Beating Winter's Blues

Winter is hard for everyone: back problems arise with all the shoveling that has to be done. Those with money to spare flee the country to sunnier worlds blaming the weather for their problems. Others bring out their remedies to give them some comfort and relief from stiff muscles and aching joints. The common cold and the pesty flu abound; this time the poor old bugs get the blame. Could there be a way out of this yearly chronic state of affairs?

At ages 54 and 44 we can confidently say yes to this. Without exercise regimes, special diets, pills, potions, rubs or remedies we have met the challenges of the winter months. We too have shoveled snow, but without complaint. Now, with April here, the sun out, and the ground reasonably dry, we decided to go out for a lovely walk. Our movements felt light and effortless. We flowed along enjoying the outdoors again. There is nothing more satisfying than improvement, especially as one ages. Moments like these affirm us in our dedication to share this great work with others.

“When an investigation comes to be made, it will be found that every single thing we are doing in this work is exactly what is being done in Nature where the conditions are right, the difference being that we are learning to do it consciously.” -F.M.Alexander
