Alexander Soap Part 8

Alexander had come

to a profound realization:

He could not improve his voice

by putting more tension in his body.

It was so simple –

but no-one understood it!

When Alexander started

observing the people around him

he saw that people were

making tension in their bodies:

"Sit up straight!"

"Shoulders back"

"Breath deeper!"

Al of these involve

making more tension…

"How can that be good?"

Alexander wondered…

USA ONLY [Jal – need not translate this paragraph]

As kids our teachers and parents

keep saying to us "Sit up straight!"

But did that ever feel easy?

Did that every feel like a solution?

No matter what you do,

it still seems to be too hard.

Because you keep making tension…

JAPAN ONLY

Since kindergartens in Japan,

you have been told "kyotsuke"

Does kyotsuke feel

like you are relaxing?

Or does kyotsuke feel

like you are tensing?

Do you really believe

that making more tension

is the way to get healthy?

How can making tension reduce stress?

Does that make any sense to you?

It does not make any sense!

This was Alexander's realization.

But this was a radical idea.

Because everyone is teaching us to do things.

Everyone is saying "Try harder!"

If that isn't right,

what do you do instead?

Alexander's solution

was so simple,

it is shocking.

So what was Alexander's solution?

If you want the answer to that question,
