Dr. Theodore Dimon, Jr.

The mission of the Dimon Institute is to develop a practical science of man that enables the individual to live more consciously and healthfully based on a knowledge of our evolutionary design and potential. Dr Theodore Dimon has spent thirty years studying how the body and mind work as a unified system, how unconscious behavior patterns interfere with this system, and how to become aware of these in order to restore normal functioning. He has discovered that most of our habitual actions interfere with our innate design and has developed practical methods for identifying these as the basis for improving performance, living in a more balanced and healthy way, and becoming more conscious in thought and action.

In the field of health we become able to identify and correct behavior patterns that lead to potentially serious clinical medical problems, even when they are at a very early stage of development and before they become visible. This applies as much to musculoskeletal problems, and problems associated with specific organs, as to conditions such as stress and ADD which are frequently manifestations of those habitual actions interfering with our system.

In the field of general education, awareness of how we perform actions gives us a psychophysical measure in our learning process and in the development of skill in absolutely everything we learn, whether holding a pen, sitting or standing, driving a car, or playing a musical instrument. By being aware, we can better control actions which require precision, such as hitting a golf ball or using tools, and we are better equipped to perform repetitive actions which cause strain, such as typing and speaking.

Learning psychophysical awareness is not difficult for those with an open mind, who are interested in their behavior and functioning, and who are willing to invest time into maintaining their own health. Dr Theodore Dimon teaches the subject privately and runs classes at the Dimon Institute in Manhattan where students are taught psychophysical awareness techniques and theory.
