  • End-gaining is fine - if you are familiar with how to carry out the goal. Go for it! For instance, a music conductor gives a signal and the orchestra or band follows his directing with the goal of creating coordinated, beautiful music. - That's succ…
  • I'm also happy to hear you've resolved your problems with indirect means. I've also found a pattern of increasing tightening by anticipating intensity and marking it's action. For me it was during riding a bike uphill. I used to get cramps by thinki…
  • Hi Shiwa, Yes it is strange to find yourself changing, and being impressed with the oddest little things that are different about yourself as you learn Alexander Technique. Where did you do Network Spinal Analysis? The tailored and undivided attenti…
  • During Feb-March 2008, there's a group class starting soon at a very reasonable rate. It's held from Feb. 4th - March 13th, 2008 on the north end of the Big Island of Hawaii in the town of Waimea-Kamuela. Times are 6-7:30pm on Mondays and Thursdays …
  • To help focus on skills of cursory observation, I like the game of "Quick Change." First off, choose a person who has jewelry, many articles of clothing, etc. Have this person who is "it" stand up for their first observation by …
  • I think what you have noted here has to do with Alexander's ideas about responsibility; that we are ultimately in charge of the programs we "install" in ourselves, whether these programs have become buried into habits that fire off automat…
  • Talking about Alexander Technique is a recent development - essentially, the mid-eighties was the beginning of many books on the subject. Until then, speaking about AT in a way that didn't conflict with its principles was rare. Alexander was pointed…
  • Thanks Peter, for your work with books on Alexander Technique. Welcome!
  • That was a fun answer, Steve. Thanks. Maybe you're still thinking about what questions that you'd like someone else to answer might be...? I can't wait to see 'em!
  • dod - I thought that what you observed was so interesting I went and started another thread to reply. It's under learning..."changing the way you talk." I love stories when people talk about their personal accounts of their experiences. M…
  • I'm also in the SF Bay area - in Marin. My website is http://www.franis.org/Alexander Let's get together and play with AT some time, Alan! Contact me through my website.

  • cool - glad you like it!
  • Welcome Stella! You're right about the cost of training on time and pocketbook. But you can solve these problems without so much money, if you give up other things. The only people who I watched during teacher training who made it without parental …
  • Hi Grey, We can all conjecture, but I think the best advice is for you to demonstrate for your teachers what you do when you get into trouble. Once they see it, they can ask you some questions, and then both of you can experiment. Later you can try…
  • Welcome Dod! See - I'm posting, I'm posting. Also I wanted to say thanks for inviting me onto this board from the Alex-tech list. :wink:
  • I don't really know what it is in that page that you could change using the software. My suggestion below may work just on the chance it works on your form page the same way. If it doesn't, you can look at the html example and the html code for your…
  • Anyone else have suggestions to improve this forum? If I may make a suggestion which helps people to remember to come back to the forum and read what has been posted here. To do that, you can change your preferences (under Profile, in the bottom s…
  • (Quote) If you'd like to check it out, I've got a whole list of benefits from applying AT on my webpage, at http://www.franis.org/Alexander Taken together, all of them sound pretty much like AT is "good for everything," almost like the…

  • Nothing wrong with endgaining when it gets you where you want to go. (Except for the unwanted side effects.) Most people assume that the side effects are necessary and justify them with the desire for the goal. In AT we know the unwanted side effect…
