Alexander is a Doing Technique

She said:

"I want to inhibit myself."

And I wondered… How do you do THAT?

We are moving creatures - from our first breath to our very last, we always doing something. Our work is about our doing - you can NOT inhibit the doing of life.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked her "What is bothering you?"

And then it came out. The self-hate, the discomfort, the itchy desire to be someone else. I think our work attracts control freaks, and I count myself in those numbers. We want to control, and our first port of call is to beat up all that we feel is bad in our Self.

She wanted to inhibit her bad, but this is just another tricky way to self-hate.

The act of stopping is a doing. Everything is a doing. Alexander's work is a doing. The river flows, the water moves whether we wish it or not. Nothing stops that flow, "non-doing" - if you use that language - is itself a doing. You can't escape that.

In this universe - without movement - there is no function.

Which is convenient when communicating with your audience. People want to do, and that's natural. Instead of saying "NO" all the time, try saying "YES".

How about offering them a conscious, constructive plan of action that simply replaces the need for their old habits?

Instead of a no-plan, give them a yes-plan. Give them a doing plan.

An Alexander doing plan.

It's more appealing to a general population, because it fits better with life as they experience it. We can tweak it later, AFTER they have joined your course.

Getting a new message that appeals, rather than repels, is part of the work you will do on my 60Day course. Join me in October to start crafting a more appealing practise that attracts students, and keeps them coming back.
