Alexander Technik in Berlin</title><description>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Von Herzen empfohlen. Michael Schürks.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure&gt;&lt;blockquote class=&quot;blockquote&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Je länger ich die Alexander Technik praktiziere, desto klarer 
erkenne ich, dass die Aufgabe unseren Körper zu „längen und weiten“, 
d.h. ihm die bestmöglichen Voraussetzung zur Selbstorganisation zu 
schaffen, ein fortwährender Akt ist.&lt;/p&gt;
				&lt;p&gt;Er ermöglicht ein Voranschreiten von Moment zu Moment, von Jetzt zu Jetzt, in beständiger Anwesenheit.&lt;/p&gt;
			&lt;/blockquote&gt;
			&lt;figcaption class=&quot;blockquote-footer mt-3&quot;&gt;
&lt;cite title=&quot;Source Title&quot;&gt;Thomas Hoppe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;h3 class=&quot;mb-0&quot;&gt;Struktur der Ausbildung&lt;/h3&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Die Ausbildung umfasst&lt;/b&gt; 1600 Unterrichtsstunden à 
60 min in einem Zeitraum von dreieinhalb Jahren. Sie vermittelt alle für
 das Unterrichten der F.M. Alexander Technik benötigten Fähigkeiten. Der
 Einstieg in die Ausbildung ist jederzeit möglich.&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Die Wochenendausbildung Berlin&lt;/b&gt; ist international 
anerkannt und arbeitet nach den Richtlinien des Alexander Technik 
Verbands Deutschland e.V. (ATVD) und den internationalen Affliliated 
Societies of the Alexander Technik (ATAS).&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nach erfolgreichem Abschluss&lt;/b&gt; erhält man die 
zertifizierte Berufsbezeichnung „Lehrer:in der F.M. Alexander Technik“. 
Damit kann man Mitglied in einer der fünfzehn der ATAS angeschlossenen 
internationalen Gesellschaften werden.&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Die Ausbildungsgebühr&lt;/b&gt; beträgt 480 Euro monatlich.&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;h3 class=&quot;mb-0&quot;&gt;Wochenendausbildung&lt;/h3&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;Im Moment ruht die Ausbildung. Sobald sich zwei InteressentInnen entscheiden, können wir starten.&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;Ein Einstieg ist dann jederzeit möglich.&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;Die Ausbildungszeit beträgt dreieinhalb Jahre.&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;Der Unterricht findet von Freitag bis Montag statt.&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;Die Unterrichtszeiten sind Freitag und Montag von 18:00 Uhr bis 20:00 Uhr und Samstag und Sonntag von 11:00 Uhr bis 15:00 Uhr.&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;Die Ausbildung umfasst insgesamt 1600 Ausbildungsstunden und findet
 an 38 Wochen je Ausbildungsjahr statt. Darin inkludiert sind zwei 
Intensivwochenenden welche von Donnerstag bis Sonntag angesetzt sind.&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;h3 class=&quot;mb-0&quot;&gt;Unterrichtsmethodik&lt;/h3&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;Das Unterrichten der Alexander Technik ist ein indirekter Vorgang, 
er erfordert und unterstützt in erster Linie das Arbeiten an sich 
selbst.&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;h4 class=&quot;mb-0&quot;&gt;Angewandte Mittel und Techniken:&lt;/h4&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hands on:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Berührungen ermöglichen dem Lernenden
 eine stärkere Selbstwahrnehmung, stoppen Gewohnheismuster und zeigen 
das „Längen und Weiten“ des Körpers an.&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Verbale Anweisungen:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
			Verbale Anweisungen begleiten die Berührungen und sind den hands-on 
Impulsen gleichberechtigt. Sie werden vom Lehrenden selbst 
kontinuierlich angewendet, damit sie vom Lernenden auf allen Ebenen 
erfahren werden können.&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stoppen von Gewohnheiten:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
			Das Stoppen von Gewohnheiten macht Reaktionsmuster sichtbar und 
erlaubt, diese in einen angemesseneren Selbstgebrauch zu transformieren.&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Arbeit am Stuhl, im Liegen und Gehen:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
			Anhand dieser scheinbar einfachen, aber grundlegenden Aktivitäten 
werden die Prinzipien der Alexander Technik verdeutlicht und nachhaltig 
integriert.&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Arbeit am Spiegel:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
			Der Spiegel unterstützt die Auflösung einer fehlerhaften sensorischen
 Wahrnehmung und ermöglicht dem Lernenden, nach und nach zu einer 
größeren Übereinstimmung von Selbsteinschätzung und Wirklichkeit 
zurückzufinden.&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Spezielle Tätigkeiten:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
			Fertigkeiten aus den unterschiedlichsten Bereichen des täglichen und 
beruflichen Alltags können in den Unterricht einfließen, um daran die 
Kerninhalte der Alexander Technik zu veranschaulichen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;section class=&quot;resume-section&quot; id=&quot;ausbilder&quot;&gt;

