Product Description

The Art of Changing has established a fine reputation twice over; as one of the very best introductions to the Alexander Technique and as a unique exploration of its relationship with the human energy body. Most of us want to change something about ourselves; physical, emotional or mental habits which, in spite of our best efforts, seem to rule our lives. The Alexander Technique is a method by which we can allow change to take place in ourselves 'against the habits of life'. It is recognised the world over as a subtle yet powerful method of dealing with physical and mental stress and of encouraging personal growth and transformation. Glen Park begins by explaining Alexander's basic principles with the help of observational exercises and imaginative line drawings. She then applies these principles to emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions, considering the human body as an energy system surrounded by an aura and organised by different chakras or energy centres. The Art of Changing gives fascinating insights into how we really function and how we can allow positive change to occur in our lives.

Customer Reviews

A great, comprehensive book
I'm actually reading this book now and I think it's a great book sofar.

'The Art of Changing' is like four books in one. Aswell as explaining what the Alexander Technique is, and showing you how to do it - Glen Park also talks about releasing negative emtions, using affirmations and balancing your chakras. Don't worry if you're not too sure about any of these topics - they are all explained very simply in this book - and if you are familiar with it all, this book will bring it all together under one roof.

If you're looking to straighten out your posture aswell as your emotional self (and it's all connected) - then this book if for you.

All in all a great book!
