on control

To fall

can be to be caught. To allow myself to be held.

Trust in what is. There isn’t anything else.

The Alexander Technique is often called the art of getting out of ones own way. This means actually to give up controlling, in order to come to a place where I notice I have more choice, where more is achieved with less trying.  Being lived rather than doing the living.

It does not mean to give up wanting something. I connect with what I want, and allow the movement. When I notice myself trying to control the process, let go of the control, allow the movement. Over and over.  Instead of pretending I didn’t want it in the first place.

This is true on all levels, by the way.
