Q: What is a definitive description of the Alexander Technique?
A: The Alexander Technique is:
- A lifelong exploration
into the territory covering the description we have given ourselves
as a species - that of human beings. Something, unfortunately that
we rarely are.
- Learning to
live quietly and without conflict inside the structure we inhabit.
Interrupting stereotyped response patterns.
- Gaining clarity
of the direction of our being.
- Acquiring the
ability to learn from the inside.
- Awareness and
presentness and realising our narrowing of both.
- Raising to consciousness
that our intention will shape everything - and realising that clarity
of intention is of paramount importance - not just its accuracy, but
also its appropriateness.
- Named after
Frederick Matthias Alexander - who often referred to the Technique
as The Work.
- Whatever you
understand it to be at this point in time!
