knots, unblock energy, and
deal with almost paralyzing
stage fright."
--William Hurt
"The Alexander Technique is based on
exceptionally sophisticated observation,
not only by means of vision, but to a surprising
extent by using the sense of touch. I noticed
with growing amazement, very striking
improvements in such diverse things as
high blood pressure, breathing, depth of
sleep, overall cheerfulness, mental alertness,
resilience against outside pressures and
also in such refined skills as the playing of
a stringed musical instrument."
-- Nikolaas Tinbergen,
Nobel Prizewinner for Medicine and Physiology,
from his Nobel Prize acceptance speech
