Awareness Through Movement?

Think of it as an avenue into neuroplasticity and out of fight or flight.  

I became certified to teach ATM® in 2016 and at that time I hadn’t experienced the Moshe Feldenkrais statement that the outcome of the method is to make the impossible possible, the possible easy and the easy elegant and I wasn’t sure I would. After decades of my right arm hanging stiffly at my side with my fingers tense and unused, I now write with my right hand as well as my left.            

  1. Doing less accomplishes more.
  2. Pauses are moments to process in your own sense of stillness.
  3. Observation is a path to follow. Effort is a traffic jam that goes nowhere
  4. Discomfort is a teacher; strain and pain are the enemy.
  5. Your internal sensation is your path. It is your alone, not something to compare  or to judge. 
  6. No action is too small as long as it is down with awareness.
  7. Imagined sensation is just as real as movement we can see.    
  8. Everyone’s path is different. As a teacher, I am a guide; not the dictator of where you can go.
