We tend to gravitate towards the direction we focus on. Notice if anything changes when you gently stay aware of which way is up ⬆️↗️⬅️
📖 Personal notes: This is a thought I come back to every now and then, but also leave aside sometimes. At the moment I'm finding it really helpful, but at times it triggers my tendency to "fix" my posture and physically try to extend towards the up direction. As long as it stays just a thought that arises from curiosity/interest, it can be very valuable. I might phrase it "I wonder which way up is", or "I'll let my mind/body know"
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.
