Balancing Masculine/Feminine Energy with the Alexander Technique

Writer's picture: melbone82melbone82

I worked with a woman recently that said by the end of her Alexander Technique table lesson and walkabout she felt more feminine, soft, and embodied.


I've worked with men and women who after receiving a little hands-on guidance or just thinking their Alexander directions that they took up more space (literally and figuratively) and felt stronger, more confident, and even bold/daring.


As an Alexander Technique instructor and music educator, I create safe containers and work using masculine energy most days because my work requires it.


When I first came to the Alexander Technique I was severely injured and in chronic pain... From what I now realize was working unbalanced (mentally and physically) and unaware in masculine energy for decades. So using "doing" energy. Giving all day and not much receiving.


It got to the point where receiving was difficult because I'd made my work, living, and identity as a giver. I then got stuck in giving, but simultaneously needing and frequently being unable to receive in various ways for fear of looking weak, incompetent, needy, etc.


Working in a male-dominated profession and also being a professional trombonist, there were also societal pressures as a woman to make sure I was taken seriously by men, and not taken advantage of.


Now, I very much feel like I can healthily choose (most of the time!), instead of acting from rigid expectation and habitual responses, to be and act in whatever way best suits each situation and moment. It's definitely a lifelong practice but my life brings me much joy, peace, freedom now that I practice the foundations of the Alexander Technique on a daily basis.


Do you think in terms of energy and polarity? If you're seeking to come into balance and wholeness, the Alexander Technique can help.


No matter your gender, I believe we are our happiest and at peace when the energies within us are balanced, accepted, and authentically expressed.
