The Alexander Technique | Free Book
A Skill for Life - Fully Revised Second Edition
To live is to face problems and to find solutions for them. We do so
consciously or unconsciously, using intuition, reason, imagination and
many other faculties. We notice a situation, we draw conclusions from
what we see, hear and feel, and we act on our conclusions in a
constant process of observation, analysis and remedy. 'My shoulders
are tight, because I am under a lot of stress, I need a good massage.'
We observe a problem (tight shoulders), analyse the cause (stress) and
seek a remedy for it (the massage). But what if we have misunderstood
the problem? What if our description of the problem is based on false
perceptions, or our analysis on false assumptions? What if the
solution aggravates the problem? This book is about our suppositions,
habits and behaviours. It is about posture and attitude, tension and
relaxation, movement and rest. It is about interpersonal
relationships, sports and performing arts. Above all, it is about
embodied emotions and the body that thinks and feels. In this fully
revised new edition, Pedro de Alcantara invites you to redefine the
meaning of health and wellbeing, using the insights and tools
developed by a man of genius: F.M Alexander.
