Alexander technique

Have gone back to taking some Alexander technique lessons... Very subtle. But can really feel it now. The not-doing. The desire to release without doing anything... So simple, so subtle...
How much unnatural tension the body holds... especially living in New York.

Lengthen, lengthen, lengthen... again!

Another session - inner strength... who knew?

Had another session with Jules Paxton. Feel I'm getting stronger and steadier - but not in a direct physical way. More as if everything is integrated and like a well designed structure all the elements support each other and create tremendous strength. An inner stability, confidence, rock-solidness. Jules says this is the Conscious Movement practice I'm doing that is bringing mind,body and spirit into alignment with, what he calls Innate Intelligence. Doing it regularly (I do practice what he teaches me pretty consistently) is making a vast difference to how I feel.
Seems strange how something so subtle creates such inner strength.
I'm a bit awed at myself.
