Hi Reader! How are you doing? An answer I've been hearing recently is "scattered." Back in my office admin days, every so often the computer would get slow, and in the 90’s, that was reeeeally sloooooow. The IT guy would come to my desk, open up a secret window and type in "defrag C:"– system defragmentation – to gather all the little bits of information that were cluttering the system. My very non-technical interpretation of what was happening is that the defrag tidied little remnants of inefficient code or straggling info from interrupted actions. All those little stray bits that had been slowing the system down got sifted neatly together to create more open space on the drive. More bandwidth. More capacity for the next great thing. You probably know where this is going… This is part of the magic of Integrative Alexander Technique. Yes, it makes things more efficient by offering clearer paths of movement. It helps clean up the messages we give ourselves. It allows us to do what is useful now, in our today body. And that creates more bandwidth, more space for what comes next. Could you use a little more capacity? Your own personal system defragmentation? Come to a Lab, book a Private Session, or book a call to share what’s going on for you and how Integrative Alexander Technique can probably help. No computer beep beep boop. Just you, being a human. Here for you, Crispin To sum it up, with links:

Hi Reader! How are you doing this Fall? I don’t know about you, but I’m getting a lot of voicemails and texts. The bot brigade wants my attention. And for me to settle that mysterious tax bill. Let’s talk about using our attention with intention. One of the things clients new to Integrative Alexander Technique often say is, “Oh, this is about being intentional.” Yes, it is. And to get there, you first train your attention to figure out what’s actually happening. Finding clarity between what's...
Hi Reader! Happy Fall! 🍁 How’s it going so far? Are you reaching for the cozier clothes? Me, I’m in comfort mode. Last week, in a fit of nostalgia, I made pudding from scratch. Not from a box! I feel very accomplished. (LMK if you want the recipe.) Another comfort-seeking thing I've been doing is to deep dive on whatever song is playing on repeat in my brain. Now, the jukebox in my brain is not that sophisticated. It's quite literal. For instance, this week, the song has been the Queen/Bowie...
Hi Reader! How is your summer shaping up? We spent a muggy week in Woodstock, NY, a lovely small town with a big reputation. The close heat brought me right back to childhood. Ahh, this is what summer feels like. We can’t possibly get anything done. Productivity must go on pause. How do you feel about productivity? I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, it’s necessary. In my small business, I’m always asking, What’s the most effective strategy? What’s the best use of my time? What’s the ROI...
