Washing up

Washing up the cup -> notice that I am leaning forward -> recall the work done with Judith when I visited LCATT recently -> follow her advice and go 'into monkey' -> it'd be good to remember about it next time before I begin.

Lie-down, lie-down & lie-down

My sister Ania came to visit us for 2 days from London. She almost completed the course of first 10 AT lessons.

When we came back from the visit in the park Monika decided to have a lie-down. Ania and myself decided to join her. We used the guided recording by R.Brennan.

Very nice and simple moment, to be able do some AT work with my wife and sister.

Lesson in Finsbury Park

The part of the application process in LCATT is having the individual with the director and assistant directors of the school. So, today I went for the lesson with Roger.

Good stuff. Very enjoyable and in some ways challenging experience, challenging in a good way.

I appreciate the variety of teaching styles in LCATT, I think it's its real strength. You get the opportunity of working with different approaches and looking at the Technique from different angles. Roger, for example, trained with Walter Carrington.

The space in his teaching room is very engaging. I found it useful to have different shapes and colours around me. They encouraged me to go out of myself. This is good, as my natural tendency is to withdraw my attention inside.

Visit at tLCATT & Anatomy surprise

At last! I finally have some time for writing.

On Thursday I went to visit the AT school - it was great. This place has a good vibe, after 2 hrs of work I almost felt like the human being again. Yes, the Technique works.

There are many things I like about that school, some of them:

- the day of work begins and completes with group inhibition.

- tea/coffee break in the morning is shared at the table, in other words, there's no dispersion.

- some teachers do some hands-on work on people doing the wash-up.

Not to mention great staff and students, and other things. This is the place where you want to spend 3 years of training.

I was also surprised with the anatomy lesson. It was actually very practical, engaging and fun. What? Anatomy?

AT & Children

Today we have listened to a very interesting interview with Gal Ben-or, who is the AT teacher in Israel and specialises in working with children.

Amazing stuff:

Apparently there are not many AT teachers who work with children. I find it surprising, after all this application of the Technique was important to FMA himself.

Breathing

Today I noticed again that when I ask my neck to be free my breathing deepens and becomes more audible. What's this all about I'm wondering?

Below is the picture of the LCATT I have taken yesterday while waiting for my lesson:
