This video explores the correlation between ease of movement and fluidity of attention. Both fixed and fluid attention are fundamental awareness skills necessary for cultivating states of flow and joy. If you suffer from social anxiety, these embodiment skills can really help. This is part of a series on fundamentals of awareness for joyful embodiment in the Alexander Technique practice called constructive rest.

I am fascinated by this ... a way of loosening up attention that I think might benefit me. I do a lot of focused computer work and then need to undo the fixed effect on my body. Here, you offer me a more subtle way of exploring that undoing.

Yes, exactly. This practice (and Alexander Technique in general) offer you a method that is just as sophisticated as all the computer work you are doing! We need nuanced strategies for recovering the fluidity and resilience in our bodies and minds. Going for a walk, or exercising, are excellent...but not as nuanced as a more specific embodiment practice. Glad you found this!

Hello George, sure! I trained at the American Center for the Alexander Technique with many wonderful teachers, including Joan Frost, Barbara Kent, Pearl Ausubel, Debbie Caplan, Sarni Ogus, Judith Lakin..I did alot of post-graduate study with Joan and Alex Murray and various Dart-process based teachers as well. Many influences.
