Ok, but what is it? I'm trying to find information and every is talking about how it can help but NOBODY says what it actually is. How does it work, how is it different, what do you *DO*?
Had to comment and give some good vibes after that icky "worthless" comment LOL. You gave me just what I was looking for: a basic understanding of what the Alexander Technique is about. Your analogies were cute (I am a retired teacher so it's always good to give people familiar context -- nice job! 🤩) Checking out your channel to get more info and give things a try. This makes a lot of sense to me, and as an older person, I am always looking for ways to care for my body. Thank you for putting all the time and energy in that it takes to produce content. Please don't let the mean people zap any of your energy. 😘
The title is misleading, the video does not explain anything about the "Alexander Technique" - just analogies that it's "something" that has to be learned over time with repetition like learning a language or musical instrument.
Thank you so much for your kind comment Tierra! 🙏🏻 🥰 I have a lot of energy and this work excites me-I'm happy to hear you can sense my enthusiasm for the Alexander Technique 😆
Hi Morgan, thanks for the video. I have a friend who had a few AT sessions years ago to help with back and digestion issues. The sessions really helped, so they returned for further sessions for their mental health issues and general struggles with life. They are under the impression that the sessions "set into motion" something unseen that needs no further work and they are "waiting for their new self to emerge". They've been saying for years that they're "nearly there" and will reference their "new self" as though this is a version of self with no issues or struggles. They'll then fall into despair when they hit a low patch again. They've had another few sessions recently that seemed to have helped a little, but their interpretation and expectations of the AT seem to be the same. Having researched the AT a little, I'm concerned that they've been misled, or have misunderstood, what the AT can provide in terms of support. Does the above sound like an AT process? Thanks so much
Hi there, thank you for sharing your friend's experience and your concerns. (And my sincere apologies for my late response, I didn't want to rush an answer and finally found time this evening to address your question.) It is understandable to feel worried if you believe someone may have misconceptions about a particular therapy or approach. And while the Alexander Technique (AT) can indeed offer benefits for physical and mental well-being, it's important to approach this work with realistic expectations as well. In the case you've described, it seems like your friend may have developed unrealistic expectations or misinterpretations of what the AT can provide. The AT is a valuable tool for improving body awareness, movement, and overall coordination, which can indirectly influence mental well-being. However, it is not a quick-fix solution that permanently resolves all issues. Additionally, it doesn't promote living life unconsciously, merely going through the motions. It is important for your friend to understand that personal growth and development are ongoing processes that require active engagement and effort beyond just attending their lessons. Encouraging your friend to discuss their expectations and experiences openly with their AT teacher would be greatly beneficial. Additionally, exploring other forms of support or therapy might offer a more comprehensive approach to addressing mental health struggles. (For instance, I combined therapy with my AT education and found this to be extremely productive when done together. This approach benefited me greatly not only in terms of mental health but also from the perspective of the Alexander Technique.) Ultimately, providing support and understanding to your friend as they navigate their journey of Self is essential. Encouraging them to seek clarification from their AT teacher and explore additional avenues of support can help them develop a more balanced and realistic perspective. I'm genuinely interested in learning more about your friend's journey, including their process, approach, and current understanding. In my experience, I've encountered numerous students who, despite studying with various teachers, struggled to comprehend the personal responsibility inherent in the "work" they needed to undertake independently. This is why I'm dedicated to promoting awareness about the self-work we each have the capacity to engage in autonomously. Taking ownership of this process can be incredibly fulfilling and transformative. 😊 Thanks for your question and for being here! 🙏🏻 I appreciate you! ✨
Thank you for taking time to watch my video and share your thoughts. I'm sorry to hear you found this video to be ‘worthless'. Constructive feedback is always valuable to me, as it helps me improve the content I create. I'm here (like my viewers) to learn and grow. That said, if you have any specific suggestions to make this video more valuable, I'd love to hear them. My goal is to provide content that resonates with viewers and provides meaningful insights. Again, my apologies that my video didn't meet your expectations, with more clear feedback I'd be happy to try and create an alternative video that might resonate better with you. Once again, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
This is a mean and "worthless" comment. Your channel has random home video stuff from freakin 10 years ago -- maybe sit out judging people's crafted and produced content. Sheesh.
