Awareness Through Movement #124

Work with the active dominant hand - read by Megan Hopley

A heads up, Megan will be reading once a week, at least, while she’s in Melbourne rather than sitting out bush with indigenous women learning about the laws of the land.

Oops, I did it again… forgot to post the blog with a link for tonight thinking it was all handled because Megan’s reading tonight and I can sit back.

When I was in the shower 20 minutes ago the thought arrived “oh, I still have to send the link”.

below you will find it, for a beautiful lesson that (for me) really softened my hands.. I think this is the one some call surgeon’s hands.. after Moshe visited a doctor for eye surgery and he was appalled at how hard the doctor’s hands were, they way he moved them to pick up objects sounded an internal alarm for Moshe... so he gave the doctor a Feldenkrais lesson before allowing him to touch his eyes.

delicate hand movements, fingers, palm of the hand, Feldenkrais lesson

Such a Moshe thing to do!

And I just did a Dale thing.. these images take a few minutes to process so I went into the kitchen to get a drink and had the thought.. I’m hungry, if I cook dinner now then I can still be ready for the lesson. So I started cooking. As I squeezed half a lemon over the seafood I realised the post still hadn’t been sent… “oh I better do that”.
