Relieve Worry with Alexander Technique

Relieve Worry with Alexander Technique

When we think our Alexander directions repeatedly, with the intention of relieving the physical expression of our worry (our excess muscle tension), the experience of worry is substantially relieved. It's not magic -- it takes some effort, intention, and time; we must "work" at it, mentally. But it does reduce the experience of worry and makes it manageable. Because we have these tools to affect the experience, it is not so overwhelming, and we are not so helpless as we might have been without the tools.
