THe Sounds of Silence – Part 2 Backalong, as we say in these parts, I wrote a blog about the intrusion in my life of radio and TV. That was in early June, six weeks ago. Since then I have had no radio and no TV, although the occ…

I was thinking of Simon and Garfunkel's song today, and Peter's entreaty to stop watching the News. So here's a blog ...
The Sounds of Silence For as long as I have lived on my own, quite a few years that is, my normal habit on waking up has been to turn on the radio, to ‘see what’s on’. Throughout the day, I have found it companionable …

Anger Early on, when at first I became interested in Alexander’s technique, I was at a social event, talking to an Alexander teacher who I didn’t know very well. I was curious about “the Work” as she des…

Who Do We Think We Are? Yes, who do we think we REALLY are? I’m thinking about the time when I had not long lived in Devon. I was going through a hard time, one way and another, and decided that a change was needed.…

Well, It’s a Gate Yes I know it’s a gate, and it’s typical of many in the Blackdown Hills, rusty, bent, wired up and not easily opened – really not much good to man or beast you may think. Even Susie th…

BLOG: What's under the FOG?
Well, it’s the village of Uffulme, on the edge of the Blackdown Hills, near here. When Susie and I were out walking one morning this spectacular scene met me. Down there under the fog, it was quite dark, and you couldn’t see much at all. But up here, the view was spectacular.
Get the fog out of the way and what do you see? Yes, it’s that different.
You and I are much the same. If we’re held back by tension we don’t need, then we cannot operate properly. If that tension is in our minds, for sure it will manifest itself somewhere in the rest of us – the way we walk, perhaps, or a migraine, or an aching back, or neck or shoulders, or something else. An injury often upsets our balance and before long we have unwanted tension throughout ourselves, including our minds. We often don’t know what’s going on in us, until we start to hurt.
What to do?
If you can learn to get out of the away of what’s causing the tension, the real “you” will begin to appear, and then things will start to change…
But it’s nearly impossible to do that on your own, which is where I come in. Using Alexander’s discovery, I can show you how you can get rid of the excess tension - and for you to be in the driving seat again.
I am planning a group session in the Tiverton area, so if you’re interested, visit my website at www.expanding-self.com. and leave a message.
Onwards and upwards!
