    I don't know what the therapeutic value of the Alexander technique really is. However, for ASMR, it's very relaxing.

    Great video. Both at showing an introductory session and Laura your insightful quesions to explore more about the deep understanding of Alexander technique. Also that teachers aren't thinking about their posture all the time, or at least not when playing football with their children.

      I’m a reiki attuned nurse- I don’t charge for my special contribution to healing , but the results are reinforcing of the value of Reiki . Just had introductory experience with Alexander Technique - seeking more info because the results were astounding . Pity you aren’t aware of the high cost of western biomedicine and the adverse effects of “ belief” despite unsatisfactory results - up to and including death. .

I’ve been a patient of Traditional Chinese Medicine for 24 years. - after studying the history / basis of Chinese Medicine.

    I find this fascinating, particularly the reference to taking the calm peaceful, surrendered state into everyday life, not just during meditation, without introducing any tension into the body. Interestingly this is only properly described in the full video. I am interested - how have you got on with carrying the state you discovered in the session, into your everyday life Laura? Thankyou so much for your time in sharing this information 🥰

    Relaxation exercise? Sure. A Godfather of ASMR. Perhaps affirmatively for many.
    However, the wreak of pedantic silliness I unintentionally detect through the -explanation- and purpose of his actions paint my status in an almost immediate fatigued gripe.
