Constructive Rest Guided Audio (Alexander Technique)

Hi there. My name is Morgan Rysdon and I'm an Alexander Technique teacher.
This is a self-guided audio for Constructive Rest.
Constructive Rest is an integral part of learning the Alexander Technique and is recommended as a daily practice. Its purpose is to quiet down your nervous system, calm your mind, and relax your breathing.
Find a quiet space in your home, turn off your devices, and lie down on a yoga mat with a few books underneath your head. Bend your knees and keep your feet flat on the floor. Make sure to remove all distractions for the 10-15 minutes that you will be lying here. Then follow along with this audio guiding your conscious thinking.
You will begin to notice muscles relaxing, your breath slowing down, and you will feel more present and calm in your whole body.
I hope you find this video helpful and it sparks curiosity in you.

This is lovely - will share.

[@MorganRysdonCenterStudio]

Thanks Sandra-I appreciate it!

[@spl5227]

Does this help release the iliacus as well as psoas major. So the entire iliopsoas muscle. Thanks. And... Your voice is very soothing. Thanks

[@MorganRysdonCenterStudio]

@@spl5227 So sorry I didn't see your comment until now! Yes, in my experience, the Alexander Technique helps with releasing all kinds of muscles (which would include the iliopsoas muscle). The idea is that the more you do "constructive rest" (or the activity of lying down without distraction, focusing your attention with consciousness + attentiveness to your body) the more your body will get familiar and used to being in a calmer and more relaxed state. I hope this is becoming the case for you! And thank you for the kind compliment regarding my voice-I'm glad you find it soothing as I'm sure that can only help give you a better overall experience of this exercise :)

[@nicola1466]

Thank you, I'm glad to try this.. it's really relaxing :) Today is my third day trying 😊 Will this help with poor posture such as forward head tilt?

[@MorganRysdonCenterStudio]

You're very welcome-I'm so glad you gave this a try! (And, yes, this is definitely best done repeatedly, every day, to enjoy maximum benefits.) As for helping to improve forward head posture-also, yes. When we have practice(!) experiencing (physically) where our head and neck 'should' be in relationship to one another it helps us to better remember this when we are upright and moving around throughout our day in different activities. I'd be happy to address any more specific questions you have about the head forward position-is there any area/thing that you struggle with the most with regard to this? I'd love for you to share more about what you're experiencing and hoping to improve.
