Examples of Alignment

Individual

• Having good posture and a well-balanced stance is a fundamental part of alignment. In grappling, maintaining your alignment while trying to disrupt the other person’s alignment is a fundamental goal.
• In mental well-being, being free of internal conflict prepares you to face the world. Therapeutic paradigms like Internal Family Systems and Focusing encourage an individual’s ability to work with themselves instead of against themselves.

Strategic

• In the doctrine of the armies of Commonwealth nations, Alignment is often referred to as the ‘maintenance of the aim’. Having a clear aim for a fighting force allows the parts that make up the whole force to better work together.
