]]> Comment on Ideas Without Ego, Questioning Motives by RJB http://myhalfof.wordpress.com/2007/09/11/ideas-without-ego-questioning-motives/#comment-57 RJB Mon, 26 Nov 2007 11:07:13 +0000 http://myhalfof.wordpress.com/2007/09/11/ideas-without-ego-questioning-motives/#comment-57 That was an interesting read. In a business context the removal of personal pronouns accentuates the business and leaves out personal opinions and ego. Individuals view technical experts who consistently use pronouns as egotistical, and that trait has little favor in business. (From a dollar point of view), or to others in general. The concept of removing pronouns from your everyday speech brings about a self awareness that would not otherwise be realized. Just how often is a pronoun used when speaking? By diligently recording the recurrence of spoken pronouns in a single individuals daily conversation, (either recorded by the self or other), the ego becomes aware of a position it otherwise would not. Once awareness comes into light - the essence of the ego is not only aware, but may assume negative feelings, or feelings of selfishness. Corrective behavior? The experiment is a sound one, and offers tremendous insight. -rb That was an interesting read.

]]> Comment on How is Primary Control Taught? by myhalfof http://myhalfof.wordpress.com/2007/09/20/how-is-primary-control-taught/#comment-3 myhalfof Mon, 24 Sep 2007 05:12:47 +0000 http://myhalfof.wordpress.com/2007/09/20/how-is-primary-control-taught/#comment-3 Welcome Colin! Thanks for your comment. Patrick MacDonald was a really amazing first generation Alexander teacher who was nicknamed "the Mechanic" because of the practical organizational knowledge he could convey with the quality of his hands. He was personally responsible to decide that I was ready to put "hands-on" when he was a visiting master guest teacher in my training course. In our field of Alexander Technique, a first generation teacher means this was someone who trained with F.M. Alexander, the originator of the Technique. If you want to learn more about Patrick MacDonald's work, here is a link with a review of the book MacDonald that is a compilation about his teaching style: http://books.google.com/books?id=8p3MLa4-pPUC#reviews_anchor Welcome Colin!
