Gravitational Alignment

gravity is the source of all motive power

stacking
relaxing
balance

leads to compression capability

horizontal and vertical

we move horizontally by virtue of our vertical relationship to gravity

forward plane orientation needs to be reversed

concentrate instead on the downward direction....i.e. everything originates in the vertical...literally and conceptually

actually it's back and down as opposed to up and forward

STACKING

What is above is supported by what is below.

Shoulders stack on torso
Torso stacks on hips
Hips stack on knees stack on ankles
Knees stack on feet

To the degree that you are not stacked and relaxed is the degree to which you have to use excess muscle to maintain your vertical alignment and move about
