A brand new book by Sue Merry for the general reader, is on its way. This book is a simple, practical guide to relaxing into and enjoying the experience of being human.
In this book you will discover ways to peacefully accept yourself just as you are, with all your quirks and your health issues etc. You will learn two, very easy and useful techniques, that will help you to turn off your body’s threat response when you experience discomfort. This will potentially enable you to face any life situation with the appropriate levels of activation and peacefulness. The book also includes information about children and emotional intelligence, making it of interest to parents, primary carers, educators and Alexander teachers.
The techniques in the book are supported by The Ready List (TRL) website. Here the reader can freely access relevant audio/visual material to aid with their practice and understanding.

To this end we try to offer as many resources free of charge as we possibly can. However we do have some overheads.
If you feel moved to send us a donation we would be very happy and extremely grateful to receive it!
Even just £1 would be marvellous. Thank you!
