I have an AT presentation this afternoon, with less than 45 minutes to prepare for it. I have had many days, even weeks, to prepare, yet have chosen not to. Today, this thought brings up little twinges of anxiety, as if I were receiving micro-injections of adrenaline into my middle.
Stopping.
Noticing.
I feel it in my abdomen...
chest...
arms...
neck...
I am choosing not to react to these feelings, and to the thoughts that come up which are triggering the feelings.
Interesting.
Makes me curious...
Allowing myself to smile.
Allowing lengthening, widening, expanding.
Noticing muscular contractions which express a direction/energy that wants me to close up and shut down, freeze, fight, or flee...
Not reacting.
Not judging.
Not preparing.
Allowing life to flow as it will.
How could I possibly prepare to teach the Alexander Technique in any way other than by practicing it??
The Alexander Technique has been called 'a skill for life'.
How can you prepare for life if you're already alive? No need.
No need to prepare.
And...this is the best way to prepare.
Just stopping.
Just noticing.
Just allowing.
Everything is flowing exactly as it needs to, and I am not interfering.
I'm enjoying the ride...
