THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE AND ITS APPLICATIONS

         
 
The Alexander Technique is a method for learning not to lose control, not to be victim of habits and to be at his best in any situation.

As we are ourselves the first instrument we use in anything we are doing, the quality of the use of ourselves will be of primary importance in whatever we will be doing.

We have the choice to apply or not a conscious use of ourselves in what we are doing. In whatever we are doing, because the Alexander Technique can be applied to any human activity.

We really have the choice to act or to react in a habitual way, without any further thought, what is understandable if we trust ourselves enough, or to put into question our way of doing or reacting. If we want to do so, the Alexander Technique is a unique method of self reeducation.

In any activity or behavior that we will want to improve of change, we will have to learn to stop, to suspend any desire, thought or habitual reaction in order to be able to redirect our attention, our movements and our energy in a more satisfactory way. And finally learn to accept how that new way of doing will feel and what new it will involve.

Bit by bit, the association of the new use of ourselves in the new way of doing or reacting will become more and more familiar and easier to accept, easier to trigger and even more desirable than the harmful but so powerful old habits.

The new way of using ourselves will become a second nature and associate with a better control, more efficiency and a better functioning of the organism in general.
