Mindfulness in 3D:
the Alexander Technique
for the 21st Century
Welcome to Mindfulness in 3D. I'm Peter Nobes, Alexander Technique teacher and 'founder' of 3-dimensional mindfulness.
What is Mindfulness in 3D?
F.M. Alexander discovered a powerful technique for bringing about profound physical and psychological change. By teaching how to be more conscious, and how to pause and reconsider before acting, it empowers people to take charge of their lives; to drop mental and physical habits and become their authentic selves in the here and now.
Alexander's Technique is essentially about being mindful and making new conscious choices about how we do things. Sadly, much of the Alexander world focuses on being mindful of our bodies, and making these new choices only about our bodies, which is why it is best known for back pain and posture and not the mental and spiritual benefits.
With the Alexander Technique, you'll find it's possible to do almost anything – mind and body – without strain or effort, and do it better. You'll get ease, freedom and aliveness you probably haven't experienced since childhood – and look good too, and be happier. And find that your new bodily freedom and more conscious mind is like life in three dimensions.

The Alexander Technique
"My work is an exercise in finding out what thinking is."
F.M. Alexander
Most
of our aches, pains and problems are caused by how we do things, and
the ways we do things are mainly habitual. The Alexander Technique will
get you thinking about how you do things, and will show you how to drop
habits and start making constructive choices.
Becoming aware of how you do things and making new choices only works when you are conscious; when you are mindful. You can't change when you are on 'autopilot' – change involves switching off autopilot and being more mindful. But the Alexander Technique is not about being more mindful of your body, or 'getting back in touch with your body', because you ARE your body. It's about mind/body unity, about being your authentic self, living in the here-and-now.
