Mouritz description: 

Transcript of a talk Catharine Wielopolska and Dr Mario Pazzaglini gave to ACAT students in New York, about the discovery and use of the eye order in teaching the Alexander Technique. The eye order is ‘eyes free to go apart’ as a precursor to the primary control. Wielopolska is also suggesting to think of the directions as ‘words without meaning’, allowing the ‘body’s intelligence’ to interpret it as it wishes. The importance of the word ‘free’ is stressed, and she also relates some of her memoirs of F. M. Alexander. Because of the nature of a transcript it appears that occasionally a word is missing.
