    This is an amAzing gift to humanity, Renan! Thank you for posting this.
    My entire Life I've been naturally very aware of this type of
    observation, and I was fortunate enough to be at the right place, at the
    right time to be invited to and Alexander Technique class without my
    planning for it. The mindfulness, in correlation to the posture was
    deeply attractive to me due to my personal devotion to them since
    childhood. It is a valuable tool for the unification between the
    spiritual, mental, emotional and physical bodies that we are dealing
    with as human beings.
    Again, my gratitude to you, William Hurt and Jane Kosminsky for making this information readily available to the public as not all have the financial means to be able to afford these classes.

    • @guccideltaco
      @guccideltaco 7 лет назад

      I'm assuming you've never had a physical problem that has been helped by any of this. I have had problems w/ my neck for years, just sleeping in an awkward position would cause me to wake up w/ pinched nerves and severe shooting pain in my neck. Often I couldn't even turn it. Nothing helped, and it would last for days on end. Finally, my grandmother convinced me to go to her chiropractor, who was able to "pop" my vertebrae back into place, relieving the pain INSTANTLY. Rather than constantly having to pop pain pills, or consider surgery, whenever this reoccurred, I would visit my chiropractor, and once the bones were moved back into place, the pain would end immediately. For me, and many others I know, chiropractic makes a REAL difference.
      I don't know anything about reflexology, but as far as AT, good posture and movement never hurt anybody.

      @mathiasalexander1799 7 лет назад +6

      Good posture should happen automatically as a reflex, but it doesn't if you have built up habits of keeping muscles continuously contracted, habits which have become part of your muscle memories for doing everything. These habits are preventing the reflex from fully deploying.