target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;School of Alexander Technique Berlin&lt;/a&gt; since 1998, handed over the school to his successor Jonathan Sheratte and, now in his seventies, returned to Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I did the last two years of my Alexander Technique teacher training with him many years ago, we still lived in Hamburg and I took the train to Berlin every morning and back to Hamburg at lunchtime for two years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am infinitely grateful for everything I was able to learn from him and also for the opportunity to come to the school at any time after completing my training and work with the students there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The central theme for me with Dan was always touch, the development of &quot;good hands&quot; that Alexander teachers are so well known for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the most important sentence I have heard from him (and he says he can&#39;t even remember saying it) that stays with me and makes my work as an Alexander Technique teacher (and, by the way, also as a trainer and coach) easier and lighter is this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;I meet you with my working on myself.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Thank you for everything, Dan!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vor einiger Zeit, im Sommer 2022, hat mein Lehrer Dan Armon, der die &lt;a href=&quot;https://alexandertechnique-centre.berlin/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Schule für Alexander-Technik Berlin&lt;/a&gt; seit 1998 leitete, die Schule an seinen Nachfolger Jonathan Sheratte übergeben und ist, mittlerweile in seinen Siebzigern, nach Israel zurückgekehrt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Als ich vor vielen Jahren die letzten beiden Jahre meiner Ausbildung zum Lehrer der Alexander-Technik bei ihm machte, wohnten wir noch in Hamburg und ich fuhr jeden Morgen in aller Früh mit dem Zug nach Berlin und des Mittags wieder nach Hamburg zurück, zwei Jahre lang.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ich bin unendlich dankbar für all das, was ich bei ihm lernen durfte und auch für die Gelegenheit, nach Abschluss meiner Ausbildung jederzeit in die Schule kommen und mit den Studentinnen und Studenten dort arbeiten zu dürfen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Das zentrale Thema, um das es für mich bei Dan immer ging, war &lt;i&gt;Touch&lt;/i&gt;, die Entwicklung „guter Hände&quot;, für die Alexander-Lehrer so bekannt sind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Der vielleicht wichtigste Satz, den ich von ihm gehört habe (und er sagt, er könne sich gar nicht daran erinnern, ihn gesagt zu haben), der mich begleitet und der mir meine Arbeit als Lehrer der Alexander-Technik (und, by the way, auch als Trainer und Coach) leicht und leichter macht, ist dieser:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;I meet you with my working on myself.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Danke für alles, Dan!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Love, Michael&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://coachingpodcast.de/&quot;

&lt;br /&gt;
At the still point of the turning world. &lt;br /&gt;
Neither flesh nor fleshless;&lt;br /&gt;
Neither from nor towards; &lt;br /&gt;
at the still point, there the dance is,&lt;br /&gt;
But neither arrest nor movement. &lt;br /&gt;
And do not call it fixity, &lt;br /&gt;
Where past and future are gathered. &lt;br /&gt;
Neither movement from nor towards,&lt;br /&gt;
Neither ascent nor decline. &lt;br /&gt;
Except for the point, the still point,&lt;br /&gt;
There would be no dance, &lt;br /&gt;
and there is only the dance.&lt;br /&gt;

Douglas Edison Harding (1909-2007) was an English philosophical writer, mystic, spiritual teacher and author of a number of books, including &#39;&lt;i&gt;On Having No Head – Zen and the Rediscovery of the Obvious&lt;/i&gt;&#39;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;... F. M. Alexander was an advocate of walking tall. A therapist who treated successfully many famous people for a great variety of complaints, he got his results by very simple means. He urged his patients to get what he called their head-neck-back (h-n-b) control going—thinking the head forward and up, relaxing the neck, and widening and lengthening the back. In effect, the patient was to get home and take charge, consciously inhabiting this ruling upper region from which he had disastrously strayed. He was to leave the body’s members to carry on with their own business free from his direct interference, almost as if they were cut off. This homecoming, Alexander claimed, by withdrawing attention from the abnormally functioning parts to their controlling centre, corrects their functioning automatically, and often swiftly. In addition, there is a tendency for eyes to brighten, complexions to clear, the head to be held higher and at a better angle, and general health and happiness to improve. The effect of treatment was in some cases for the patient to feel airborne. Alexander was never clear why his technique worked. Significantly, its results are very much like the results of seeing one’s facelessness or headlessness. This isn’t surprising, for in practice the maintenance of the h-n-b control means clearly locating and concentrating upon a presence here which, though very real and potent, is quite empty of content. At their best, Alexander’s disciples were faceless without fully recognizing it. This was sufficient to produce many ‘miraculous’ cures. ...&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;This statement fits my experience with the Alexander Technique. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://alexander-technik.blogspot.com/2017/09/faceless-without-fully-recognizing-it.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923759722421505424.post-5889873797272891117</guid><pubDate>Wed, 18 Dec 2013 10:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-12-18T11:14:26.524+01:00</atom:updated><title>In aller Freiheit</title><description>Loslassen, Letting Go, meint in der Alexander-Technik nicht das Loslassen bestehender Spannungen (wie es in vielen Entspannungsmethoden geübt wird), sondern das Loslassen der Intention, der Absicht etwas zu tun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wenn du die Absicht hast, dich zu bewegen − etwa aufzustehen oder dich hinzusetzen −, lass noch einmal eben diese Intention, diese Absicht los.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lass sie ... ganz und gar los.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tritt, bildlich gesprochen, nicht auf die Bremse, sondern ... schalte in den Leerlauf.&lt;br /&gt;

