 We all tend to make more effort than is necessary in everyday activities. Whether this extra effort remains below the level of our awareness or develops into something more aggravating like RSI, depends on the degree to which we interfere with ourselves while we do whatever it is we do. At the core of the technique is the exploration of the connection between the human body and mind. It is concerned with the influence a person’s mental conception of an act influences the manner in which they carry it out. Likewise it is concerned with how, in performing a given act, it becomes habitual and thereafter has an ongoing influence on one’s mental outlook. A teacher will help the pupil to identify where they might be interfering with their available support. Once a trouble area is identified then the pupil is assisted in preventing this interference. Gradually the pupil will acquire the tools to explore outside of their lessons the process of making any activity easier for themselves. The Alexander Technique employs conscious reasoning bring about a more appropriate response to the gravitational field. This improved response has a positive effect on all that we do. |
