What Is Perception?

Dr. Nicholas Romanov, the creator of the Pose Method, delves deeper into the nature of perception.

According to Romanov, unlike our physical abilities, our perception is “limitless,” and it is the one thing we can change and develop.

“A whole movement, development in this case, comes to developing your ability to perceive,” he says.

To define perception, Romanov says, “It includes senses, feelings, ideas, thoughts, theories.” Concept is its “final point” and allows you to see differences. Perception is “your ability to understand the difference.”

“You perceive what you conceptualize,” Romanov says. Models are based on perception and concept.

For instance, Romanov describes the process of learning the Pose Method.

“Pose is a concept of how running should happen,” he says. According to him, your perception can help you make decisions about your running by comparing it to the model and providing feedback.

“This is an endless process,” Romanov says.
