A big part of practising the Alexander Technique is expanding our attention. Instead of focusing hard on one thing, keep a few helpful thoughts at the back of our mind. It can be similar to observing the sky and watching the movement of the clouds, birds, planes. Even when the focus is on one thing, we can still see all the rest pretty effortlessly. Any of the thoughts shared this month are meant to have the same gentle quality of observation. Not putting too much significance or effort, but trust that they will make a difference.
📖 Personal notes:I will share my pick of thoughts for today on the stories (or comments on Facebook)
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.
