I Have a Sonzai no Mondai - Do You?

OK, what's a Sonzai no Mondai?

It bad Japanese for an existential crisis. Whenever I ask in class:

"Anyone have a sonzai no mondai today?"

The Japanese giggle.

They like it, and they often do.

Last week it was: "My husband doesn't listen to me."

And what happens to your coordination when you believe that to be true?

Tightness, stomach contraction and loss of freedom. You can have the best diet in the world, but if it must pass through this screwed up and wrenching stomach - well, good luck to you.

Alexander's discovery says: let's focus first on the neuro-muscular co-ordination of your digestion; Paleo posture! How you move affects hearing, seeing, sensing, thinking, breathing, walking. All of it.

This is how I work - seeing the whole you, not just the parts that polite middle-class people want to present. I don't do polite, I do honest.

My regular readers know I am on a campaign this week to question all the things that don't exist: beliefs about other people easily fall into that category.

Think of the worst person you know: the ugliest, meanest most vicious and sullied individual you can recall… (no, not HIM. Someone else. Please.)

It's your fairytale; it's not them.

You made them up and here's the shocker - they can't be any of those things without you being that too. Your meditation: it takes one to know one. A cliché, and a truth.

So what's my sonzai no mondai this week?

Sigh.

I dare not say, people will worry too much. Suffice to hint that it starts with a J and ends with an N. And in-between: a fog of miscommunication and cultural distances.

Present issues can't make it into my Daily: too tender; too raw. People will squeal out loud if they know what I am thinking. It's not kind.

But the past - in its raw, unadulterated and shocking truth - sure, I will tell you that. And I do. Why? I am curating my personal example of how Alexander's discovery plugs into your existential crisis and sees you out the other side.
