I gotta get at least 10x better at articulating what Alexander Technique is I suspect I will always think this, no matter how good I may get at articulating it

@visakanv @m_ashcroft I will henceforth be unable to read Michael's name as anything other than mash-croft

@m_ashcroft @visakanv Don't worry, I will never actually call you this outside the privacy of my own mind. But you'll know I'm thinking it.

@m_ashcroft @visakanv Child me doesn't believe it either TBH. Lots of bad associations with people making fun of names, which is why I'd never actually do this to you.

one of the things I have to lean into I think is the whole "meet people where they are" I can do a bait and switch later, but if people think it's "posture coaching"... maybe I should be more "yes! and..." rather than "no it isn't"

Without realising it, most people have a tendency to become 'fixated' in many ways that cause them harm. Alexander Technique brings about an altered state of consciousness through a kind of mindfulness while in activity. This state enables new choices outside of the fixations.
