Day 14

Have you thought of what effect different words have on your mind/body? Depending on your past experiences, native language, dialect, different phrasing will affect you differently. Are your thoughts based on words, or is there a lack of vocabulary altogether? What different phrases can encourage a freer neck?

📖 I personally find sound effects the most effective and quick when thinking of directions. The sound of a relieved exhale reminds me to let go of what's unnecessary much quicker than any verbs. There is a wide variety of what works for everyone and at different times, so there's a lot of room to play and experiment.

10 minutes of mindful movement a day 🍂

For the month of October I will be posting a different thought/theme each day to bring some Alexander inspired mindfulness into daily activities.

To follow along, simply

🚴 Choose an activity. It can be the same one or different each day

(the more inconsequential and boring the better)

🔍 Use the activity as an opportunity to explore the theme

📖 Take note of anything interesting (I will be sharing some of my own notes/observations as I follow the themes too)

If you have any questions, thoughts, observations, disbeliefs, challenges, I would genuinely love to discuss it, so feel free to reach out.

Disclaimers:

1. These are some thoughts I have found helpful during my Alexander journey. They are definitely not all the technique is or has to offer.

2. ⚠ Health and Safety ⚠

Don't choose an activity that requires you to handle a vehicle or sharp object, or can put you or others in danger.
