Remember Psycho-Physical Unity

How to… Remember Psycho-Physical Unity…

How to apply the Alexander Principles when working with patients with Alzheimer’s disease. A field report.

Using film clips from the film : F.M.Alexander-Technik bei Alzheimer-Demenz, by Mechthild Rickheit and Ulli Pawlas 2004/2008, I illustrate the support approach and explain my way of working with the A.T. principles.

To introduce you to the approach of my work, how I worked with the Alzheimer patients, I want to give a short practical introduction, where we bring Directions from the Support Approach into our own experience. Then I will show excerpts from the film that illustrate this work and I will talk about my experience. It seems as if through this work, access to the psycho-physical unity is regained.

Afterwards there would be time for exchange and discussion.

Robert Britton and Giora Pinkas taught there regularly, in addition to many guest teachers. To continue her education and for international exchange she enjoys to go to AMMAS-Meetings.

Due to her mother’s Alzheimer’s dementia, she developed a work with Alexander Technique, dance and voice, which she taught for 12 years in a retirement home. During this time the film was made: “F.M.Alexander-Technik bei Alzheimer-Demenz” Mechthild Rickheit/Ulli Pawlas 2004/2008. This film is available on DVD as well,including a small booklet.
For 37 years, the Alexander Technique has permeated her life, every day and always. “A technique for life,” F.M. Alexander once said. To serve this work makes her happy and grateful.

She is as well very grateful for the many years of guidance of her Zen teacher Kurt KyuSei Österle in meditation and in his own developed practice of Archery.

Currently, she published the booklet: F.M.says:”Always have something to look forward to…” Quotes of the week.
