I’m a great beleiver in the Alexander Technique as a way of relaxing and de-stressing and preparing for playing the piano. The Alexander Technique will guide you in the deep mindfulness of the body and will lengthen the spine, relax the shoulders, and reduce tension in the neck.
Just lying down for ten to twenty minutes is a way of rebooting our computer, refreshing ourselves, sharpening the axe before we go hack down another tree…and as we relax more, we get taller, wider and expand easily out of the tense nervous pulled down shape we’ve given ourselves.
