Constructive Awareness: Alexander Technique & the Spiritual Quest

Here is what some have called a cup of water in the desert of theory for many spiritual seekers. McGowan develops his perception of how the body’s here and now can catalyse the development spiritual awareness. His method combines Alexander Technique with the Ramana Maharshi/Paul Brunton (mentalistic) perspective on spiritual practice. The author’s key main concern is to explain and explore how the proper head-neck-back relationship heightens moment-to-moment awareness of the unity of mind-body-world, along with many ways in which a pain-free body can be a springboard for attaining high spiritual aspirations.
