This is one of the best books available on the the Alexander Technique, which is widely recognised as a powerful method of dealing with physical and mental stress, encouraging personal growth and transformation. Its basic premise is that, although life is really a process of continual change, yet our responses are often bound by unconscious habitual behaviour learned in early childhood, which limits the potential for freedom in mind and body. This book reveals the art of unlearning these unconscious responses so that the body's innate potential for healing can be fully released. Unlike any other book on the subject, The Art of Changing also explores the relationship of the Alexander Technique to the human energy body and the chakas, showing how Alexander's basic principles can be extended into emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions. 288pp, 174mm x 215mm, illus. in b&w, softback, 1989
