As Cofounder of New Equations, Alan Sheets, Soultype 5, has been researching the physical expressions of the soul for over twenty years. In 1994, he and Siska Tovey made the pioneering discoveries of the nine Soultypes®, Soultyping®, Postures of Strength®, Movement Centers™ and Facial Expressions of Strength™. Alan has dedicated his life to helping people learn about the magic of the physical expressions of the soul and how to use this wisdom in service of humanity. He teaches internationally and has Soultyped thousands of people. 

One of Alan’s most profound experiences was watching Moshe Feldenkrais, the founder of the Feldenkrais Method, treat one of his daughters who has Cerebral Palsy. This inspired Alan to train with Feldenkrais, who showed him the unlimited potential for rehabilitating the physical body by engaging the nervous system. Alan took the Feldenkrais Professional Training and became certified. In addition to his private practice, Alan worked as a Feldenkrais practitioner in a physical therapy clinic in Marin County, California. Soon he and Siska Tovey opened their own clinic and for over ten years they offered alternative modalities. Alan’s position as a Research Assistant at the Linus Pauling Institute helped him to make observations and insights needed to make the New Equations discoveries. He feels particularly indebted to his relationship with Linus Pauling, the only person to receive two unshared Nobel Prizes, who supported Alan’s ability to do research in a dispassionate and clear minded way (photo: Alan on left and Pauling in suit jacket). Alan and Siska were married in September of 1990 and their collaboration began. During their years of research and discovery they connected with many wonderful people and also with beings from the universe.
