EMBODIED MIND-MINDFUL BODY 
 MOVE WITH YOUR WHOLE BODY – THINK WITH YOUR WHOLE MIND
‘The simplicity and power of Body Sense Alexander Technique’s EASE of BEING, through  Marguerite’s  hands-on guidance, focuses on reconnection with the Self – the whole person – and on the ease of ‘Being’ that comes from living in greater harmony with our design as human beings and our own individuality.
In the process, we experience  Ease,  Lightness and profound body-mind-psyche- spirit integration. In the process , changes happen  in individuals which range from a profound  ‘healing’(whole-ing) experience , to relief of physical and other symptoms, to increased overall skills and performance in many areas of our active life’.

Pure attention, the essence of the powers!

How can we hear the signals?

CONSCIOUS ATTENION – AWARENESS – ALERTNESS : The skills of an Alexander teacher. 

How do we attend consciously? When we attend, what we want is an in-the-moment form of general attention – not a ‘separated-aside practice’, but is spontaneous and open. You are simply noticing what’s around you, by being perceptually alert, awake and receptive, without effort. Without thinking, we are taking in our surroundings. Our mind quietens and we see the world around us …All our senses are working: we have stopped ‘doing’ and start ‘receiving’. We are quieting the motor system and waking up the sensory pathways. This is the kind of quiet attention that we need to allow as we (Alexander teachers) work… it means we can focus  the mind in a new way, can choose much more clearly what we want and what matters…

I think.. that these stages of consciousness are definable and understood as part of a continuum of our human potential and development… (and) that they should be treated as part of our normal educational development.

And who knows, maybe we’re ready for this !
