WHEN YOU’RE SITTING, MEDITATING, IDEALLY YOU’RE ONLY BEING AND NOT DOING.

What does this mean?

When meditating ideally you’re in a state of only existence, existing only in the moment totally free of what you want to do, need to do, have to do, when your meditating ends.

WHAT IS THE CONNECTION BETWEEN BEING MEDITATING AND THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE?

I’m going to use the word “ideally” a lot in this essay. I want to talk in absolutes here, rather than in degrees of being or doing too much.

What do I mean by “doing too much”?

The core principle of the Alexander Technique is a person can choose to do what he’s doing with great posture and great body use and organization, with the absolute minimum of tension and effort, trusting the body to do what is asked of it, from walking to using a computer.

WHEN YOU’RE MEDITATING, IF YOU’RE STRIVING FOR ENLIGHTENMENT OR THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO DO AFTER YOUR MEDITATION, THEN YOU’RE “DOING”, NOT BEING.

What this means is you’re striving or planning for something in the future, and you’re not HERE AND NOW SITTING/MEDITATING.

Another basic principle of the Alexander Technique, is when not doing something, don’t rev up, tense up the body, in preparation for the activity. If you tense up before you do something, you bring excess tension and excess expectations to the activity, which over the years translates into wear and tear to the body and poor posture.

Again , what has meditating to do with the Alexander Technique?

Ideally while meditating, you’re using the Alexander Technique’s principles of total body release with high energy, and simply only being in meditating.

The more you meditate using the Alexander Technique’s principles of directed physical release, the closer you come to pure being in sitting.

MEDITATING THIS WAY SETS A BASELINE OF GETTING AS CLOSE TO JUST BEING, JUST EXISTING, AND GETTING CLOSER TO THE DEEPEST ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE WHOLE BODY RELEASES OVER TIME IN MEDITATING.

This extraordinary baseline of just being ties in with the Alexander Technique’s ideal that you do only what is necessary with poise and high energy, no matter the activity.

As the mind becomes quieter in meditating, with a quieter and quieter body it is asking to be at extraordinary ease, then meditating tied to the Alexander Technique approaches doing and being being inseparable.

THIS MEANS THAT WHEN YOU DO WHAT YOU’RE DOING WITHOUT EXCESS WORK AND OFF BALANCE, YOU’RE BEING IN THE MOMENT IN A TRULY EXTRAORDINARY WAY.
