Chicago Continuous Learning Day One - with Chancer

Had I accepted the Continuing Learning Sessions I was offered by the Chicago Congress Directors this week, this would be the title my class:

Alexander Technique is a Fairytale. (And it has a Happy Ending)

Many say: Alexander Technique is all about inhibition.

Well, LIFE is all about inhibition.

Inhibition - as a concept to modify behaviour - has been around for thousands of years. FM did NOT discover that. That's why teachers keep "discovering" Alexander Technique is in so many other things. Duh.

We've got it wrong way round. Point to any religious teaching - I'll point you to inhibition. Alexander Technique was late to that party.

FM used it - of course. It is essential to ANY method of change.

But can we claim it as uniquely ours?

That is a fairytale.

And so it is with our other most treasured Alexander Technique possessions:

Psycho-Physical Unity

Faulty Sensory Perception

Endgaing/Means whereby

Direction & Inhibition

Force of Habit

Unique to FM? Unique to Alexander Technique?

It's a fairytale.

Nothing special or unique about THAT Alexander Technique.

But did you notice was I left OFF my list above?

Yes, this is a fairytale with a happy ending. This is something unique, something amazing, something VERY, VERY special and it is not inhibition or any of those things.

So what is it?

Continuous Learning Sessions come in two parts.

Look for tomorrow's happy ending…
