Concepts
During Alexander’s experimentation to discover how to inhibit the habit patterns that were affecting his performance as an actor, he came across a number of concepts that have wide applicability and that have become the basis of his Technique. They are the “Use of the Self” — how you use yourself in each moment matters, “Unity of Self” — we are unified organisms and are reactions are psychophysical, with no clear distinction between phsyical and mental, and “Unreliability of Sensory Appreciation” — what we feel is not always a reliable guide to what we are actually doing.
