In presenting and demonstrating this work in person, The Alexander teacher’s goal is to help you see things about you, outside and inside, that you might not have looked at before. We work to present them in the best way of engagement, not shocking, pushy or ideological. Instead, everything in acceptance, and there with you observing. It can be unnerving and takes courage. Sensitivity rules here.
It’s a beautiful experience to simply wait with the process of unfolding a common set of both posture and assumption. Our sense of ourselves in process, tells the tale of undoing better than words. To open and exercise tolerance in receiving the new is for me, a feat of strength. I used to love when my teachers would, with just a few key words coupled with hands on work, melt my resistance and fear of being taught something new. Letting up ego concerns for 30 seconds to just be?? Try it!
