A State of Emergency in Tokyo

Japan finally bowed too much of the West and ordered a state of emergency. Tokyo closed, Osaka too. Incredible.

At BodyChance, we continue our lessons online – it is an exciting time to develop communication skills, develop our teachers, show trainees how to experiment and grow...

This period will usher in a whole new era of Alexander education.

How are you faring?

The challenge of online communication is losing a dimension. You become as thin as the screen you are on. Or do you?

Of course you don’t. And neither do the other people you are seeing. One of my first discoveries is that you don’t have to change THAT MUCH, you just need to rethink how it is done.

For example, do you always sit through an Alexander lesson?

Then why do that online? 

Stand, move, sort out the camera so you can move. This is part of your learning curve.

Teachers, instructors, coaches etc. have the job of creating the conditions that allow our students to learn. When it comes to online, it’s no excuse to say ‘It was Zoom’s fault’ or ‘my connection is bad’ or ‘it’s bad light in this room, sorry.’ 

No. Sort those things out. It’s part of your new job description.

Constructive thinking involves just that – thinking.

We resist that, because it is easier to sail with the wind of yesterday that go up against the hurricane of today. But if you don’t want to be blown away, open those eyes, listen more and say:

“I can.”

Mental health and movement are intimately connected – but it takes sensitivity to movement to gather information and influence your mental condition. One way you do that is to study the functionality of coordination – that is available in BodyThinking.

The course is available, waiting for your eyes, thinking and desire to grow.

There’s a great offer on it at the moment, which includes three coaching sessions with Chancer online. Read more details of my offer on this page:
