Integrated Bibliography

Why do we find that the more we try to relax and solve problems, the more our bodies tense up and our minds become more complex? This book offers a new path, declaring that the clear answer to this paradox lies not in "senses," but in "consciousness."
This is because it emphasizes that true change does not lie in chasing momentary corrections or good feelings, but in fundamentally restructuring the very ‘content of consciousness’ that uses our bodies.

The concrete and meticulous arguments presented in this book are the result of the author's own exploration, driven by the need to grasp clear principles rather than vague sensations, while suffering from fibromyalgia, which made even movement difficult.
This is also an honest record of digging deep into the relationship between body and consciousness and finding a way.

To this end, the author presents an original and systematic learning tool called the 'AT40 Direction Frame'.
These 40 seemingly ordinary sentences become a sophisticated "map of consciousness" that goes beyond traditional approaches, correcting long-held misconceptions about our bodies and guiding us to use them correctly.
This is because it is the result of a modern reinterpretation and systematization of the core principles of the Alexander Technique, ‘inhibition and direction,’ from the perspective of the latest brain science.

Through this new language, readers will have the amazing experience of changing the brain's habitual circuits and untangling the knots of hardened emotions.
Above all, the value of this book lies in its exquisite balance between theory and practice.
The narrative is thoroughly scientific, but the exercises are surprisingly concrete, helping readers experience alignment that "flows" naturally rather than being "forced."
This book will be your most reliable guide to discovering your path to self-realignment.
