Yes, now it's official.

An Australian doctor entered my name into Medibank's database as a "Chronic Back Pain Sufferer". She wanted me to benefit from the "5 funded sessions" that Medicare will grant me.

I didn't have the heart to tell the doctor that:

My recent dispatch declaiming the sacred sheen of Alexandrian inhibition brought forth some solid affirmations. Phew!

From Jane Buhler comes this nice summary of the original post, throwing in a declaim of another AT sacred cow…

I don’t mean to downplay Alexandrian inhibition – it is a critical piece, and fundamental to any enduring change process, no question. It’s also counter intuitive to many people, so fascinating.

Yes to all THAT.

Except there’s nothing particularly “Alexanderian” about inhibition.

I’ve boiled it down to this.

FM discovered a universal truth for creatures that move:

Use – through your head's influence on spinal co-ordination – affects Functioning.

FM's discovery resulted in 2 mind-bending applications:

1. How to use this discovery to adapt your neuromuscular system to changing environments;
2. How human touch can recalibrate a neuromuscular system that has become dysfunctional.

As time passes, I am sure we will add to this list of consequences. Maybe you have another?

I have a regular to do list which I sometimes ferociously watch, and most times studiously ignore.

Which way works best?

David Allen is famous for debuting his philosophy in Getting Things Done (GTB), then going on to make a fortune from it. Poor guy - he really has to live his biz like me. 24/7.

David's primary insight was this: when making a To Do list, put every "necessary" into your system, without exception. Once you have downloaded every single item you want to do, think about or plan - you can TRUST your system.

A niche is a community of people - bound together by an activity they love - with an already existing communication system.

Let's break that down.

"A niche is a community of people…"

You write to engage.

You write to your audience; to the people who might become your students.

You write so they can understand how they can benefit.

THEN they want to know who you are, what you do and how that helps them.

Alexander's discovery remains a mystery to many people, even after studying it.

It can be easily explained, yet comparing that explanation to your proposed results – the two seem out of all proportion with each other!

Student thinks:

Dan Kennedy, one of the seminal direct marketing figures – and not a very nice man – complained a long time ago about Professional groups of all kinds.

Dan was influential in the Chiropractic world – being one of the key figures orchestrating their extraordinary ascent into almost equal status with the medical Profession in the public’s eyes.

Chiropractic has become a legitimate medial alternative in a personal health crisis.

That’s called building incredible credibility.

There is a secret to BodyChance's Golden Week residential, and I am going to reveal it.

Anyone who follows my feed on Facebook knows there is a frenzy of activity every May.

During the Japanese holidays of Golden Week (what a great name!) BodyChance holds its annual residential. We started it in 1999, and still going strong.

In the third module of my BodyThinking Online course, I illuminate how we manage to be an upright mammalian being.

The leg is the door into the miracle of bipedal locomotion.

As I describe hip, knee and foot movements, I make this phenonomen of two-legged locomotion a recurring theme, throughout the third module of BodyThinking Online.
