In the body, it is a collapsing of the spine. It happens when the head is pulled back & down on the neck. The chest drops down from the pressure of the head. The shoulders round forward & sometimes get pushed up around the the ears.
How can we change this? In the Alexander Technique we start by changing the head's relationship to the spine. If the head moves forward & up a little bit in relationship to the neck, space is created for the spine and the spine responds by lengthening.
The movement is simple, but not always easy because we often have a faulty kinesthetic sense of ourselves. We may think that we are moving our heads forward & up when we are actually lifting our chins up instead.... and that actually sends the head back & down.
So in the beginning, you want to just observe yourself... to see if you can discover what you are actually doing.
Thank you for stopping by.
