Movement & Creativity Podcast Episodes #4-6.

We know, through the teachings of Moshe Feldenkrais, that difference is what makes us human. We already live in a world where this is true, so now the challenge is to really live as if this is true, to move beyond our personal limitations which were inflicted on us in a range of ways to make us conform to parental and societal expectations. These limitations enable us to form the habit of discounting our own sensations and our vowed and unavowed dreams.

This lesson is done lying on your back on a mat, rug or blanket, but can also be done seated in a chair if being on your back is not comfortable.

It’s like no state no emotion has just one solid quality and by exploring all it`s different nuances it breaks apart and opens up to moving into something new… The most profound shift that I can put into words is this newly discovered intelligence of my own system, the rhythmic nature of it’s life and with this embodied knowledge came a sense of ease, trust and purpose that I could not be more grateful for.

Age gracefully I’m so inspired by my Feldenkrais teachers in their 80s. They continue to improve their movement habits even as they age – just as others their age seem to keep declining…

Feel More. Update your habits. Learn to slow down. Improve your brain’s map of your body. Discover the gifts inside pain. Grow your attentional flexibility. Be mindful and spontaneous. Become yourself…

Feldenkrais Podcast #3 with Aliza Stewart

We talk about:

• How the movement of self is similar to the movement of sound

• How the nervous system makes order out of chaos

• How the Feldenkrais Method® influences the experience of anxiety

• What it means to have a good life

• Orientation, creativity, improvement, independence

• There is always a choice

In this Awareness Through Movement® lesson we explore unwinding what Moshe Feldenkrais called the “Body Pattern of Anxiety”. It is a beginner friendly lesson and a great one to come back to again and again.

“To every emotional state corresponds a personal conditioned pattern of muscular contraction without which it has no existence.” -Moshe Feldenkrais, Body and Mature Behavior: A Study of Anxiety, Sex, Gravitation and Learning, p. 128

Feldenkrais Podcast #2 with Madelyn Kent

We talk about talked about:
quieting noise/ anxiety
moving through creative blocks
complex awareness
neuroplastic healing
constraints
flow

This context begins to bring us to appreciate the brilliance of Moshe’s work. When one’s attentional pathway is continually being fostered through the limbic system—in the continual maintenance of the sense of safety and the sense of self, one is not going to give up behaviors unless there’s something better in place.
