I am finally launching ThinkingBody this month.

I won't give you all the details via this blog, I do it separately, so sign up here. I've already gathered an audience of listeners, maybe you are one of them…

The content of this course is unique and unseen in the AT world before.

Why are the artists, seekers and innovators often so neurotic?

Is it a prerequisite to do great things?

Abraham Lincoln suffered from depression, Beethoven went nearly insane with grief as he lost his hearing, Oscar wild died destitute after wandering the streets of Paris: broke, alone and abandoned by most of his old friends.

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?

As you get older, your systems start to fail. It's normal, but not nice.

My sister claims: After 40, something is lost every decade.

My score is 2 all. Are you scoring yet?

First decade, both my eyes popped out - retina detachments, new lenses, a lot of grief.

Second decade, I fell over and shattered my wrist - iron insert, operation, a lot of grief.

Now my leg is giving me grief! Is this the 3rd decade coming? NOT YET.

Are you a detective when it come to your co-ordination issues?

I wrote about my approach recently in "My Leg is in Pain, and I have 3 Theories Why"

And Marja Krappe read that, then wrote back with her version of the same:

Couldn't agree more with that 1st theory.

I also got sudden pain in my right hip joint one day after walking about 10 min.

Alexander didn’t invent the concept of Constructive Conscious Guidance.

Siddhārtha beat him to that by twenty-five hundred years.

Sorry old man, but psycho-physical unity, debauched kinaesthesia, inhibition, direction and the power of habit were already well-worked concepts before Jesus first appeared on the planet.

Not new. Nor original.

What do you think this is:

MSIIT-CCCOFTI-UOSAA-UCIL

It looks like one of those odious passwords that Microsoft loves to throw at you.

But it isn't.

Is it Latin?

Sanctus Msiit Cccoti Uotsaa Ucil?

No, but first let me thank you for continuing to read. AND being a reader of my blog.

When I was considering doing this daily emailed blog - oh yes, it took 6 months of DeepThinking to commit! - I tried to find my deepest purpose: the clear mission.

Time.

I remember being in a car accident years ago. I was on my way to Melbourne – a teenage hormonal phenomenon – charging through the mountainous regions of Coopracambra National Park – on my way to a rendezvous with fate.

We’d just passed through Cabbage Tree Creek and started heading up a long hill. Impetuous lad I was, I felt frustrated by a long lorry blocking a speedy run up the hill.

I tried to pass it.

A really interesting thing what happened last year in London.

As background – it was during the time we staged ATSuccess’ first foray into live workshops. The ATSuccess London Symposium essentially embodied our core message:

Package Alexander's discovery to a specific group of people.

Your “niche” as the marketing lore goes.

There were 7 different events on offer, and over 50 teachers got involved. Huge success. Now I start to introduce the interesting thing:

Years ago, an American neighbour of mine expressed mild interest in Alexander's discovery –because of her migraines. One day, she asked if it could help her, and got close to agreeing to have a trial lesson…

Then suddenly she blurted out a startling question:

“It’s not going to change my personality, is it?”

And I immediately thought ‘yes’

and re-wrote a little Shakespeare in my head:

Cry ‘Havoc,’ and let slip the hands of change;

That this great deed shall flow around the earth
