		<description><![CDATA[A lot of people in the Alexander world emphasise the need to understand the complexities of our physiology, and act on that understanding, if we are to have any hope of improving our use. That is, by knowing more about the way we should ideally function, we can somehow make it happen.. Given the obvious [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two things I&#8217;ve read recently about the Technique have struck me. The first was the report by the British Medical Journal that: &#8220;Six lessons followed by exercise were about 70% as effective as 24 lessons.&#8221; The other was the claim by Alexander Teacher, Jeff Hall, that: &#8220;We are selling benefits that exist so far up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The biggest opportunity I see opening up to us is devising a means of teaching the Technique online. I&#8217;ve already proved to myself there&#8217;s huge scope, just from email dialogue. I can&#8217;t imagine how well that could be enhanced, using Skype or its successors. If we can forget about hands on, there&#8217;s no obvious need [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A comment I read recently: &#8220;For two and a half days, every waking moment, I gave those directions&#8211;and I mean *every* waking moment&#8211;except when I was talking to someone, because I can&#8217;t give directions inside my head and talk at the same time. I also added one:  &#8220;my neck to relax, so my whole head [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can experience much the same &#8216;lightness of being&#8217; commonly described as a corollary of Alexander lessons as a result of a many different things happening, such as: Opening a letter and having an unexpected cheque fall out. Talking with someone and making a &#8216;connection&#8217;. Receiving good news. Going on holiday. Listening to certain music. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just passed a couple of weeks in the presence of several adults and two young children. The adults spent most of their time lounging in various designs of chair, while pursuing a variety of &#8216;activities&#8217; &#8211; reading, computing, talking, eating, drinking; occasionally, they would stand still, doing other activities &#8211; cooking, washing up, pontificating; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My main quibble with the traditional approach to teaching the Alexander Technique, which is predominantly hands on, is the dependence it appears to foster in students, which can make for a lengthy and problematic learning process. At least, it did with me; although not everyone responds in this way. My overriding impression from the initial [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve often wondered how to distinguish between &#8216;feeling things out&#8217;, an activity that bedevils Alexander enthusiasts, making them look, and probably feel, stiff and awkward, and &#8216;feeling the way to a better place&#8217; which , I believe, represents the best available way of learning the Technique. The danger is of confusing misguided attempts to recreate [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In spring 2007, I went surfing. The weather was wild, the water was cold, and although it was exhilarating being thrown about in the waves, it was also chastening to feel so helpless pitting my relatively puny body against the churning tide. At a certain point, turning one way but being propelled in the opposite [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently visited India. Most of our time was spent in Goa, must of it on the beaches. Some were empty, others crowded. It was interesting to watch how differently people walked. Nationality seemed to have more of a bearing than age. There were a lot of hawkers, selling everything from fruit, to lengths of [...]]]></description>
