honestly, someone who does it near perfectly is what you want for instructional videos, it gives a reference for those who are pure "amateurs" but yet allows enough "mistakes" for you to break down the entire process so viewers can learn.
Apparently she's still teaching teachers and doing conferences in Sydney AU (if google is to be believed). She could make stupid bank just recording a few and putting out a Teacher's Series.
I genuinely hope Diana is getting this ad revenue even though she's never reposted, and not just TH-cam. Diana deserves the few grand she's earned from just this one video.
I got in touch with Diana to let her know about her success and asking about the possibility of more videos. She replied: Hello Sam, Thank you for your email. No, I had not realised my TH-cam video had reached 1 million hits. To be honest I don’t look to check. However, I have informed my Alexander teacher colleagues in UK and elsewhere of your suggestion. Meantime I am quiet baffled as to exactly why there is so much interest in my clip. Kind regards Diana Devitt-Dawson
Sam are you planning to follow up with her? If so please let us know what she says. It would be amazing to have more videos from her. Seriously I’d do at least $20 of Patreon support for her. Maybe $50. She’s hands down the best there is.
After about a thousand times of watching this video to sleep, it struck me today that Diana is using Alexander principles for her own posture the entire duration of the video! Even when she's bending to adjust Gita's posture, she doesn't break the holy head-neck-back Trinity! Mind. Blown.
I don’t know if anyone else is out here but I watch this video every night. It’s been a few years and this is still my go to ASMR video to fall asleep to and the maker of it won’t even know it. I have this thing memorized. Thank you for allowing my neck to be free and my sleep to come fast ❤️
We are all melting here with only Diana's voice. Can you imagine what it must be like to be in Geeta's place and add all that light-touching while you listen to her? I've never been more jealous in my life.
The way Diana speaks! Her tone of voice,her deliberate choice of words,all of it- mesmerizing. 🙃Should I be embarrassed that I’ve fallen asleep to this video more times than I care to admit?☺️🤷🏻♀️
The genius of Diana. Only one video ever. Millions of views. Hasn’t felt the need to do another one. It’s like if the Beatles only recorded Strawberry Fields Forever’ and nothing else.
Maybe you can't change your posture just by watching an Alexander technique video. It's nice for a first impression but you better take some real lessons. You need a person to correct you multiple times to get it in your mind.
I think I have been watching this for 5 years now. Still cannot figure out how any of this works. None of me feels free. But the comment section - chef’s kiss. If I’m having an awful day, it gives me the laugh I need.
Intentional clicking and tapping grates on me SO MUCH. Literally gives me the opposite of ASMR. This is so much better. You might like this old favorite, the original unintentional asmr th-cam.com/video/UedaJPNGzoo/w-d-xo.html
I find that one component of successful ASMR is that the person is very much themselves. I often feel mesmerized and tingly when I'm with people who are fully at ease with who they are, especially if the way they are is safely intimate, like Diana. Some people might feel uncomfortable with her gentle vulnerability, or even feel like they should laugh or mock. But Diana is so genuine that one could never really do that. Which leaves only the option of getting swept up in her intense belief in the seemingly wispy concept of the Alexander technique. Which is not at all to denigrate the technique. Quite the opposite, really. Diana is modeling the importance of something so slight being so very important. Maybe that's another good definition of ASMR. Making something as simple as standing up and sitting down the center of the universe for fifteen minutes.
At least for me, there is *only* unintentional ASMR. The sincerity and dedication towards whatever mesmerizingly boring or unfamiliar task is being carried out is absolutely critical to the experience. I think that's something that just cannot be faked.
Ive watched this so many times for ASMR purposes, and a biproduct of watching it so much is that ive actually started paying attention to the "alexander technique" in my daily posture...
Suze I totally feel you lol I have terrible posture and I'm alaways leaning forward because I'm quite tall. Now when I catch myself I go through the "let neck be free, shoulders widen" in my head lol.

