👉 The Alexander fluid is a viscous, colorless, and odorless liquid used in Alexander technique (AT) practice to enhance body awareness and relaxation. It is derived from the fluid found in the joints of animals, particularly horses, when they move or lie down. In AT, practitioners apply gentle pressure to the fluid using their fingertips, which helps them develop a heightened sense of proprioception (body awareness) and encourages the release of tension in the body. This fluid serves as a metaphorical guide, prompting practitioners to focus on subtle changes in their physical state and fostering a deeper connection between mind and body.
