The assistant runs out of power at 28:24 but the back-up generator kicks in shortly afterwards.
All he needs to do now is to bend his knees, quite quickly.
Asmr. Calming voice. Gentle touch. Human contact. Love your videos Anthony. I’ll sleep well this morning
I really enjoyed this one because you can see a huge difference by the 25 minute mark. When they came in, their neck and back movements were very rigid and tight (I'm not an expert but they looked to be struggling with the movements a bit at first) but halfway into the video, they seem to be effortlessly flowing off and onto the chair and their head is moving just as smoothly. Awesome to witness.
Edit: what I think I meant was they had trouble "allowing" movement in the beginning
I love seeing their posture when they first walk in vs when they leave. Amazing transformations occuring within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea 😂
Lovely little guidelines
Unintentional ASMR is the best. Lots of triggers from this one.
BIG ASMR Triggers for sure!!
'its not a choice, it just is" Yes that really is a perfect description of the technique!
This is true when it's already working. But before that it's all choice. You have to make innumerable choices to get to the space of just IS.

Without you, we'd all probably be watching historical archival footage from the early 2000s! Thank you so much!
I want you to think like a kite. really love these videos so relaxing
🪁
People say oh it’s a placebo affect, well in my opinion activating your placebo affect makes the brain and body heal itself
watching Anthony's hands - informative
The difference between 0:42 and 45:51 is pretty noticeable.
that's actually really impressive
Except the acting...the acting is still pretty poor.
@@omfgSHORYUKEN It isn't impressive. Point out to anyone they are slouching, they'll immediately correct their posture. Without the 20 minutes of faff seen here.
@@sholton3006 Out of respect for Anthony Kingsley, I won't get too upset, but if I might make a suggestion? Remove your tinfoil hat and check it at the door.
@@firedrake7663 The whole point of this demonstration is to condition mind and body. If you tell someone they're slouching, they'll make a conscious effort to correct it, but sure enough, they'll forget all about it in the business of life. The Alexander technique isn't faff, it's to ensure that the teachings get drilled into your subconscious so that you don't actively have to think about it, you think about nothing, you just do what you have to do automatically. At least watch his videos and listen to his explanations before waffling on. Show some respect.
And just think to yourself, "No, not in my old way."
Charles Dibben Lovely little guidelines
Softens and widens. It widens.
And it's effort....less.
4.5 kilos... And that's a lot... Sitting on a little neck...
I want you think like a kite.
This is the most relaxing set of videos on you tube
These videos are wonderful. Thank you.
"Lovely little breath..."
Wow, it’s like Christmas! Another video! ✅🧘🏼♂️
The key is to stop the automatic response towards stimulus!
He forgot to say No, not in his old habits.
It’s effort-less
Ppp
It links that. It links that
Imagine your head is a kite
Lovely. Little. Guide. Lines
And a lovely breath. By lovely breath I mean..
Finally great sound quality - please keep posting
I need this done
Great promotional video for the work, having been involved with the Alexander Technique since 2010 I am very interested in your wearing of "shoes" during lessons. Having visited a number of schools and having lessons in a private home with a teacher for four years it's a first to see a teacher or pupil/student in anything other than socks on their feet.
Shoes are really not the enemy. There is nothing holy - excuse the pun- about socks! If you can look after yourself, the you can stand on your head as far as I am concerned...
@@AlexanderTechnique33, I love your loafers.
@@AlexanderTechnique33 Dear Anthony, patient visits you/works with you 10-15 times, and then never again? success always guaranteed? no home work? thank you
@@LajosKormos. Hi Lajos, Success and failure are nor very helpful terms here. It's much more about development of capacities. Learning to be less reactive. Maintaining more stillness and ease in the face of challenges. Life is your homework and not some random or specific exercises. Growth has no limits.
@@AlexanderTechnique33 super fast and super informative! thank you very much!
Let the shoulders widen, the back lengthen....
and freee the neck
and the torso to soften and widen
@@jdicarlo77 and widen
Back was never meant to be triangular, square like a good field.
🤣

Brown back, wholemeal
I massage myself profoundly every night...
phrasing.
Whoa nice! Fast uploads awesome to see!
I need this in my life.
Crazy. Look at the sitting posture difference between the start and the end.
Thanks so much for sharing
Thanks for watching!

This looks incredibly interesting, how do you find out more about this. ?
Hi Tom, You will find loads of resources on the description below the video. And feel free to contact me with any questions.
Is Alexander technique a mix of physiotherapy and chiropractic? Making a more practical technique?
I happened upon this technique quite by accident.
I’ve had chronic sore throat pain for many years and with no help from ENT’s over the years. I accidentally found a connection between the position of my head in relation to my neck and found that when I intentionally center my head along my spine/neck, my breathing improves and there is less constriction in the throat and hence less soreness in the throat. I have a tendency to jut my head forward when I walk or when sitting.
I have no idea if this method relatives to this at all, so looking for some input here.
I think you have stumbled on some very interesting truths about the relationship between health and the Head, Neck and Back Relationship. And yes, this does connect to the Alexander Technique. Good luck with your ongoing explorations...
quite quickly
I like Brew By Numbers too :)
massive ASMT tingles
Come away from it more than you are
This is Ericksonian hypnosys.
Not enough sandwich breath
This video is great ASMR. Exactly though, what is the point of this exercise?
To train the mind to adopt better habits regarding posture and movement, in order to reduce straining muscles unnecessarily.
looks pretty rediculous but i guess it reinforces new sitting/posture muscle memory? its basically posture practice right? Idk some woo-woo shit
Stay back
British people crack me up. The everyday language is so much different than in America. They always seem to make things sound worse than they really are. I don't think it's intentional.
Yes, us Brits are a weird bunch. We also say "tomato" wrongly!!
@@AlexanderTechnique33 I meant no disrespect with my comment. I just find the slang or everyday language in other countries interesting. I'm American so everything is funny and we are gun crazy (common misconception by other countries). Looking forward to more videos.
No offence at all. All in good humour. I wish you a very happy 2022!
