Alexander Technique
The common factor in all aspects of life is that how we are using ourselves, the way we do things, affects the result we get. The Alexander Technique is a means of improving that use. It has been called a "pre-technique" that people can apply to furthering their own special skills and activities. It is also essentially a preventive technique with which we can learn to improve and maintain our health.
The individual is the focus of the Alexander Technique. We are all unique, with different bodies, different experiences, and different problems. We go about the process of change in different ways and at different rates. For these reasons, what happens in an Alexander Technique session depends very much on the needs of the client at the time. In the basic sense, though, you will learn an attitude of not trying to gain your ends at any cost, and, at the same time, how to prevent your harmful habits that cause unnecessary stress and restrict your capabilities.
Obviously, since what you are changing are patterns built up over many years, a permanent change will not be brought about overnight. However, the person who learns to stop and take time, to think constructively about how he or she uses him- or herself in everyday life, will find that this simple procedure can have far-reaching results.
The Alexander Technique can help you:
- Understand the root cause of neck/back pain
- Let go of stress/tension and re-discover ease/joy in movement
- Improve co-ordination, posture and balance
- Improve your energy levels
- Gain a better understanding of human functioning
- Build up core strength
- Get back in touch with your authentic self
