Core and spark. Neck loose, head moving up—Slowly hinge back in the chair using your hip joints as hinges. Think that your legs are moving away from your torso from your hip joints. The further you hinge back, the more your abdominal muscles will engage. You might add some forward head rotation, paying special attention to […]

Bookend gaining

Speed-Living What’s the rush? There’s nothing wrong with speed-reading, or speed-walking, or speed-dating for that matter, (where you meet someone for breakfast and break up at brunch.) But everything is getting kind of speedy, so it’s more important than ever to occasionally stop, wake up, slow down, become aware, then go in a direction of […]

My Alexander Technique Book

Mark Josefsberg — Tue, 15 Aug 2017 02:34:15 +0000

I want to write a book on the Alexander Technique, but I don’t even know how to start. I could start with what I’ve already written, print it out, and organize it in neat piles if my cat allows it. Is that the beginning of a book? I’ll need a cover. I could probably make one […]

The Alexander Technique–Embraceable You

Mark Josefsberg — Sun, 06 Aug 2017 04:38:29 +0000

Tension While thinking about a future event that may or may not happen, I noticed I was physically bracing. My habit, (along with my unhealthy obsession with porcelain poodles), involves some tightening in my jaw, my neck, and a slight raising of my left shoulder. How about you? And while I’m asking, how does anxiety, boredom, […]

Alexander Technique Awareness

MarkJosefsberg — Fri, 14 Oct 2016 04:18:46 +0000

The Alexander Technique has three main pillars: Awareness, Inhibition, and Direction (AID) Inhibition. Leave a gap-don’t react. Listen for the space between the notes. Direction. Alexander Technique directions are unique instructions guiding you towards what you need to do or undo. These verbal cues are known to Alexander teachers and students, and they are potentially […]

You’ve got no choice with the Alexander Technique Once you know some Alexander Technique, you’re not going to want to make major decisions without it. And once you know enough of it you can’t. For better or for worse, we decide by imagining what things will be like, or feel like, in the future–two minutes or […]

Use the Alexander Technique any way you want; there are no right or wrong ways, no one application or reason to learn is better than any other. Apply it to anything, or everything. You can turn it on at any moment, then turn it up as you wish. You can’t turn it off, because that […]

Alexander Technique Re-Connection

MarkJosefsberg — Thu, 10 Mar 2016 22:19:43 +0000

Control yourself. The Alexander Technique helps us re-establish a lost connection with our own body; giving us both freedom and control. We learn to get “in touch”, with ourselves; a vital tool. Take my neck, please. Paradoxically, I control my neck by freeing it; letting it go. I learned how to do it, and now […]
