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! In another installment of “Crispin stretches a metaphor to describe Integrative Alexander Technique”... Are you familiar with the economics terms “leading and lagging indicators”? Leading indicators are things like “building permits filed.” This is something a builder can do on purpose that sets up what’s going to happen next. Buildings will get built. Lagging indicators are things like “new construction sold.” This is a result the builder would like to have happen but can’t...
Hi Reader! Do you like to be told what to do? Many of my clients are independent, creative, think-outside-the-box kinds of people. Not a crowd that loves being bossed around. My own independent disposition is why Integrative Alexander Technique (IAT) really clicked when it showed up in my life in the early 90s. First off, it was something I could learn to use for myself, so I wasn't dependent on my (incredible, amazing, kind, wise) teacher. I was able to avoid injury and stay pretty healthy,...
Hi Reader! Do you know the phrase, “People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones?” As a child, this was very serious instruction. My family lived in a house with large windows. On some level I knew the phrase included a teaching metaphor, but also, with a child's understanding, I thought the lesson was meant especially for us. We had to be very polite or our windows would break. It can be easy to take metaphors literally, because that's how metaphors work. This = that. Sometimes,...
