It strikes me as meaningful that all 3 principles relate to Awareness. Awareness of your structure, awareness of your tension, awareness of your inner body connections.
I think I have been learning these methods intuitively and im stunned to hear you say these things because I was applying them without knowing it and it really was the only way I could move through this back alignment work I've been doing for my scoliosis. I'm a massage therapist but I had never looked into the Feldenkrais method but I had heard of it and now I feel like I need to pursue it because I already feel so aware of this and it really is so life changing!
Wonderful that you have intuited this-- Keep in touch. It's wonderful to have your massage background with understanding of the body, kinesiology and bones to sense your internal support.
Oh my goodness. I’d just discovered this intuitively, and then ran to my phone to see if there was anything that existed on it. Crazy to immediately be brought to this video. And to see that what came naturally to me, is a thing already. Very cool!
Amazing I have listened to this explanation before and clearly totally forgotten it , today revisiting it it makes sense. Thank you for your clear explanations.
Hi Preeti, Glad to hear. Here's a link to my current and past classes: www.sensingvitality.com/workshops/ My Patreon site has both the current live online series and all video recordings (edited) of past classes as well as my CD audio lesson library. www.patreon.com/SensingVitality?fan_landing=true
Yes-- in fact, I have a two-month series of classes working with the pelvis -- one more live online class on the 30th of this month. The full classes are on Patreon. Check out my Hips Playlist on TH-cam as well: th-cam.com/play/PLrnMEMVXiYLwFUj6A2pEcHWcEKYTeuHgb.html
I hope so too-- Check out my hand playlist. I recommend working with Head & Neck playlist and shoulder playlist. Head & Neck Playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLrnMEMVXiYLy8Z6azdx0hkhKsAco0C5x5.html Shoulders: th-cam.com/play/PLrnMEMVXiYLzKI0UBwTN-CVEwg_EnAOLZ.html Often carpal tunnel begins with head/neck alignment/movement - so if you can untangle these areas this helps greatly from the impingements resulting from body mechanics If you are motivated to change these habits I recommend my two guided audio series of lessons for Head & Neck, Shoulders which you can stream on my Patreon site or your can purchase through Amazon or iTunes.
There are a few practitioners that specialize with Parkinson's. I have not worked with essential tremors, but I'm sure someone has. I can check with my international group.
There are may be factors that contribute to daily migraines. If you have worked with a professional - doctor, naturopath, chiropractor did they ask When did this start? After a car accident, fall or hormonal change.... does it feel like a misalignment in your neck or mid back or eye strain? There are things that may help begin lessening the pain/symptoms. I find gentle massaging in a circle manner on the outer part of your ear and slowly working inward can be helpful for headaches. Be sure you breathe in a relaxed manner and try to quiet your nervous system by staying calm, in a soothing way you would calm a child or pet. I have a number of meditation practices that are helpful for headaches in my playlists, as well as check out the head & neck playlist as well. The ear pull lesson is very helpful for headaches. I will see about making a video specifically addressing headaches. Take care-- and be gentle with yourself.
@@SensingVitality The daily aura migraines started after I had an ASD (Atrial Septal Defect) patched and had a stroke as a result of that non-invasive surgery due to blockage to the left thalamus of my brain back in June 2015 when I was 17 years old. The reason why we'd bothered patching the ASD was because of a stroke back in October 2014 (still 17 years old) caused by reversing of the blood and blood not being filtered properly, bad blood mixing in with the good blood, so I had 2 strokes back to back. I've had CT and MRI scans proving this year that my brain is almost completely healed, yet the migraines haven't let up any. Can't go to work or school. Society puts emphasis on school and work, yet I can't do either. There's certainly an eye strain that is worrying to me, and muscle knots at the base of my skull (it's what it feels like). I've talked to pretty much every specialist you can think of. I haven't seen a nutritionist, which I thought about. I will check out the meditation practices. Thank you
@@Lincolnator721 Hello L. - If you would like to write me through my website: www.sensingvitality.com in the contact section, that will be more private for future -- I have worked with some stroke clients and your case sounds quite complex. However, this work can be so helpful for stroke and what I find is that whatever you do-- it's probably best to do small amounts with rest interspersed. Small amounts of meditation. Rest. Small amounts of movement. Rest. If the brain gets overstimulated, pain is often set off. It can be tedious at times to be resting so often and going slowly, but better than triggering more pain. This kind of listening to the body builds trust inwardly with your body's ability to heal. For now, that is what I can offer. Will see about doing a video for headaches with you in mind.
Yes, There is a modality called T-Touch or Tellington Touch for Dogs, Horses and animals. Linda Tellington has courses, books and videos on how to apply the Feldenkrais Method® to animals with her own approach. She is still alive and a wonderful teacher.
So that’s what you look like!! Listened to your podcasts for years! You have one of the least annoying most kind voices I know by the way. Mark - the embodiment Podcast
She seems like such a nice person. I can't stand a woman sitting like that, though, feels like it's not self-respectful (I'd bet it's not the case). I'm sure I'm gonna enjoy putting these techniques into practice.
Yes-- Since this video, I've been aware of this distraction-- and appreciate your honest feedback. It's hard to edit that for viewers now, but hopefully you will see more clarity in my filming in future videos.
Get over yourself and your sexist comment. Be aware that you are being sexist so you can grow from it. "Can't stand a woman sitting like that." Women can sit how they please, just as men can.
Wow. Feels like it’s rather stupid to make such comments when you might just examine your own pre judgement instead. A woman sits comfortably therefore it must be lacking self respect. Bizarre.
The content information is useful, the intro music is OK the titles are fine, but the video and audio quality of the basic video are poor. Rule #1 of production is that for maximum communication every technical aspect should be roughly equal in quality to the basic presentation. A contrast between the element will make to worst seem worse and become a distraction. Rule #2 is to never talk down to an audience. Use proper names for things like pelvis and coccyx and if you believe the audience is unfamiliar with the terms, then explain them. Any adult who can learn to spell and follow Feldenkrais can learn a few new words. Rule #3 is to stick with a subject. Feldenkrais is not magic. No aspect of it is magical. It is a 100% practical and pragmatic approach to learning to use the body through awareness. Make more videos, but get some tech help so they retain their value as tech continues to progress.
You are so right here that this particular video is not the best technical quality. I plan to do another on this topic with better quality-- sorry that was so irritating to you. Appreciate your feedback.
Rule #1 Don't lecture, show Rule #2 Be constructive, not arrogant Rule #3 Be clear, use short sentences Rule #4 Don't use the simple three rule approach
It strikes me as meaningful that all 3 principles relate to Awareness. Awareness of your structure, awareness of your tension, awareness of your inner body connections.
Thanks for that observation!
I love that the Universe put this in my path. Such cool stuff