I was in Tesco last week and there was a guy wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the words "effort-less"!!!! I just wasn't sure so passed him and muttered "let the neck be free" and he simply turned around and highfived- me 🤩😁
My mother passed away when I was young so I listen to this and imagine that's what she'd sound like and it helps me fall sleep. I'm 24, I feel psychotic for admitting this lol
I've watched it a number of times, and at some point become aware that I'm all slouched over. In shame, I start trying to sit up straighter and "free my neck" automatically.
I thought if I became a side sleeper I could stop this but phone corners literally become smart missiles for my eyeballs. I'd almost buy one of those phone holders that wrap around the neck if I didn't already know i'd be laughed out of bed.
Isnt it so fascinating how someone's voice has the same neural response in millions of people around the world? Clearly there is something in our brains which responds to something unexplainable in this woman's voice that we havnt tapped into yet .
I watch this daily for the voice. Today I youtubed "alexander technique" to see what else is out there and I found another one featuring actor William Hurt (not kidding), which was intriguing, but I immediately felt shame for cheating on this video. And now I'm back here where I belong.
Darren Thornberry That one, with Jane Kosminsky, is also ASMR gold. I have neck &upper back issues sometimes, so I found that video while looking into Alexander Technique. I stayed for the tingles.
I watched that video, but it made me cringe so hard; he seemed so uncomfortable. That bit where she gives him a direction and asks if he can feel the difference, and you can clearly see him starting to say "no", then catching the microscopic cue from her and promptly changing his answer to "oh yes, completely different, 100%" was a particularly low point.
I’m in month 11 of the Longest Year in Modern History, and the comments section of this video is the only thing that brings me any fekkin joy anymore. Bless you all 🙏
This lady's voice is exquisite. Both timbre and clarity. It's what used to be called 'educated Australian'-you hear it less and less now unfortunately. I hope she make more clips. :-)
She sounds to me like an Anglo South African who has lived in Australia for a long time....but you may be right. She does have that educated Australian pronunciation which can be found in older generations of Aussies who had private education.
You might be right as well. I remember so many people speaking like that in my younger days, and many used to be on the ABC. Either way I love hearing it again. :-)
Reading these comments I feel like I’m in some sort of cult worshipping this video. I’ve probably seen it 40 times myself!😂 Brothers and sisters, we shall allow! our! necks! TO BE FREE!!!
September 11th, 2024 My scoliosis continues to trouble me. This video has not helped my scoliosis but has dramatically increased my chances of relaxation and sleep.
This video was my everyday bread. Then it got a little worn for me . Now , the first ten seconds listening after a couple years, almost had me drooling
I actually went to a Alexander technique class after watching this video (500 times). Very pleasant, but the instructor wasn't nearly as magical as Diana. I would LOVE to take a class from her.
Well it is no wonder since Alexander Technique is about the habitual reactions you stop doing/do less. So it could be said that it's impossible to do Alexander technique but you can think Alexander technique. Muscle follows thought
I know this is an old comment, but I just wanted to let you know that, 3 years on, I still have no idea how to do Alexander Tachnique, or even see a difference in regular vs AT.

With all the money she received from this she has more time to work on her head,neck, and back relationship.
I'd say that's a mic drop. But you and I know Diana wouldn't just let a mic drop.
She even numbers this as Lesson 1, suggesting that more would follow.
@@nathanrichards5565 no she would let the mic be free
It's literally mic dropping moment, except Diana wouldn't just drop the mc, she would have lowered in a controlled motion whilst allowing it to still be free.

She ended up boring through the top of her neck.

I've watched it a number of times, and at some point become aware that I'm all slouched over. In shame, I start trying to sit up straighter and "free my neck" automatically.
Horizontal coma brain meltdown
I'm watching this on all fours
I'm watching this whilst ducktaped to my ceiling
Slouching is fine its spine relaxing itself. Just dont do it all day long.
Fave asmr, lost count how many nights iv dropped my phone on my face.🤪
Phone facials are never appreciated. 😐
I can so relate to that 😅
I thought if I became a side sleeper I could stop this but phone corners literally become smart missiles for my eyeballs. I'd almost buy one of those phone holders that wrap around the neck if I didn't already know i'd be laughed out of bed.
You need a greater conscious awareness of your phone/face relationship
Same
Isnt it so fascinating how someone's voice has the same neural response in millions of people around the world? Clearly there is something in our brains which responds to something unexplainable in this woman's voice that we havnt tapped into yet .
2024?? Anyone still following the lovely little guidelines
I still have no idea how we are freeing our necks - but my resolve to free my neck is greater than ever.
I watch this daily for the voice. Today I youtubed "alexander technique" to see what else is out there and I found another one featuring actor William Hurt (not kidding), which was intriguing, but I immediately felt shame for cheating on this video. And now I'm back here where I belong.
Darren Thornberry That one, with Jane Kosminsky, is also ASMR gold. I have neck &upper back issues sometimes, so I found that video while looking into Alexander Technique. I stayed for the tingles.
I watched that video, but it made me cringe so hard; he seemed so uncomfortable. That bit where she gives him a direction and asks if he can feel the difference, and you can clearly see him starting to say "no", then catching the microscopic cue from her and promptly changing his answer to "oh yes, completely different, 100%" was a particularly low point.
They always say “never read the comments”...... SO wrong in this case, the comments are a gold mine of treasures that endlessly give giggles
I’m in month 11 of the Longest Year in Modern History, and the comments section of this video is the only thing that brings me any fekkin joy anymore. Bless you all 🙏
We're in month 14 of 2020 now, we're still stuck in that year and it's not actually 2021
Diana, please please make more videos!
Mike Pulcinella she's probably dead by now
mh someone43 I can confirm she is still alive, however she is now confined to a wheel chair due to a lifetime of bad posture
Role play responder You're joking right?
Nope, she's still going strong: www.alexandertechniqueinstitute.com.au/post_grad.html
Wtf is alexander??
This is probably the best asmr video on TH-cam, and it is not even supposed to be one
Well.... it was an unintentional asmr vid first
This is head to head with Litas videos. What gives it "by a nose" is this is her only vid, and is unintended.
Of course one of the best voices for ASMR only has one video :(
Daniel M ikr
Daniel M check out whispersred
@@Emma-gs1zk No
Daniel M 😩
Try John Dulake. He made 3 or 4 videos then disappeared but has the best ASMR voice in my opinion
New York Times Magazine July 9, 2023 article calls this video the crown jewel of unintentional ASMR. :)
They weren't wrong
When I first saw it I was like, "Man, this video is slow and long." Now it feels fast and short.
I can't believe it's been 4 years and I still watch this almost every day just to go to sleep.💜

