23.01.2022 "One of Feldenkrais's most important ways of helping a damaged brain learn was to use his own body to sense, match, and identify with the nervous system of his ...pupil. Touch was always important to him because he believed that when his nervous system connected with the other person's, they formed one system, "a new ensemble... a new entity.... Both the touched and the toucher feel what they sense through the connecting hands, even if they do not understand and do not know what is being done. The touched person becomes aware of what the touching person feels and, without understanding, alters his configuration to conform to what he senses is wanted from him." (Quote from Chapter 5 of: The Brain's Way of Healing, by Norman Doidge, MD) In a related study by scientists at Linköping University the effects of interpersonal touch on various aspects of the nervous system were investigated.

21.01.2022 Interesting and about time.

13.01.2022 Here is a great description of the method. Ok ... it goes for over 4 minutes but the presentation is engaging and well worth the viewing.

09.01.2022 It should be further realized that as changes take place in the self, new and hitherto unrecognized difficulties will be discovered. The consciousness previous...ly rejected them either from fear or because of pain, and it is only as self confidence increases that it becomes possible to identify them. Moshe Feldenkrais; Awareness Through Movement Getting to know your habits of thinking, feeling, sensing and moving so as to fully know what it is that you do, can unravel a habitual behavior and expose difficulties you had forgotten about or believed you had worked through. Often it is tempting to hold onto the habit in order to smooth over the difficulty, instead of creating space for yourself to test out an alternative. Slowing down and coming lightly towards the area of difficulty, be it a movement or an emotion, can give you space to explore what else could be possible. Can more of you soften into a difficult movement? Can you sense a physical manifestation of a strong emotion and connect into it, utilizing movement to soften its intensity? By peeling away what no longer serves you, what can you reveal and restore anew?