Nice use of Bruce Cockburn's guitar at the beginning and end.
Thanks John. and thanks to Bruce!
This is such a helpful video i just started looking into this where can I learn more about your classes?

Love your way of explaining this method 🙏
Would you recommend Feldenkrais for SIJ dysfunction?
Yes-- in fact, I have a two-month series of classes working with the pelvis -- one more live online class on the 30th of this month. The full classes are on Patreon. Check out my Hips Playlist on TH-cam as well: th-cam.com/play/PLrnMEMVXiYLwFUj6A2pEcHWcEKYTeuHgb.html

I have carpal tunnel from pro cleaning. Hoping this will keep me from having to have surgery.
I hope so too-- Check out my hand playlist. I recommend working with Head & Neck playlist and shoulder playlist. Head & Neck Playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLrnMEMVXiYLy8Z6azdx0hkhKsAco0C5x5.html
Shoulders: th-cam.com/play/PLrnMEMVXiYLzKI0UBwTN-CVEwg_EnAOLZ.html
Often carpal tunnel begins with head/neck alignment/movement - so if you can untangle these areas this helps greatly from the impingements resulting from body mechanics

Has anyone used the feldenkrias method to control essential tremors?
There are a few practitioners that specialize with Parkinson's. I have not worked with essential tremors, but I'm sure someone has. I can check with my international group.
Hola espero te llegue el mensaje

This is holy
Awareness is holy for sure...
How can I get rid of daily aura migraines using Feldenkrais method?
Almost at the end of my rope

Hello, I would love to have a private online lesson with you. Is it possible?
How can I apply Feldenkrais Method to dogs ? I would imagine it works a similar way as with babies
Yes, There is a modality called T-Touch or Tellington Touch for Dogs, Horses and animals. Linda Tellington has courses, books and videos on how to apply the Feldenkrais Method® to animals with her own approach. She is still alive and a wonderful teacher.

Glad to hear! :)
Feel your bones
Focus on moving with ease
Using your attention
That's it! :)
This sounds like a bunch of bs.
Did you try it or just listen? This is experiential work to access your nervous system through your skeleton.
