45 Minutes

Memorizing "Passage", calisthenic work with the right hand.

Before sitting down to practice, I wondered whether F.M. Alexander had anything to say about relaxation in his famous book "The Use of the Self". I checked the index and found not a word spent on the subject, but there were phrases like "pulls the head back" and "depressing of the larynx" which piqued my interest. This, and a few other things I've been reading, led to a change in attitude for me from "tense and stupid body > THE RELAXED STATE" to "an O.K. body > letting go of its unnecessary tension" - or holding onto it, if it wants to.
