Anthony Kingsley demonstrates an Alexander Technique First Session with Rocky. Rocky is a composer and suffers from stomach tension. Anthony explores with Rocky the possible relationship between the manner that Rocky engages with the process of composing, and her tension problems. This is a really great example of the Alexander principle of Psychophysical Unity, or the MindBody. The session was filmed at Anthony's Alexander Teacher Training School in Golders Green, London on My 11th, 2023.
Contact Anthony on: info@alexanderstudio.co.uk

She actually looked stiff and stressed when she started. By the end, you could see she was much more relaxed and calm.

@TaraFinlay 8 месяцев назад

I would pay money to have an audio of you just going “heels….bend the knees….heels….”

@TaraFinlay 8 месяцев назад

perhaps with an occasional “there’s nothing you have to achieve right now.”

@AlexanderTechnique33 8 месяцев назад

Yes, it is very liberating to be told that there is nothing to strive for! Especially if I am in a non-striving state myself, and my voice communicates this quality.

@AlexanderTechnique33 8 месяцев назад

I will keep on posting up free videos with these kind of instructions. Happy to hear you enjoy them.

@TaraFinlay 8 месяцев назад

@@AlexanderTechnique33 they are incredibly helpful and soothing.

composer!? talented woman😊

@theboombody 8 месяцев назад

I still like creating and completing things. Just not rushing so much to do it. I think this channel does a lot of good in telling us to slow down a bit and enjoy small moments so that we're not so tempted to strive to stress ourselves out by trying to get everyone's attention by being the best at everything.

@magicofcrocodile 8 месяцев назад

Hello. As a doublebassist I know about Alexander technique for quite a long time, but I never related it with composition and creativity. That's quite an interesting fact. As a composer myself I understand what Rockey feels and mostly it's because of our work ethic. It seems to be bad work, if it feels light and easy, but actually the best thoughts come up, when you don't think about, as taking a walk etc. So I think what is difficult here is to get out of your way and let creativity flow. And what I think after I have seen this video for several times, which is very inspiring, is that we misunderstand physical work with mental work and we try to apply the same principles for mental work, when we do for physical work, especially creative mental work. Maybe there is also some fear of letting go and be yourself? Maybe she has to compose music, she doesn't like and that's quite difficult even when you think that composition is a kind of craft, it's still a inner work which have to be done. Thanks for this video and I will try to apply what you said for my own work and well-being. Will also have a look to the other videos. Thanks for sharing and Greetings from Spain, Michael

@AlexanderTechnique33 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for your perceptive comments. All the best,

@kittymervine6115 8 месяцев назад

you've influenced me to look for a local practitioner. not one too close, but worth checking out once the winter weather is over!

@AlexanderTechnique33 8 месяцев назад

Good luck!

@AlexanderTechnique33 Месяц назад

Good question. I am communicating a quality of surrender and freedom

Are there like, specific angles, and such that we should have our bodies at? Like what degree forward or back we should lean, what degree of angle should our chin be from our chest. All of these videos, hands always seem to be almost around the neck with the webbing between thumb and first finger directing the chin up. I rarely ever see the hand move, as if every student has their chin in the wrong spot, at the wrong angle. May be if there were hard numbers, specific angles, to know about, we could better feel our bodies getting into those positions.

@AlexanderTechnique33 8 месяцев назад

Don't worry about angles and positions. You are designed to be ok with a range of movements and positions. It is much more about being free from unnecessary tension.

@clamato422 8 месяцев назад

Does she seem to stand with pelvis forward?

@AlexanderTechnique33 8 месяцев назад

Well observed!

@MrJimWilde 8 месяцев назад

love it, thanks for sharing! Recently I've been paying attention to my voice during self-induced relaxation hours and it felt very good and I always promise to myself to be in that state all the time and speak with others in that relaxed state more. Hard to achieve, but by time it gets better (I assume). Also recording my voice often helps a lot. The hardest part is when others expect you to act or speak in certain way and you are afraid of being in a new territory of yourself. But of course, most of it is just in the mind and old habits that are hard to bend. Btw, if possible, would be great to see more musicians among your videos, perhaps guitarists, pianists and so on.

@AlexanderTechnique33 8 месяцев назад

I would be happy to work with more musicians. I take them as they come!

@benblessing 8 месяцев назад

@AlexanderTechnique33 8 месяцев назад

@jlb1487 8 месяцев назад

@AlexanderTechnique33 8 месяцев назад

Yes, I will do next time

@TheMeJustMe75 8 месяцев назад

I write music but I can't if I am calm or at peace. I have to feel some form of urgency going on in my mind.

@AlexanderTechnique33 8 месяцев назад

Urgency is fine as long as it does not include immobilisation or freeze.

@tristanmccabe8917 8 месяцев назад

I got fired from my job for practicing Alexander Technique.

@AlexanderTechnique33 8 месяцев назад

That's the problem. You are not required to practice it!

@UncleTroll85 8 месяцев назад

A lovely session, it's a shame the multiple mid reel ads interrupted the relaxation.

@AlexanderTechnique33 8 месяцев назад

@xaviertrack2577 8 месяцев назад

Thank you mister Kingsley :-D I very much enjoyed watching your video as always. Even better in fact as I could hear the pupil better. What a pity that you had to edit out some part of the experience.

@AlexanderTechnique33 8 месяцев назад

My pleasure! And actually, the finished item was pretty much every moment.

@xaviertrack2577 8 месяцев назад

Well. May I’m strange but I enjoy to watch how you set the pupils on the table and how you get them off the table. ;-)

@AlexanderTechnique33 8 месяцев назад

OK. Next time I will keep this element in!
