Product Description

Product Description
A basic definition of the Alexander Technique would be how to perform each activity or maintain each posture with the minimum amount of energy. The A.T. teaches us how to release unnecessary muscular tension and realign the posture as we perform our everyday activities. Over 100 years ago F.M. Alexander pioneered his concept of Body/Mind unity. This is the first book to explain the A.T. in terms of energy flow and how we can direct energy with our thoughts. It is also the first book to look at psychological and spiritual implications of the A.T. and how we can work with our innate Body Wisdom for inner guidance.

About the Author
Born 1954 in Kingston Jamaica, Alex Maunder ran a vegetarian restaurant in Copenhagen before qualifying as an Alexander Technique Teacher with Yehuda Kuperman in Basel, Switzerland (1985 - 1988). A full-time teaching member of The Society of Teachers of the A. T. since 1988, he has lectured at Middlesex University on the A.T., trained in other mind/body therapies like Gestalt psychotherapy and written an earlier book "The Alexander Technique and The Principles of Self-Transformation" (1993).

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended, 26 Nov 2006
I have bought and read numerous books about the Alexander Technique.
Also had lessons at times I felt appropriate to an onging understanding and development.

A great many of the books I bought have long since been discarded as the same problem occurs again and again. The presentation is either so SIMPLISTIC it is DIFFICULT to progress beyond a basic grasp of the technique or so dense and involved that it is hard to link together the various concepts and ideas ( I don't include Alexander's own books as they provide a primary source which at some stage should be patiently studied by everyone!).

To get to the point, Alex Maunder's book is one I will never discard. Not only is the technique presented in a precise and logical manner it is also brought right up to date by showing how it attaches to our emotions and thought processes.

Buy this book and change your life!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Transformational Book, 5 Mar 2004
By Mr. Gordon Pearson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a lifelong seeker of spirituality I had come across references to the Alexander Technique in two ways. One was through my daughter who in her twenties took a course with an Alexander Technique teacher to ease back pain, and clearly benefited not just physically but subtly in her improved attitude to life. The other was in a book by J G Bennett, a former pupil of Gurdjieff,in which he heartily endorsed the Technique as a means of spiritual development. I now wish I had looked into his recommendation years ago.It would be hard to conceive a better exposition than "Let Your Life Flow". The author moves effortlessly through the theory and practice of the Technique so that one can absorb the essence of the teaching with minimal difficulty. In my own case, the book has given my life an extra quality of grace. Even without visiting a Teacher I have been able to apply the advice with dramatic effects. I stand better, I move better, I have lost many aches and pains, I feel better grounded, and I have a revived virility. Not a bad record in less than a month! And there has been a shift in my consciousness: I now know from personal experience what Gurdjieff meant when he said; "Lifeis real only then when I AM."

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written book that really delivers, 20 Nov 2008
By D. Watson (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a book i have been looking for, for 10 years or more. If like me you feel as if you have lost something that you had before but are just not sure how to get it back then this book may be for you.

After being plagued by poor health for years, nothing too serious, but in that state where you know that you can and should be feeling better than you do (almost all of the time), I stumbled across the Alexander technique whilst reading other material on Health and well being and put some of the advise into practise.

I felt slightly better and thought there may well be something in this, so i jumped on Amazon and stumbled upon this book.

It has been a revelation and a real eye opener for me as to how to let the Natural Energy (that we all have stored somewhere) flow again and revitalise my Body, mind and Soul. And that is the key.

The author clearly knows his stuff on the connection between the body, mind and soul and when all 3 are working in harmony just what can be experienced and acheived.

This book will benefit everyone I am sure of it. How much however depends on how much you believe your state of mind can effect your state of health.

I have always known that my state of mind must be affecting my state of health somehow but had never fully made the connection. Which is why the book came as a very pleasant surprise, I was expecting a book which showed you how to hold your posture and keep a straight back, etc - but found the book to be much, much more than that.

In truth the Alexander technique itself is much, much more than that but with this book I felt a connection with the Author that, after reading of a lot of books, I know is rare to find, I hope you find it the same.

I would give this book 10 stars if I could as for me this book has been a truely enlightening.
