Specific body postures reappear in the art and artifacts of world cultures, even those widely separated by time and distance. What are these images of unusual postures telling us? Medicine people, shamans, priests, and priestesses of indigenous cultures have passed on this sacred body of knowledge for thousands of years. Anthropologist Felicita Goodman discovered that people who assume these postures report strikingly similar meditative experiences. The results from this research are inspiring, proving that certain body gestures and movements allow us to access higher states of consciousness.

With the end of the Cold War, the United States has entered an entirely new security environment that has required the U.S. Air Force to stage a large number of deployments, carried out by a substantially smaller force than existed in the 1980s. To meet these challenges and to address resulting personnel turbulence, the Air Force has formulated the expeditionary Aerospace Force concept.