Amazing ASMR voice! I must have watched this video 20 times just to hear this lady's voice!
Only 20? I've seen it like 100 times or more. Relaxes the fuck out of me.
Kerri Sue I watch it for asmr all the time too!!
I must be at around 50 by now
Iv been watching it for 20 months i swear
I lost count. 😁 the technique itself is also helpful
So weird that there's only one video. I feel like she uploaded it then never came back to check it because she didn't think anyone would watch it.
I know I really want someone to contact her
This as well as Maria's towel folding have been my go-to videos for close to a decade, whenever I feel stressed and want to switch off.
Possibly the greatest 14 minutes in ASMR history.
This lady's voice is exquisite. Both timbre and clarity. It's what used to be called 'educated Australian'-you hear it less and less now unfortunately. I hope she make more clips. :-)
She sounds to me like an Anglo South African who has lived in Australia for a long time....but you may be right. She does have that educated Australian pronunciation which can be found in older generations of Aussies who had private education.
You might be right as well. I remember so many people speaking like that in my younger days, and many used to be on the ABC. Either way I love hearing it again. :-)
I loked her biography up. Born in Tasmania. Teaches in Sydney. So she sounds rather like a South Australian as well. Fascinating.. :)
CRIKEY!
Only one I know is John Pilger and Barry Humphreys
Reading these comments I feel like I’m in some sort of cult worshipping this video. I’ve probably seen it 40 times myself!😂 Brothers and sisters, we shall allow! our! necks! TO BE FREE!!!
same!!!!
Hear, hear! :)
Only 40 times? Lol
Alexander be with you.
("And also with you...")
FREEDOOOOOM!
... Quite quickly. It's just lovely.

My scoliosis continues to trouble me. This video has not helped my scoliosis but has dramatically increased my chances of relaxation and sleep.
Who's Alexander? The Lord of sitting?
Haha!! "One chair to rule them all" xD
lmao, i think he's a celestial entity that is worshipped by passionate chair sitters
He's the lord of allowing the neck to be free and the widening torso.
Alexander the Great, you haven't heard of him?
No. That is Dogen Zenji.
I'm not interested in the technique, I'm just loving the way Diane speaks I could listen to her voice for hours so relaxing
Kate Rimmer can you imagine her narrating a book? I would sleep so soundly
Joel Zerr of
Absolutely I'd love it! So calming and satisfying lots of tingles haha
I have. ;)
Well your damn dumb so...
I've never had a video directly inject ASMR into my veins before
Brennan Hill lol... :)
😂😂❤️❤️
This comment!
Brennan Hill Hello Brennan Hill
It's like snorting a line of ASMR, really. One that was cooked by a lighter in a spoon.
This video was my everyday bread.
Then it got a little worn for me .
Now , the first ten seconds listening after a couple years, almost had me drooling
I actually went to a Alexander technique class after watching this video (500 times). Very pleasant, but the instructor wasn't nearly as magical as Diana. I would LOVE to take a class from her.
It’s amazing how this woman’s only put up a single TH-cam video, yet she has close to 3 million views and 5,000 subscribers.
Tbh the chair with its gentle creaking sounds is the unsung supporting cast member
Absolutely
YES
Should we make an online petition to get Diana to make/release another Alexander technique video?
Please
#releasetheDianacut
Yes!!!!
yes
Yes
"Want a free Alexander lesson? Only catch is I want to film it for TH-cam"
"Yeah sure, no one is going to watch it anyway"
watched this literally 1000 times and i STILL have NO idea how to do the Alexander Technique
Just free your neck! ;-)
Don't push your neck forward. Keep your back and neck in a stright line. Be aware of a full-capacity breathing.
laughing at full capacity to this
Well it is no wonder since Alexander Technique is about the habitual reactions you stop doing/do less. So it could be said that it's impossible to do Alexander technique but you can think Alexander technique. Muscle follows thought
Your back becomes really wide and long
I know this is an old comment, but I just wanted to let you know that, 3 years on, I still have no idea how to do Alexander Tachnique, or even see a difference in regular vs AT.
Im here for the 100 time... Nothing beats this, It makes me so sleepy and relaxed. I know the entire dialog by now!
Who’s still watching this masterpiece in 2024?
Learning to squat With a chair
iTS SO GOOD, I ALWAYS COME BACK TO THIS VIDEO
Hi! I'm here right now, 1:57pm est time, on saturday, 1/13/23 and I am so glad and grateful to be here.
Full capacity video....
Anyone know who Alexander actually is? I've been watching this video for years, but if Alexander has more lessons I wanna know about them 😂
