Congress Update

Date Sunday, August 21, 2011 at 8:00AM | Share Article- Share
Article

Back in Australia after a great trip to Lugano... the most expensive
city in Europe! The experience at congresses is something like a theme
park... so many workshops and presentations plus hundreds of friends
and colleagues all eager to share and learn. In case you haven't had
time to look, I posted a few photos and videos at the facebook page
(facebook/directionjournal). I also had full intentions of
writing a few summaries here during the week but there was hardly time
to eat let alone write.

The program put together by Jamie, Bob and Irmel was packed. The most
common complaint I heard was "how am I supposed to choose which
workshop... there are so many great options!" Even though the numbers
were down on last congress, it seemed like there was just the right
amount of people attending. Many motivating and inspiring stories of
success from teachers in the field and much science and progress
supporting the work that we already know works. Rachel Zahn's
presentation was probably the highlight for me and I'll dig back
through my notes to give you a summary in a day or two. Kevan Martin
also brought everyone through an emotional journey via Elisabeth
Walker's life story.

Stay with me... I'll bring you some more news soon.

Due to feedback that this is all too rushed (and complicated)... I've
extended the offer a few more days until July 31st. After this time I'm
off to Lugano. Please watch this new video below for a better
explanation of the offer and more info on the bonus resources you get
inside new Direction Journals.

And I've worked out how to flip a video so that things I hold in front
of the camera can be read! duh

cheers Paul

Currency Change Update

Date Monday, April 18, 2011 at 10:42AM | Share Article- Share
Article

For the last 6 months we've been researching a better way to accept
credit card payments. The two different systems that we've offered
since 2008 are Paypal (with credit card option) and Clickbank (credit
card with paypal option). Both of these options were set up to keep our
operational currency in US Dollars.

However... Clickbank is cumbersome for us to sell products through and
doesn't allow multiple items to be purchased! For example, if you want
a subscription but also some of the back issues at the same time, this
cannot be done. And Paypal is good for some, but not for others...

So, we've decided to plug in a standard merchant system from our local
bank (St George) here in Australia from now on. Unfortunately, this now
forces us to bill in Australian dollars. It is kinda coincidental that
the Australian dollar is doing well on the international market right
now...but that's something that we have to wear when the rates go back
the other way eventually!

The prices have not changed, they are simply in AUD instead of USD. On
the "Subscribe" page above there is a free currency converter so that
you can input YOUR CURRENCY against the Australian dollar before you
subscribe. That way you can make a note of the amount that will be
charged to your credit card (give or take a few cents depending on our
bank).

If you would like to post a cheque instead of using credit cards etc,
we now accept cheques in $USD, $AUD, EURO and GBP Sterling. Simply
print off the subscription form and send it with your cheque.

But... be sure to calculate the exchange rate before you post please.

More news soon...PC

Teaching Children Issue Shipped

Date Monday, November 29, 2010 at 3:12PM | Share Article- Share
Article

Thanks for your patience, we have finally kissed our latest
issue goodbye and it will be landing around the globe over the next 2
weeks via DHL.

Working with children is a lost legacy of the originator of the
Alexander technique. Whilst FM Alexander attempted to impart his
discoveries to the next generation it was disrupted by two world wars
and the desperate need for adults to learn how to become conscious.
Since his death in 1955, few teachers have succeeded in making a career
of teaching children the Alexander work. We have interviewed and picked
the brains of half a dozen in this new issue and look forward to a new
era of enlightenment for children as this information is shared and
studied around the world.

It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you our latest journal,
Teaching Children. Please use the following links to check out
excerpts, audio interviews, images, video and downloadable material to
study. Yes, it's all free. Make sure you share all of this information
with as many people inside and outside the education system. It's time
for a renaissance in childhood education and the Teaching Children
issue is the first key in unlocking this new potential for our next
generation.

Teaching Children New Issue

Date Friday, October 1, 2010 at 3:55PM | Share Article- Share
Article

I have good news! The new issue has returned from the designer and it
looks stunning. Would you like a sneak peek at the cover? Click here to
see: Teaching Children
Many hurdles have been jumped (some crashed into) in the process of
creating this issue but the wait will certainly be worth it. Articles
and interviews with some of the most inspirational Alexander teachers
in the world will put FM's legacy back in front of the next generation.
Once you have studied the material in this edition of DIRECTION you
will have the tools, evidence and confidence to support your foray into
the local school or kindergarten.
Following hot on the heels of the Teaching Children issue will be two
more issues by Christmas. While there has been a large gap since the
Schools of Thought issue in April, the writing and interviewing has not
stopped. The new Active Issue (Sports/Fitness issue) encompasses
Pilates, Tennis, Golf, Running, Swimming and a few other active
pursuits in relation to the Alexander principle. Active lifestyles are
becoming more and more important as our population ages. With thousands
of hapless baby boomers being thrust into group fitness sessions
without movement awareness on a daily basis, a new wave of injuries
promises to fill the pockets of physiotherapists and other treatment
professionals. (not to mention the drug corporations)
An unprecedented opportunity exists for Alexander teachers to
participate in designing mindful movement activity (hey, that rolls off
the tongue well) as demand increases for better quality instruction.
Think about what Pilates did for the so-called fitness/health industry
as far as being more mindful and specific about exercise. I'm looking
forward to bringing you the life's work of some inspired Alexander
teachers who teach Alexander to people via their preferred activity.
Imagine if Alexander technique could become known as a revolutionary
new adjunct to golf instruction or learning to play tennis! Would that
increase the work prospects for our profession?
I'll be back in touch when we start shipping the new issue to
subscribers...hopefully in the next few weeks.
Thanks for your patience.

Rick Brennan, Successfully Selling the Alexander technique

Date Thursday, July 29, 2010 at 1:57PM | Share Article- Share

Rick Brennan

NEXT LIVE INTERVIEW: August 9th, 11pm GMT (6pm EST-USA)

I interviewed Rick for the recent DIRECTION issue, Schools of Thought
as he runs a highly successful teacher-training school in Ireland.
Success as a training school to me isn't the number of people on your
course or how many people you graduate, it's about how successful your
graduates are upon entering the real world. In that interview several
months ago I was literally champing at the bit to ask him other
questions...questions that Alexander teachers often ask me.

Rick's expertise is in selling Alexander technique to the common
person...the normal people of the world! Author of numerous books and
never backward in coming forward to the public, Rick has all the
techniques for touching people deeply enough to want more. Join me as I
pick his brain on how Alexander technique is going to survive the next
decade, with or without scientific support to freewheel on.

been teaching the technique full time since 1989 he travels throughout

are a big chunk ($925.2 million). Then there's the equipment/supplies
bill... $2.47 billion.

shoulders, and elbows."

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
