I am returning to work after what feels like a mini-sabbatical – I have been out of the office since December 20. This extended time off really helped me to process many of the things I’ve been exploring, re-charge myself to return to teaching private lessons and classes, and afforded me the opportunity to take a life-changing trip to India for much of the month of January. I am looking forward to getting back to all my students, and to finding out how my teaching will be renewed, fresher, and with perhaps a different perspective.
During my time off, I’ve been thinking a lot about the art of processing. How is it that we, as humans, go from an abstract experience into finding an application in our own lives? When we have experiences, why do some seem to be integrated seamlessly, while others take months to work through? How is it that I have recently completed a six-month deep dive into the Chakras, and yet still find myself wondering how this will affect my work?

The Jain Temple in Rajasthan. A long passage to a new understanding?
To help myself understand the journey from experience to thought to action, I’ll be undertaking another 21 day writing series, starting on Tuesday the 28th. If you’re interested in going on this journey with me please sign up for my blog series so that you get my everyday posts, which won’t be going out to my entire mailing list. This year’s writing may have something to do with Alexander Technique, because that is the filter through which I see the world, but will be less focused on the specifics of the Technique than last year’s series, and more about the spiral journey of processing that we all undertake throughout our lives.
If you were signed up for last year’s blog series, you’ll already be on the mailing list. Please feel free to opt out if you’re no longer interested – you won’t hurt my feelings. And if you didn’t opt in last year, I hope you will this time around.
Here’s to the journey!
