Undoing the Beliefs that Bind Us

 ‘Art of Running’ Alexscovery teacher Malcolm Balk – and recent visitor to Japan – sent me a story of an experiment he undertook while on the road (or should I say while on the run?)…

By the way, I had a student today down in Buenos Aries who told me her shoulder pain was related to her feelings of stress. I got her to increase her stressful thoughts and low and behold her shoulder hurt more...stopping the stressful thoughts immediately reduced the shoulder pain.

You don’t normally find such quick and apparent connections.

However, physically felt pain and mental stress are intimately related – most people can relate a throbbing headache to mental stress with family, friends or work. At BodyChance, we approach mental stress by assuming it originates in your way of thinking. 

How we think is at the centre of our whole sense of Self.

BodyChance’s BodyThinking course is predicated on the idea that what we move according to how we think we are designed, not according to how we are truly designed.

BodyChance’s ThinkingBody course is predicated on the idea that what we react to what we believe happened, not to what truly happened.

In both cases, truth is injured by erroneous beliefs.

We are not reacting to what is true; we are reacting to what we believe is true. 

There’s a subtle but profound difference.

 At BodyChance, we approach this in two ways:

1. How is your belief expressing itself physically? = BodyThinking Course
2. How is your belief expressing itself emotionally? = ThinkingBody Course

Alexander once made a comment to show how these are two sides of one phenomenon:

“Talk about a man’s individuality and character: it’s the way he uses himself.”

Alexander’s own story is the launching pad for the ThinkingBody Online course. I map his story onto the enneagram – which I think of as a Compass for teaching. How you deal with emotionally challenging issues that students bring you - while staying true to the work - is developmentally essential for Alexscovery teachers of today.
