Hi Joy,

Thanks for your comment! Breath, of course, is vitally important. But in the body, everything works together and all the best is limited by the worst. Freedom in the neck, length in the spine, clarity in the hip joints – breathing is less good when all of that is compromised. And it really isn’t any more trouble to explore the whole rather than the part.

I have received so much benefit from all your tips and the mp3 on breathing. I find it more helpful than an emphasis on the neck ~ breathing is dynamic and central.

Thankyou so much. Joy

if head compresses the torso(back), then the torso(back) compresses the limbs.
OR
if the limbs compresses the torso,
then the torso compresses the head or(the torso compresses by the head)
OR
The alexander technique is a ‘MASTER TOOL’to create the other tools(tailor made) for the benefit of the mindbody health.

Since, ‘it is a part of spine, and it is a part of back lengthening process and goes back when the head goes forward and up and all other parts neck,torso(back),limbs are going towards alex directions with stimulus daily activities like sit,walk,bend etc’.

…..
Paradox@
1.The human structures of the body varies like fat,lean,stoop etc.
But, alex directions are same which are fundamental human movements .
2. (paradox)
We cant estimate a persons use, by seeing with our eyes, how he is using his/her body.

…

Examples of indirect procetures of alex@
1. A person walks 8 km/hour habitually for the past 10 years.
If he decreases or increases his speed 6km/hour or 12 km/hour for the next one year then,
he is working out indirectly using whole mind body.

What are other examples?

‘change involves against the habitual activities ‘-f.m.alexander

1. Are you walking with too much movement of arms.?

Change@move with less movement of arms.

2. Are you walking with too much distance between front and back leg?
A. What is the distance between front and back leg?

Change@ walk with less distance between the legs against the habit.

3.while standing habitually what is the distance between the feet?
And change it.

What are other examples of this type?
How alex directions happenning in these changes?
How these changes works?

the chest should be lengthen , to lengthen the shoulders,arms.

The neck should be lengthen to lengthen the chest,pelvis.

The head should be lengthen to lengthen the neck , in our daily activities.

……
Doing 50 (9 hours out of 18)percent alexander directions
AND
not doing 50 percent(9 hours out of 18) alexander directions.

in my daily activity like sit,walk,stand,bend etc. (The remaing 6 hours for sleeping).

How this utter paradox works?

Alexander finally found his habitual holding of feet on the ground ,arched feet,bend toes created undue tension and this tension synchronized, with the muscle tension of new use directions.

he found all the past years of work what he did was misdirected.
