In "Freedom to Change", Frank Pierce Jones presents the essential features of the Alexander Technique. Drawing on his long association with Alexander, Jones also relates Alexander's extraordinary life story and the development of the Technique. Besides relating his own teaching experiences Jones summarizes his 25 years of research into the Technique. By measuring the diffences between "habitual" and "teacher-guided" movement patterns, and by studying the actual mechanics of the body in achieving awareness, Jones provides scientific support for Alexander's ground-breaking discoveries. Appendices contain: TheRe-education of Feeling, The Organization of Awareness, Awareness, Freedom and Muscular Control, Learning How to Learn, and Notes and Drafts. New and reset edition, with 26 illustrations and 4 colour plates.
