Chicago Continuous Learning Day One - with Chancer

by Jeremy Chance

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.

Posture & Mental Stress

by Jeremy Chance

She was riding her bicycle and complaining about her arms.

After about 10 minutes of riding, her arms began to ache badly. She was having a session with me at BodyChance. At that time, we had a bicycle in the studio, so she got on it, grabbed the bar handles and showed me how she rode the bike.

Almost Fainting in Nagoya - Can You Ever Get ill?

by Jeremy Chance

When you run your own business, it's hard to get ill.

I can't remember cancelling a class at BodyChance because I was suddenly sick. I did have a couple of hospital visits over the 20 years, but never wake up in the morning and cancel kind-of-sick.

The worst time I ever had was in Nagoya.

Grace Lays Down the Digital Law

by Jeremy Chance

My youngest daughter Grace – when she was 14 – was chatting with me about her future.

Telling me how much she loves YouTube, and maybe she wants to become a “YouTuber”. YouTubers are famous in her world – Vegans, Yoginis, Gay boys: teenage voyagers coming of age in the digital spotlight. Like my daughter.

I don’t know why, but suddenly I asked her:

“How do you for search things?”

YouTube of course.

“No” – I said, thinking she didn’t understand my question – “I mean, when your wanting to find out information?”

YouTube – have you got ears?

How Not to be Happy & Clear

by Jeremy Chance

I woke up this morning and read a long sales letter from Megan Macedo.

I got depressed - thinking: "I am not doing that. I am not good. I should be better."

I started to wonder if my whole life was a mistake - if what I am doing is the right thing for me? That got me thinking about the things I love.
