There are great benefits to learning the Alexander Technique.
You may be suffering from neck pain, shoulder pain, back
pain, Repetetive Strain Injury, or some form of muscular
tension, but the A.T. can show you how bad postural habits
and incorrect movement patterns can be causing your
problems. By learning the Alexander Technique you can
regain good posture, the correct spinal alignment, calmer
breathing and more energy.Thus you can rediscover A Space
To Be within your self.
However, the Alexander Technique is not only about better
posture. Alexander's real discovery was that all human beings
are a psycho-physical unity and we cannot seperate the
physical from the mental and emotional. You may be suffering
from back pain, but, the underlying psychological and
stress issues also need to be brought into consciousness in
order to permanently resolve them and release the
tension. You may have mental and physical blockages, but
both need to be released in order to reach the point of
freedom. This is this is what the deeper Psycho-physical
aspect of the Alexander Technique is all about. |

A basic definition of the Alexander Technique would be how to
perform every activity or maintain every posture with the
minimum ammount of energy. The Alexander Technique teaches us
how to release unnecessary muscular tension and realign the
posture as we perform our everyday activities. This book "Let
Your Life Flow" explains the physical, psychological and
spiritual benefits of coming back to balance and harmony within
ourselves. Buy your copy now on this website for the
clearest explanation of the A.T. and how it works.
