Don’t let your Demented Mechanic mess your breathing up
Remember that demented mechanic I wrote about in last week’s article? We found out that not allowing your chest to rest on it’s proper support forces you to over-work your back. It makes you haul your chest up off it’s proper support and hold it dangling there.
Dangling your chest over it’s proper support is hard work. Yet, almost everybody does this. We do it even though such behaviour is as demented as last week’s imaginary mechanic. Our demented mechanic decided that it wasn’t safe to rely on the hydraulic lift to hold your car up while he worked on it. Remember how he dangled your car from a crane instead?
Mad as it is, almost nobody escapes this mass dementia. And that’s why almost nobody escapes working their back far too hard. No wonder this develops so often into otherwise unnecessary back pain.
This week’s instalment
This week’s instalment is two articles that I actually wrote many years ago. Even if you’ve already seen them, you’ll need to refresh your memory so that you can see how last week’s article connects up with a proper understanding of breathing.
Here are those two articles:–

If you would like clarification about anything in those articles, email me. I don’t want anybody to miss out because they don’t understand it.
Next week’s instalment
So read those two articles. You’ll enjoy them. You’ll also be able to understand my next article where I show you how to breathe deeply and effortlessly.
I look forward to that and I hope you do too.

Personal Coaching by Philip Pawley
If you want to get the best kind of help, come to me for an introductory lesson in Liverpool.
If you’re too far away, then the next best thing is to get personal lessons and advice from me online at Repoise.com, my on-line school. (Both far-away and local pupils use Repoise).
In more detail:–
If you’re in Liverpool (or can get to Liverpool)
- There’s nothing better than individual lessons. My practice is at 37 Hope Street, Liverpool L1. Ring me on 0151 708 6172 to book an initial consultation and first lesson. (Leave your number so I can get back to you).
-
If you’re short of funds, you can still have first class training from me — though it will require a little more work on your part.
The thing to do is have an individual, in-person lesson just once a month. That will entitle you to also get regular on-line lessons from me through Repoise. That way, you have the best of both worlds: in-person lessons and very regular, even daily, on-line Personal Coaching by Philip Pawley from me. That’s a real bargain because Repoise costs the equivalent of three lessons a year to everyone else.
Ring me on 0151 708 6172 if you want to arrange this.
- I occasionally run group lessons. If you’re interested in these, go here for details.
If you’re further away and can’t get to Liverpool
- There’s still nothing better than individual lessons. Here’s where you can find a teacher near you in the UK or elsewhere
- I suggest you also get direct day-to-day guidance from me by joining Repoise.
If you’re having plain Alexander Technique lessons from someone else, you still need to discover the Smiling Back Method of the Alexander Technique. You’ll get a lot more out of your lessons when you do.
