The Alexander Technique

Imagine this: You are in a profession in which you regularly use your voice. Overtime, it begins to be strained, which, unfortunately, effects your work. Looking in the mirror one day, you notice that your posture is not the best, and upon correcting it, you suddenly hear and see improvements in your speaking as well as in your overall health.

This is exactly what happened to Shakespearean actor Frederick Alexander. His technique, now know as the Alexander Technique, can be used not only to improve voice quality, but also to relieve back pain, improve posture, treat depression and anxiety, deal with stress-related illnesses, enhance performance capabilities for actors and dancers, and prevent strains from repeated activities. Other conditions, most in the mental and physical realms, can also be treated with the Alexander Technique.

An alternative medical treatment, the true effect of the Alexander Technique is still being studied and will be sure to attract skeptics for decades to come, as do other forms of alternative medicine, such as acupuncture, meditations, light therapy, and prayer. Studies have shown, however, that the Alexander Technique can work, so it is an option you should be sure to research and consider if you are looking for new treatment methods. Your doctor can teach you more about this technique.

The Alexander Technique is usually taught to clients who are treated with a series of half-hour- to hour-long classes. First, the patient is asked to lie on a table with knees bent, and the professional adjusts posture so that everything is correctly aligned. The treatment is then continued as the patient stands. A number of movements are preformed and the practitioner continues adjusting the client’s posture so that eventually it seems like second nature. The goal of these sessions is to make movement free and as minimal and effortless as possible so that these techniques can then be employed in everyday life. It corrects your posture as you stand, sit, and lie down and can help you with everything from general posture to more specific alignment, such as the way you hold your head.

Of course, the Alexander Technique is not for everyone, and it depends on your current health condition. If your doctor believes that this technique will work for you, seek a licensed professional to help you learn the technique. He or she will teach you the skills you need to improve specific problems as well as your overall health, with posture.

Sometimes, the demands of modern life seem to require an endless supply of energy. It’s hard enough just trying to squeeze everything in, then finding the energy to actually do everything presents a whole other obstacle. Are *YOU* low on natural energy?

When it comes to maintaining your good health, even when we try to eat well, we're still disadvantaged…
The nutritional content of most food has been compromised over the years, not only by deficient soils and modern production, transportation, storage and processing methods, but also by the enormous amounts of chemical and artificial substances added to promote growth, storage life, taste and appearance.

It's for this reason that more and more medical authorities are advocating the use of vitamin and mineral supplements. However, finding them in the right combination can be both confusing and costly.

The best nutrition products I know of make use of knowledge gained from the botanical world's 6,000 year history. They incorporated health building nutritional herbs with the best modern technology to help our bodies cleanse and detoxify so that the cells - the tiniest living units - can be as fully nourished as possible.

This allows the cells to grow, repair and to perform their functions with the best possible efficiency so that we feel and look better and are more able to prevent and fight disease. Once the body begins to clear itself of toxins it can more efficiently absorb nutrition.
