THE REPEATED RENEWED THOUGHT IS THE BASIS OF THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE.
What’s the renewed thought?
It means should you repeatedly ask your neck to launch and lengthen, it should achieve this increasingly and stay launched over time, even should you’re not feeling it achieve this.
What are the broader implications, past the Alexander Approach in each day life?
THERE IS THE POTENTIAL TO SPEND MORE AND MORE OF ONE’S THOUGHT IN EASE AND AT PEACE PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, AND EMOTIONALLY.
How does this work?
We normally let our ideas go the place they need, even when we’re making ourselves loopy. What I’m fascinated by is that we are able to have loopy repeated fearful ideas and nonetheless do a activity. But when our ideas will not be self supporting, the duty we’re doing will be laborious on us bodily and mentally.
Does the Alexander Approach renewed thought enable us to do what we’re we’re doing with out put on and tear to the physique?
Sure! How does it do that?
For those who’re doing no matter, from writing, to operating, to enjoying a violin, and also you’re renewing ideas that inform your physique to launch it’s neck, to be totally upright, then irrespective of the bodily demand of the exercise you’re not inflicting put on or tear to your physique, irrespective of how on a regular basis or specialised the exercise is.
As you’re writing, you inform your self to not hunker right down to the web page, so that you’re not compressing your vertebral discs.
As you run you inform your head and neck to launch upwards, so that you’re flowing upwards slightly than falling down beating up your knees as you run.
As you play the violin, you inform your shoulders to be free and cell. Your arms are in fixed movement as you play. In case your shoulders are launched, you’re not immobilizing your shoulders preventing your transferring your arms.
This will likely sound like loads of additional work/focus as you do an exercise, however the different is damaging your physique, particularly in case your ideas are disconnected from what your doing, and also you’re unconsciously stressing out.
I had a brand new consumer the opposite day inform me in a session she wished me to inform her tips on how to do issues on the refined Alexander Approach stage, so she’d do them proper and never have to consider what she was doing.
There clearly is that this a part of the Alexander Approach session the place you make the consumer conscious of tips on how to do what they’re doing with higher and higher ease by the route of the instructor.
However I’ve by no means identified an Alexander Approach instructor that didn’t keep current in actions by the renewed thought; to do the exercise with much less and fewer work and higher coordination and ease over time.
It’s a actual present to your self to take cost of your physique, and to do what what you’re doing with higher and higher ease, in order that your motion habits deepen into you doing much less and fewer work and bodily ease.
