Send us a textRobert Rickover, an Alexander Technique teacher in Omaha, Nebraska talks with Imogen Ragone, an Alexander Technique teacher in Wilmington, Delaware go into more detail F. M. Alexander's understanding why so many of us today are caught up in the harmful, narrow focus, type of concentration, and what the "solution" is in his view. Unfortunately it was next to impossible for most of his students to implement and moreover it disregarded the core principle that our body should be viewed as unified whole, not a collection of parts. It also reveals Alexander's misunderstanding of how our brain and nervous system work - not surprising given that he was writing a hundred years ago.  Nonetheless his "solution" continues to inform some Alexander Technique teaching methods today. Imogen's website: https://ImogenRagone.com Robert's website: https://AlexanderTechniqueNebraska.com More information about the Alexander Technique: https://AlexanderTechnique.com Below are the links to the Introduction and the other 3 of our video conversations: Introduction - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdJfYYzJmg4 Part 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1loMyHGPU-w Part 3- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OB1Ed4F3N1E Part 4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5kZtkvZFp0Below are the audio podcast versions of our conversation:Introduction: https://www.buzzsprout.com/admin/382/episodes/17833486-concentration-powerful-skill-or-harmful-habit-introductionPart 1: https://www.buzzsprout.com/admin/382/episodes/17834255-concentration-powerful-skill-or-harmful-habit-part-1Part 2: https://www.buzzsprout.com/admin/382/episodes/17833661-concentration-powerful-skill-or-harmful-habit-part-2Part 3: https://www.buzzsprout.com/admin/382/episodes/17833713-concentration-powerful-skill-or-harmful-habit-part-3Part 4: https://www.buzzsprout.com/admin/382/episodes/17833731-concentration-powerful-skill-or-harmful-habit-part-4
