Since my current short definition of the Alexander Technique is:
Constructive Conscious Kindness to Yourself
Cooperating with Your Design
Supporting your Desires and Dreams
celebrating World Kindness Day, November 13, seems most appropriate.
A short article on the neurobiology of Kindness says "Kindness is the engine for personal growth", explaining that
Each person is a mirror of their environment which is then in turn mirrored by their own behaviour.
This underlies the powerful phenomenon of social contagion – that information, ideas, and behaviors
including kindness can spread through networks of people the way that infectious diseases do.
For this reason, giving and receiving kindness can have a contagious effect. Research also shows
that optimal learning takes place in an environment that is creative, inclusive, rewarding and
bolstered by firm, healthy boundaries, in an environment that is kind.

My new book, Teaching the Alexander Technique: Active Pathways to Integrative Practice, offers ideas
about kindness to yourself and in the teaching studio.
