An ideal way to approach lessons in the Alexander Technique is to come with a clear intention to learn more about both your unconscious habits and your innate kinesthetic use. Once you realize you are doing something habitually and it is interfering with your innate use, it will be much easier to give up the unnecessary mind/body tensions and habits, which then allows your innate use to carry out the activity in a new way.
You may find the following quotes by F. M. Alexander useful as you study the technique:
You can’t do something you don’t know, if you keep on doing what you do know.
There is no such thing as a right position, but there is such a thing as a right direction.
Trying is only emphasizing the thing we know already.
Control should be in process, not superimposed.
