The Alexander Technique
The Art of Being Yourself
How do you carry yourself? When asked this question,
many people confess that they have
"bad posture." This may be true to some extent, but it
misses the significance of the "carriage"
question. As we move through life, we are our only
instrument for living. Thus, the way we carry ourselves
is the way we live.
We have all experienced that
subtle but significant sense of release, ease and exhileration
that comes over us when we are hearing a stirring piece of music,
sitting with a loved one in intimate silence,
or feeling "flow" in activity we love. Is this release in the mind
or the body? It can be hard to say. At such moments,
it's as if our minds and bodies unite in the understanding that we don't
have to do so much in our lives. These wonderful moments
of connection don't happen because we do them. We can, however, live in
a way that allows
them.
The Alexander Technique is the practice of tuning your human mind-body
instrument so that you can play your life with ease, energy and power.
