To Direct in the Alexander Technique is, roughly, to give yourself conscious orders that replace a habitual way of doing something. It is the second Alexander step for breaking old habits and establishing new habits.

Leland Vall Alexander Technique Tip 32

The previous Tip (Tip 31) is about Inhibition, but once you stop the old way, you need a new way. Direction is the collection of orders that you give yourself in order to do something in a new way and also create new habits. It is important to remember that although Inhibition and Direction are different, they can only work as a pair. More on that in the next Tip. There is also a video of this at Tip 81.
