Begin

Let's begin. What has already begun? What do you want to begin? What happens in the beginning of your inhale? And the beginning of your exhale?

The Wisdom of Doing Less

"Do a little less than your utmost while learning... continuing to do a little less than your utmost, you go on improving.... The wisdom of doing a little less than one really can pushes the record of achievement further and further as you come nearer to it, similar to the horizon that recedes on approaching it." 

This is Chapter 20 from Feldenkrais Illustrated: The Art of Learning, excerpts from the writings of Moshe Feldenkrais, edited and illustrated by Tiffany Sankary.

Create Space

"We are beginning to place enormous emphasis on creativity, but there is a tendency to think that being creative is limited to “producing” something. I would suggest to you that the basic creativity of the human being consists in his working toward his own fullest development, the realizing of his own potentials, the allowing himself to grow. What we create first is ourselves and it is out of ourselves that the producing comes.” - Mary Whitehouse

Exploring Movement of the Eyes / Expanding your ...

We can improve the use of our eyes but not without improving all of ourselves. Feldenkrais said:

"...we have to learn to listen and think and feel and feel the length of our body and the width of the body and feel the movement and the voice and the thinking that we do and yet move your eyes."

Feldenkrais Podcast #1: Jeff Haller on Emotions

This first episode of Feldenkrais Podcast is a talk with Jeff Haller on Moshe Feldenkrais teaching in Amherst, MA 1980-81 and Jeff's perspective on the Feldenkrais Method's potential to contribute to emotional well being. 

Imagination and Instinct

"...willpower and intelligence are merely superficial expressions of the mind whereas their deeper manifestations are imagination and instinct...Educating the imagination is more important than educating the will. Man fulfills in his life what his imagination directs him to do. Each of us contains his life's image within himself. The course of our lives expresses and fulfills this image…

Confusion and the Creative Process

I found the Feldenkrais Method during a confusing search for how to have a more loving relationship with my body after growing up in a family and society that taught me to hate it. The invitations the Method offered were liberating: feel without judgement, move without comparing myself to others, and sense internally instead of looking to others to validate if what I was doing was correct. Through permission and encouragement to imperfectly cultivate my own inner sense of knowing, I found grace in a clunky un-embodied body. I found presence where I had been absent for so long. This coming home to myself was a creative, dynamic process...

What do you really want?

I have been doing a lot of soul searching, visioning, prioritizing lately and I am learning so much! I am asking myself the question, "What is it that I really want?" which is one of the core questions of The Feldenkrais Method and Authentic Movement practice. My answers are unfolding, but one this is clear: I want connection with myself and others.

INVITATION: Take a moment to pause, connect with yourself and ask yourself the question: What do you really want?

I would love to hear from you. Bringing language to your intentions can be a powerful step in reorganizing your brain/body/life. Please comment below!

I look forward to connecting with you.

I want to integrate what I know about wellness and empowerment with my work in the arts. I am discerning if this means training to be a Feldenkrais Practitioner, or something else, but I am enjoying the journey.

I want the life that wills to live in me to express itself.

I also want more connection with others and myself but I want those connections to feel safe, respectful and to be honored as true gifts we can give each other. I want to know how to make that safe space for myself and others…
