Can I do BE all by myself?

If there were one method that I could speak of as a selfhelp method, than it would be BE. The text is very clear and the CD adds to this clarity. On the other hand: BE is not a traditional method and some people will need some explication. A lot of people ask if I teach BE. When I advise them to buy the book and find it out for themselves a while, most of them don't come back to me for lessons. I don't think it is absolutely necessary to take lessons, but I also found that giving people a good start and coach them once in a while is a great way to keep track of the development. My advise would be: buy the book, read it, try it for a month and THEN take a lesson or two. Personally, I found that beginners need some guidance in the process.
