with here shown exercise for training the vestibular system.

A more detailed description of my ideas to depression is published here:
Feist, A. (2007). Struktur der Persönlichkeit und der Gefühle bei Depression. [The Structure of Personality and Feelings of Depression]. Retrieved April 19, 2007, from http://psydok.sulb.uni-saarland.de/volltexte/2007/954/

Abstract: By the use of a new approach for the description of the feeling state incorporating five dimensions (negative feeling, positive feeling, interest, excitement and wakefulness) it was now possible to compare differentiated the structure of the feelings of "depressive" with the structure of the feelings of "non-depressive". These two groups were formed by means of median split with the help of the values of the Beck-Depression-Inventory from a non-clinical sample (N = 72). It appeared that especially the structure of the positive feelings ("cheerful", "happy") of "depressive" is different from the structure of the positive feelings of "non-depressive": Concerning the "non-depressive" the positive feelings are related with relaxation ("calm", low scores on "nervous"), this association can not be found in the "depressive". The further analysis of the data and literature supports to choose a strategy for the treatment of the depression, which reduce the dysfunctions of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system (for example through massage), arrange a new connection between the experience of relaxation and positive feelings and a treatment of the causes of the psychic and/or physical pain.
