      Thank you very much! Taking time to speak calmly and to observe quietly is wonderful indeed… and comments like these help me sticking to this principle and confirm that there are people around who appreciate this!

      You can look for a teacher via the website of the Alexander Technique teachers society in your country. Hopefully there's someone near you. Good luck!

      :) Thank you for this question.
      Jesus could have saved Himself,yet He chose to suffer and die in our place because of His love for us.
      Matthew 26
      53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
      54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
      Romans 5
      6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
      7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
      8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

      2 Peter 1:21
      For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
      1 Corinthians 15
      1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
      2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
      3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
      4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
      5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
      6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
      7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
      8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
      9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

      Your beliefs stem from somewhere, either something you read, something that was told to you, or by something that you have experienced or witnessed in your life and you have placed your faith in that thing or thing's.
      God has given us all a measure of Faith and free will to choose to do what we will with that faith.
      I have chosen by process of elimination to believe God and my eternal destination is secure because of that, not to mention the way that my life has drastically changed by incorporating God's principles and teachings.
      I have read a plethora of books, I actually enjoy reading.
      Who better to feed my brain then the Creator; God Almighty who formed it.
