The ‘client’ is a student or pupil who learns from a teacher how to undo harmful patterns that he has been more or less unaware of.  The Technique works by making the student conscious of these patterns and providing him with an alternative which works in harmony with the body’s natural mechanism.  The student begins to realize that he has a choice — to stick with the way he has always done things, or to explore a new way. It may seem far-fetched at first but if you can interrupt the habitual way in which someone sits down everyday, you will then oblige them to look at their next habit and the next and the next.

The idea that body and mind are
inseparable is fundamental to the technique

The idea that body and mind are inseparable is fundamental to the Technique.  Every time we react to something around us our thoughts express themselves in particular postures and muscular tensions which we come to think of as 'just the way we are'.  Since we are reacting continuously to the world around us in all kinds of mundane ways, these tensions come to appear to us as normal and inevitable.  We go to speak and we move our arms in a particular way; we go to sit down or stand up and we tense our legs in a particular way; and so on.  These patterns are generally so deeply engrained - so much part of who we are - that we normally don’t question them until something starts to cause us a physical problem.

 

If we try to prevent our normal reactions ourselves it usually feels completely wrong
