It it feels like an effort, it is not the Alexander Technique. In contact with the support of the ground I can experience energy and strength that involves physical work, yes, but not an effortful „trying“ and not resisting what and how I am. Trying to be something I am not, doesn’t work.
I can only receive what I am, and notice that I am not still, not fixed, not static. All organic forms are shifting, changing, growing. Notice and give space to what I am becoming. Not because what could be is better than what is, but because the changing is part of the who and what I am.
By the way, I am still trying to do it right. The practice is noticing that, and letting go.
