Dismantling

I wrote recently (about emergence) that the river will flow if we dismantle the dam. So how do we dismantle? Especially since the patterns (dams) that interfere with our innate freedom (river) can feel insurmountable? In my experience the process of dismantling a dam, no matter the size, is really quite simple:

Emergence

I'm thinking about Alexander technique as the art of allowing emergence. Allowing is the action and the emergence of that which is already true is the result. But in Alexander Technique we are not unbiased in what we allow (not just any allowing will result in emergence), we are directional, directing the allowing towards what is innate. And we know that what is innate to our organism is ease, efficiency, adaptability, brilliance, and whole health.
