Even in our most seemingly still moments, there is a gentle rebalancing all through our bodies. The more aware of it we become, the less likely we are to go against it.
📖 I usually find it easier to forget about this when there is no movement in the environment around me. I also find it more likely to brace when I'm deeply absorbed into my thoughts. Even being deeply absorbed, though, becomes a lot more pleasant with a reminder to allow the gentle movements of my body to happen.
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.