In order to change your reaction, the technique suggests that you stop on the way towards that end, putting it aside, almost out of your mind. &lt;br /&gt;
Then to give the directions for another use of yourself and then continue towards your end.&lt;br /&gt;
How is it possible though to put your end out of your mind and still keep on to it? &lt;br /&gt;
The more the end is out of my mind, the more my inhibition becomes more real. But how is this possible when I still want to reach my end?&lt;br /&gt;
This becomes possible only when the end stops being an end and becomes an aim. &lt;br /&gt;
An end closes one&#39;s horizon as if there is nothing after it, the future then becoming a destructive element. &lt;br /&gt;
An aim though is simply one station along your way.&lt;br /&gt;
Your way is timeless. &lt;br /&gt;
It is there in each moment. &lt;br /&gt;
In the present.&lt;br /&gt;

Zusammen mit Karl von Frisch und Konrad Lorenz erhielt &lt;a href=&quot;http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/1973/tinbergen-autobio.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Nikolaas Tinbergen&lt;/a&gt; 1973&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;den&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; Nobelpreis für Medizin oder Physiologie. &lt;/span&gt;Er gilt als Mitbegründer der Ethologie (Verhaltensforschung).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Im zweiten Teil seines Festvortrages anlässlich der Verleihung des Nobelpreises (im ersten Teil stellt er seine Untersuchungen über frühkindlichen Autismus vor) spricht Tinbergen über die Alexander-Technik.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;(...) My second example of the usefulness of an ethological approach to Medicine has quite a different history. It concerns the work of a very remarkable man, the late F. M. Alexander (...). His research started some fifty years before the revival of Ethology for which we are now being honoured, yet his procedure was very similar to modern observational methods, and we believe that his achievements and those of his pupils deserve close attention. (...)&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;Die Vorgehensweise Alexanders ist modernen Beobachtungsmethoden sehr ähnlich und seine Arbeit verdient Beachtung.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: According to John Dewey (1859–1952) the common source of all other dualisms is to consider mind and body as being separate, whereas the difference is actually rather one of degree and emphasis. Furthermore Dewey is not only convinced that it is actually necessary to do something about this relationship in order to »making it right«, but also that the method of F. M. Alexander (1869–1955) is the proper procedure to experience the continuity of mind and body in actual practice. This insistence on the value of a specific technique seems to be quite a remarkable exception in the common universe of discourse.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
... If we are talking about yoga on wider level as a whole approach to life, then there are a number of intriguing similarities of approach with the Alexander work. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both are extremely optimistic undertakings, which recognize that it is within the power of human being to alter their own karma or conditioning. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both claim that breaking the hold of habit is the key to fundamental change. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both recognize the necessity of awareness and a keen understanding of ourselves and our habits, as the basis of change. Both understand the basic unreliability of our very basic perceptions, and stress the necessity of working with ourselves in such a way that our understanding of ourselves and the world around us, becomes more accurate. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both emphasize the necessity of eliminating the tyranny of focusing on ends instead of means. ...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
»... the defining qualities of Mr Macdonald’s teaching were those of a true martial artist. He had the ability to allow the placement of the principles of the Alexander Technique and to take them into dynamic motion – including walking, the lunge, a &amp;ldquo;swinger”, up onto the toes, position of mechanical advantage or “monkey”, and the squat. [...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like a martial arts master – or any master – he brought stillness and movement together. He did not waste movement; he did not waste words. He was watchful. He demanded simply, and with the right kind of seriousness, that you knew “where up is, and what up is”. His art was the Alexander Technique. Words are not the best way of communicating his teaching, and words have a tendency to get stuck in the ordinary mind, rather than being weighed and “placed upon the heart”, so that they can be helpful towards understanding.«&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
We were all very confused, until Pat (Patrick Macdonald) realized that what F.M. meant (although he wasn´t saying it in a word) was that the head goes forward and up from the &lt;small&gt;&lt;strong&gt;occipital joint&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/small&gt;, not from the »hump« (dtsch. Buckel, 7. Halswirbel). This was such an eye opener to all of us because as soon as we realized that, we could get the freedom there and the rest did itself almost. &lt;br /&gt;

Where are your &lt;small&gt;&lt;strong&gt;hip joints&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/small&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
When you´re directing to a part of the body, you´re sending little telegrams. That´s why it´s important to know where your &lt;small&gt;&lt;strong&gt;hip joints&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/small&gt; are - because you can send a message to the wrong address and nothing happens.&lt;br /&gt;
