    question:

    Is Kinaesthesia in Alexander Technique anything to do with the new 'sense' developed whilst wearing the FeelSpace Belt talked about on Horizon (in clip below)?
    Is it the same type of sense?

    Kinesthesia is our sense of ourselves in motion, even if that 'motion' is very little, such as when we sit still. It is our sense of our own bodies in space, and how the parts of us make up a whole. So far as I know, it doesn't have much to do with sensing ourselves in relation to the earth's magnetic field, although this may well happen on an unconscious level. One of the key elements of the Technique is to encourage us to become more conscious of our kinesthetic sense.
