I have been receiving AT lessons for about six months and am still struggling with this nagging thought that does not let go. It usually means I must explore the thought which is this: The aura of AT is shrouded in mystery and supposedly involves layers and layers of constant undoing. It seems to me this is more complicated than it should be. I have an inner sense that our bodies were designed to work a certain way and that it should not take a lifetime to get back to the beginning of that way. Also, logisitically, who has the time or the money to take AT lessons for the rest of their life? I have a hard time believing we are so far away from moving the way we were designed. AT has been of great benefit to me. The effects are immediate after a lesson and stay with me for the day. But it seems very discouraging that the next day I am the same again and I don't "know" how to not do. What is it I am not supposed to do? I am not supposed to feel what it is like to be in good relation to the different parts of my body. I am a dancer. I use feeling and visuals to know where I am supposed to be in a movement. How do I not do this? What do I not do instead? Johanna Vanderpol |
