Alexander technique and the aneros

it means evolving from being a creature of habit to becoming consciously controlled individual, you have to give up the "auto‐pilot" you probably have been using to get yourself through the day

I know the whole 're-wiring'thing is about refocussing yourself and I guess expanding your consciousness, I don't believe however it's a consciouscontrol kind of thing.
To me another discipline comes to mind, but it's more about surrendering than control. It's a state of mind that you are completely relaxed and you're surrendering to the experience. It's hard to explain, it's what some in the world of sports call 'being in the zone', the conscious mind goes out the window and your auto-pilot is a virtue not a vice.
Musicians also know this state, where their mind is blanc and their musicality and creativity explode, even Traders know this phenomena.

Basically what it's about is that the conscious/critical mind is a disturbing influence
This being in the zone is actually derived from Zen Buddhism; the fusion of act and actor, performance and performer. The ide that our normal state of consciousness ruins the quality of the Zen experience. As soon as we consciously think about our performance we are no longer one with it. A bit like what others have been espousing, to let go of expectations and outcome(i.e. acchieving a Super O)

I think, as others have made reference to as well, that the Super O is basically like (being in) the Zone, the 0-zone, and when this happens you are not thinking about any kind of technique, like holding the analsqueeze for x amount of seconds, blabla, but you are firmly engrossed in the experience. Of course when you 'plug-and-play' it's even more amazing coz youre imagining objects in you that feel very real, so instead of focussing on details, in the zone is more like a Gestalt a whole body concept kind of thing obviously blending with fantasy and ideas. So you are using your subconscious mind to fill in the blancs, like in a dream

Being an artist in the fields of music, singing, painting and drawing, i am well aware of what you call
"the zone", or being in "the flow", i am not denying the value in this.

A lot of people will try to achieve the orgasms
through concentration, which means mental and physical tension, total relaxation
might not be very helpful either because most people dont seem to get these experiences
with total "non doing", and the doing will almost inevitably mean using the wrong muscles and excess tension.

Sorry, I overlooked the part you said you were Alexander technique teacher in the making, anyways.....

1)This conscious control you seem to be espousing seems antithetical to my own experience of letting go.
2)Although I agree that the subconscious part of the zone feeds on the past learning, repetition of technique etc, this is an inside journey, you already know your body. You don't have to think about how you walk when you walk downstairs(in fact I did once as a kid and fell).
I don't know what instrument you play? Let's say you play the piano, as soon as you try and become conscious of what your fingers are doing you muddle up. You keep the melody in your head and let your fingers and your subconscious take over. Analogues to this with the Aneros you hone in to the sensations and let your body and your subconscious do the rest. I really believe, certainly in these matters, the conscious/aka critical mind only interferes.

So I'm sure your course has its uses but for the Super O? I think not!

If you have indeed experienced the Zone it seems a little odd you're not learning ways to enhance this magical state, but are instead choosing a course that seems diametrically opposed to it?

I said in the first post that i would explain how the organs are suspended from the head.

We can think of the human body as a suspension system, like that of a tent with a supporting pole
with ropes suspended from the top of the pole and connecting to the ground.

If the pole is pushed to far into the ground, the ropes will start to slack, and the suspension system
will not work.

The same thing applies to the human body, when the body is denied its optimal length, the
muscles and organs can not function optimally, the pole would here represent the spine
and head.

When you are sitting slumped into a chair, it is now actually your organs that are
to some extent supporting your upper body, rather than the other way around.

We can also imagine a string of elastic attached to the back of the head, running down
your back and up the front of your body via the pelvic floor, and again attaching to the head.
This will represent the muscles of your neck, your back, the pelvic floor and the abdominal
muscles, abdominal muscles are attached to the ribs and the ribs are attached to the head
by the muscles of the neck, and so the circle is complete.

Try to think of this as a unit rather than as separate muscle groups.
This is to give an idea of a FUNCTION only, the muscles of the back are
of course not DIRECTLY connected to the muscles of the front.

You will feel this working in unison when taking a deep breath if it is allowed its proper
function. It is denied its proper function if you do "belly breathing" where you allow the
abdominal muscles to go flaccid.

Imagine one part of that elastic string running from back to front going flaccid,
the connection between front and back is now broken.

The idea of "belly breathing" is probably a reaction to the "chest breathing" that most people do,
unfortunately, this is just a different kind of bad...

Even if your premis is correct that the human body can be compared to a tent, I'd still disagree about bellybreathing, it's not only one of the hallmarks of many eastern disciplines, not least Yoga(that seeks to amend many of the things the Alexander technique seems to be about) but it's also taught to lungpatients, coz with bellybreathing the maximum capacity of the lungs is always utilised.

In my case anyway in regards to the Alexander technique and Super O-s I'd say, although the A-technique is useful in the same Yoga is, the positions I use to get into the O-zone aren't tailored to align my body like a tent but are to get proper angle for maximum results.

total relaxation might not be very helpful either because most people dont seem to get these experiences

IMO it's stress or the conscious, critical mind that causes you to use the wrong muscles/tension. When you are relaxed you let your subconscious mind take over and then your body is on autopilot, just like your heart beats of it's own accord without conscious intervention. Much has to do with unlearning, we could learn a lot in that regard from a baby or a child
