Awareness Through Movement #95

Turning the nose in a circle - Vita friendly :)

If I hold it in the centre of the wheel, then, yes — all the points will make a circle around the same centre. Otherwise, not all the points draw a circle around the same centre. Slowly, slowly you will see wondrous things that you did not know while you move the head in this circular fashion. It will seem that all the parts do the same thing, but to the extent that you discern it, you will see that they do completely different things. Soon you will see.

Moshe Feldenkrais - at some point during this lesson

“draw a clock with the nose”… alllmost! Substack’s AI is kind of sort of… on a completely different track. These algorithms really don’t know what to do with non-linear requests. These robots are ssssoo far away from the human experience.

This lesson combines a few tricks we’ve done in previous ATM’s… we’ll be repeating the same same same movement and shifting the attention to different places to experience the power of our awareness. I think the point Moshe’s making is to give people a strong sense for how our awareness can completely shift the (dare I say it) “energy” of the environment we live in.

We’ll be doing more (nose) clocks in this one, and, we’ve also heard something like this before:
