The Importance of Focusing in Alexander Technique

The skills that someone would learn as an Alexander student or teacher would be pretty helpful if they also wanted to study focusing. The sensing abilities that Alexander Technique teachers develop and refine over the years allow us to take in not only when we might have hands on someone, but we are also sensing in a much larger way. I sometimes try to describe this sensing as being as if all of my senses were ... some kind of large satellite dish that is receiving information and then sending out information. That's what subtlety of sensing is sort of a wonderful garden medium for turning towards focusing and taking in what focusing offers.
