On today's episode, we are examining the big picture, specifically focusing on awareness and choice, and how both are crucial for leadership.

Until we become aware of our patterns, they simply appear familiar and normal to us.…

52:27

"We are all emotional beings." I'm going to be a vulnerable here...even though I am feeling better overall than I have ever felt before, I have had a difficult history with my emotions. My frame before was that emotions happen to me. They drove the bus. What I have learned since is two primary things, 1) that emotions are information (not truth) an…

Embodying the Voice 20:37

3M ago20:37

20:37

Feldenkrais Practitioner, musician and storyteller David Kaetz says that many of us get disembodied from our voice from a young age. It's common and normal for kids to make sounds as they explore and play, until they get the message that they should be quiet. Is this a message you've internalized? How playful with your voice are you One of my main …

Respect Your Body Like Your Mind 25:39

3M ago25:39

25:39

On today's episode, I take a question from a long time listener and student. She asks, Is it possible to have as much respect and concern for my body as I do for my mind? This is a great question. Does it resonate with you? Are you intellectually gifted or cognitively centered? It's hard not to have an emphasis on the mind over the body in our cult…

The Importance of Rest 26:27

3M ago26:27

26:27

When do you rest? Do you save rest for the end of the day? What does quality rest look like? Many of us are conditioned to work for hours on end with little rest. Rests are often seen as unproductive or a waste of time. Time is money as the adage goes. We're on the clock. Even if we don't believe these statements to be true ourselves, it's certainl…

We breathe every every minute. Breath is essential to life. How you breathe, whether through your nose or through your mouth, the volume of air that you take in, the shape of your breath in your body, where you breathe in your body the air goes, the temp and rhythm, reflects you. Your breath reflects how you think, how you feel, what's going on…

Candia Raquel - Choosing Pleasure: Maturity, Boundaries, and Sensuality 1:00:26

4M ago1:00:26

1:00:26

Sensuality is our birthright, says my guest Candia Raquel. Sensuality is pleasure derived from our sensation, free from inhibition and full of self-expression. To be with the sensuous is to be connected to the present. Our modern culture numbs us from our bodies. Pleasure is sold as a product (go get something nice at Starbucks). We're encouraged t…

Marlene came to class with a big celebration. She reported that after our previous Feldenkrais class, she found a sense of embodied empowerment she hadn't felt since she was a vibrant cheerleader at the age of 19 - six decades ago!

In the previous episode I talked about how our time in school has a lasting impact on our experience. For many It shapes us to do well, that we must get good grades and to avoid punishment due to mistakes and errors.

On Getting Good Grades and Flunking 15:28

7M ago15:28

15:28

A common challenge for students in Awareness Through Movement classes is that they try much harder than they need to. For a good reason too, they want to do a good job in class. They want to do it right. I don't blame them. It's not their fault. I think we can point to our school system for why many of us have had the habits of working hard with ex…

Do you have a memory of a time when you were a kid and you ran away and hid? There was something so bad and you felt so terrible that you had to get away. Does that memory linger with you?

What is Health? 12:01

8M ago12:01

12:01

We deal here with health and not with disease. This is what Moshe Feldenkrais told the students of his training program back in 1980. Feldenkrais offers a two part definition of health and I think it's a big reason the Feldenkrais Method is so compelling for practitioners and long time students of the work. So what is health? Is it simply the freed…

When Jenny Frank-Doggett incorporates Feldenkrais® into her therapy sessions, she finds it helps her clients to feel better. She means 'feel better' in two meanings.

For over a decade I have done video editing. So often by the end of a work session I would walk away feeling cranky or prickly. While creating the videos I was also creating unnecessary discomfort (which sent my on a journey into the Feldenkrais Method). That was the basis for burnout and resentment. Not good. I believe everybody is fundamentally c…

"We all have more experience of movement, and more capacity for it, than of feeling and thought," says Moshe Feldenkrais in his 3rd argument for Why Movement as a basis for self-improvement.
