“I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to your CD’s on Constructive Rest. The timbre and resonance of your voices, the excellent clarity of your word choices, the moments of stillness and pausing, are all beautifully rendered. I know that I will listen to these CD’s many times and be changed by them.” Meade Andrews – Master Teacher of The Alexander Technique
Constructive Rest On Airplanes — Now on iTunes!
The fourth release in the Constructive Rest Audio Guide Series
Constructive Rest, also known as semi-supine, active rest, and the balanced resting state, is one of the most common procedures of students and teachers of The Alexander Technique. It is also widely used in the realms of dance, theatre, yoga, and physio-therapy among others. Its uses are many: slow down in a hectic day, ease an achy back, encourage psoas muscle release, just to name a few. Constructive Rest: The Audio Guide Series provides a balanced experience of these primary intentions:
1. Encourage Integrated Body Awareness 2. Find Muscular Freedom
3. Restore Breathing Integrity 4. Promote an Accurate, Adequate Body Map
5. Renew a Healthy Rapport with Your Environment 6. Think F. M. Alexander’s Directions
7. Practice the Whispered Ah 8. Nurture Healthy Non-doing, aka Inhibition
Rediscover freedom and ease in your body, improved clarity of thinking, and a heightened rapport with your environment. Constructive Rest is a time to tune in, not zone out. Many people find it better than a nap during the day. Listen to sample audio clips on our CDBaby and iTunes® pages, then purchase a CD or MP3 download.
