Stress and Relaxation

Monday, July 28th, 2008

AT 2Humans are so accustomed to the stress and tension that we carry it with us throughout our day that, unless we are in pain, we rarely notice it. Yet, it has a powerful impact on our health and on every goal we set out to accomplish.

The potential of the human body is compromised by the stresses and strains of modern life. The potential for strength, poise and fluent movement is very great. As we grow up we gradually develop habits to states of mind that produce slouching, holding our breath, not using our legs when we bend, holding a pen or using a computer with excessive tensions. We do not realize that we have the capacity to do all these things without as much stress or tension. In today’s workplace more people are off work due to back pain than any other complaint. RSI is becoming more common and the number of people suffer from stress-related illnesses is on the rise. Many therapies and relaxation techniques are available to undo the damage. People are even working out in the gym to keep fit. But unless we become aware of how we misuse our bodies in daily life nothing will change and problems will recur.

The aim of the Alexander Technique is to learn how to let go of our habits and tensions so that we can think and move more freely, conserve our energy and manage the stresses and strains of daily life.

The Alexander Technique helps you use the correct amount of effort for a particular activity. You will have more energy for all activities as a result. You will be able to function with greater ease, freedom and control.

The teacher guides the student through a series of simple movements during a lesson. The student will become more aware of them self, learns to observe and change habits that interfere with optimum functioning. Part of each lesson takes place on a padded table with the student dressed in comfortable clothing. The student reclines and the teacher gently realigns the student’s spine. This is how the teacher teaches the student to adjust posture that interferes with fluid and easy movement.

The Alexander Technique in New York offers a series of weekly lessons taught over a period of several months, which is recommended in the beginning. Lessons are always individually taught and geared to the particular needs of that individual.

Primary Control of Bad Habits

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

AT 5It can take time to understand the concept the primary control. The name, primary control, refers to the relationship between the head, neck, and the remainder of the body that allows us to stand and move gracefully. Like a snake when it slithers along, the head and neck lead as the body follows. In relation to the back and the remainder of the body, too many humans have a dysfunctional tension and disturbance in the head and neck. Primary control promotes the experience of graceful movement that would otherwise be lost.

The Primary Control is not a posture. As we move throughout the day, this dynamic relationship is constantly changing. The challenge in learning the Alexander Technique is not so much to activate the Primary Control, but to avail ourselves of this relationship during our life, whether we are playing the piano or teaching or sitting at a computer–right while we are living, doing whatever we are doing.

You achieve this by inhibiting your habitual reaction to any stimulus. By this, we refer to your ability to intercept any habitual response to any stimulus. For instance, when playing the piano, a pianist who always misses a particular note in a piece does so in a particular way - a habitual way of playing that note.

The Alexander Technique student detects the habitual response through an increased awareness which is present before the note is missed. The student “inhibits” their usual response to that section of the music and directs themselves in the fashion they have learned from the Alexander teacher, i.e., neck free, head forward and up, etc. This aids their ability to elicit the Primary Control, which allows new insight into their dilemma. All of this can happen so fast that the inhibitory process is actually renewed again and again with no beats lost. Inhibition is crucial to the learning of this technique. We continually respond to stimuli from a familiar, habitual frame of reference.

So that we can recognize our habits and perhaps replace them with unknown and unfamiliar responses. We are required to have true inhibition so that we can be constantly open and attentive to ourselves.

What people who study the Alexander Technique in New York have is not fewer “bad habits” but a way of recognizing their habits and a way of addressing them. Its teachings give you a particular freedom from habit and tension, which leads to a feeling of movement potential rather than one of weight and fatigue. Descriptions of the results of the work are always insufficient. The experience of a hands-on lesson is difficult to describe. One can only experience.
