Alexander Technique. Soft focus. A wider view. The bigger picture. Draw back. Back off. Hold up. Alexander Technique NYC. Pause, wait, stop, relax, ease up, breathe, chill. Lengthen. Widen. Step back and see the whole rather than just the parts. Easy does it. Alexander Technique, especially in NY.  Sometimes too much involvement can draw us in, and down, collapsing into ourselves. Too much involvement; too much riding on it. Even our jaw muscles tighten and shorten. Too important, as if it’s life or death. Permanent startle response. It makes us want to lean in, any way we know how; usually by shrinking, compressing. Breathing shallows. We get tense, and then we stay tense.  It happens to us someplace, then anyplace, then everyplace. Some times to almost all the time. Then it becomes “that’s the way I am”, or, “I’m a tense person”.  That pretty much solidifies it, for the moment.

Then there’s the computer. Computer use challenges the Alexander Technique. Even while just surfing, for fun, we get drawn in down towards the screen. We’re working way more than necessary for just sitting. This isn’t the good kind of muscular use either. This is the bad ‘cramping’ kind of musculoskeletal work. Since we’re so absorbed in what we’re doing, we may not notice the extra tension until much later, though it’s never too late. Alexander Technique.

Using the computer at work is even more challenging, because now we’ve added outside mental stresses including bosses, co-workers, deadlines etc. No wonder there’s so much neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, carpal tunnel, and tension headaches in and away from the workplace, much of which ‘miraculously’ goes away when we’re on vacation. The problem is that most of us can’t be on vacation permanently. We have to learn to deal. Alexander Technique. Soft focus. A wider view. The big picture. Wide-angle vision. Draw back. Back off. Hold up. Easy does it. Breathe. Alexander Technique.
