Awareness Through Movement #115

A plane dividing the body, part 2 - IMAGINATION

When you cast your mind back three lessons ago you might remember Moshe divided us with an imaginary plane… and then cleaned it. . My opinion could have interfered with your experience in that last lesson, I confessed to Megan afterward to not liking the section with the ball, which, you might have sensed in the way I delivered that section.

This time, I got with the program and really imagined a little ball inside mySelf, bouncing between my spine and inside of the ribs… you may be able to pick up on the difference this time.

imagine if it were an eyeball bouncing around inside you! Feldenkrais lesson

“To the extent that the image of the body will be clear in your consciousness and all the points are clear in an equal way, you will see it will go with the greatest ease possible. It will be as simple as lifting a finger without any difficulty. You will see that in those places where it is difficult, there still are areas of the body that disappear from attention — places to which you cannot listen.”

*Listen meaning to be aware of.

I found it amazing how different one side could feel compared to the other, without really having physically, it was really only my mind doing the “work”..
