obvs when Nick C talks about getting rid of "contractions" / "tension" he doesn't mean your muscles entirely relax and you're a puddle on the floor... otoh w alexander technique movement did *feel* entirely effortless and automatic, no tension also the friston thing, suppressing awareness of existing state in order to predict the next state... like, ideal is full suppression so there's zero awareness of the muscle contraction used to move?
vs at present i'm feeling very aware of a lot of tension in my back and neck and arms and thighs... partially soreness from a run yesterday? unsure how to get to that effortless no-tension feeling
