Constructive rest

Just found this on one AT teacher blog:

Why must you do semi-supine if you want to improve quickly?

The person who regularly does semi-supine can progress eighteen times as fast as the person who doesn’t. They will progress even faster than that if they do it even more often.

What is this semi-supine? Semi-supine is the Alexander Technique lying down procedure, also known as “Constructive Rest”...

Not sure how that progress rate was estimated, but it's pretty impressive.

The opportunity to come back to AT is freely availably throughout the day, provided I notice it first. Then the choice to re-engage is available.

Currently I'm re-establishing daily twice a day lie-downs. Such a regular practice supports an ongoing and consistant work.

For a long period of time I lacked confidence that I can reconnect with the technique without the support of the teacher. At this moment it's a statement I deeply question.
