Put In a New Card: Re-learn Anything you Would Like

Dear Students:
My next workshop is coming up on April 30th entitled, Twisting & Turning, For Experienced Feldenkrais® Students.  Learn how to twist and turn the way you  always dreamed!  Contact me to register and to find out more!

Twisting2 “You can, at any time of your life, provided I can convince you that there is nothing permanent and compulsive in your system except your belief that it is so, re-learn anything that you would like.” ~Moshe Feldenkrais

The Quieting the Eyes, Quieting the Mind, workshop had a full turn out and many students reported experiencing wonderful changes. Re-learning through your eyes is very powerful as you will hear through some of the following comments:

“Your workshop really opened my eyes (no pun intended) to how important my eyes are and to focus on them just as much as I focus on the rest of my body.  Thanks!”  ~A.M.

“I feel that my shoulder movements and walking is so much better!” ~G.C.

My depth perception was wonderful and I am still noticing it.   Today I took my glasses off when I was driving and was pleasantly surprised when I could see distance!” ~S.H.

“It was amazing to me!  I was surprised that at my age I could learn new ways to move my eyes!  I felt that the structure of the workshop taught me how to concentrate more and more deeply throughout and afterwards.” ~W.K.

“The workshop was great and I have been sharing what I’ve learned with my fellow employees who have been experiencing eye issues as well as sharing with them other aspects of Feldenkrais®.”  ~A.M.

“I love how the Feldenkrais system always teaches me some amazing fact about my body. It was really fascinating to see how eyes are so pivotal to many functions that we would never think are related to them!  Donna’s gentle, compassionate approach really helps with getting the best out of the workshop!” ~A.B.

I slept again like a log last night and felt replenished but tired this morning.  As the day progressed I felt more energized and best of all I can feel the change in walking and everything else.  I am not in pain and my head seems to be staying in balance.” ~D.B.

“My upper back flexibility increased by inches!  Doing walkovers today feels like it did when I was a young gymnast!”~D.L.B.

“A human being is like a computer that is capable of thousands of things. But we put in a card that moshe2only lets it do one thing. Until you change the card, that is all the computer will do: that one thing, over and over and over. That is the state in which we function and we believe that no other cards exist, that this card is the one and only card that we can function upon. I say that the difference between human beings and machines is that we make the cards. So, when one card doesn’t work, take it out and put in a new card. ~Moshe Feldenkrais

Dr. Feldenkrais made it easy for all of us to learn how to “put in a new card” through Awareness Through Movement® classes & workshops, and during Functional Integration® sessions!  I hope to see you exploring with me soon!
~Donna
