Cool NY Times article "backs up" the stuff I'm studying

The Rubenfeld Synergy folks have known for a long time that our bodies take what we say literally. We "dig in our heels" and "put our foot down," or we "bend over backwards." We feel "down" or "uptight." We "can't stand it!" We're "hip to it." We may feel "beaten down" or like we "shoulder" too many burdens, but we're told to keep a "stiff upper lip" and "keep our chins up." But we need "elbow room," "breathing space," and for someone to "have our back" if we're going to get "back on our feet." When we can "stand tall" in our spines we know that we can "be-long."

And now, The NY Times presents a survey of studies showing that this stuff is all true.
