Day 1. Engagement and your own state

The beginning of a five-day movement. First, your own state: engagement and lack of engagement, thoughts, sensations, warmth and cold. Alexander guides observation of the process and draws attention to what you note yourself, beyond what you hear in his description.

Your question

What am I observing in my own state now, as this process begins?

Return to your own experience.

  1. At which moments did I note engagement and lack of engagement?

Before choosing

What to keep in mind

It does not promise that every viewer will reproduce the original group's process.

Do the five days have to be completed consecutively?

The sequence of the five recordings is confirmed by the author's words. Watching one per day is an organizational rhythm suggested here, not a confirmed mandatory condition or a promise of results.
