How The Alexander Technique Can Help Relieve Stress

http://lukeford.net/blog/?p=40006 Susana Schouller teaches the Alexander Technique in London.

She tells interviewer Robert Rickover: "Imagine you are a machine. Any machine can be used badly or used well. Every time you do anything, you can do it with tension and an inefficient use of balance or you can do it efficiently."

Robert: "How we organize ourselves tend to carry across a wide range of activities. Someone who has a pattern of misuse in walking is likely to have some variant of it in speaking or chopping vegetables."

Susana Schouller was diagnosed with MS in 1994. "Every MS sufferer I've spoken to has said that attacks are brought on by periods of great stress. The Alexander Technique can be calming, de-stressing, centering. It allows you to remain in the moment instead of the brain racing ahead to what's next or being stuck in the past."
