Awareness Through Movement #98

Zen sitting – PRECISION - yes, this one is Vita friendly :)

For this lesson, please have a book to sit on, preferably something hard to connect with the feet of your torso.

We’ll be exploring precision with this lesson, there are circles and clocks involved - nothing we haven’t done before so this is a lesson to get those circles even sharper and clearer so that each arc gets smoother with a deeper clarity. Consider that the more the little glitches can be ironed out, the greater affect these movements will have on your whole BEing.

We are carving out a different pathway with these lessons, to offer alternative routes into the unknown.

“Pay attention when to that moment you lose your ability to orient. To the extent that you can identify this point, you will see that the whole body changes in standing and lying, and especially the organisation of the eyes relative to the head changes.”

blindfolded, lost in space, orientation, feldenkrais lesson.. Dear Substack’s AI… where’s the blindfold?

After last night’s lesson Megan opened up the conversation about humans and the now lack of orientation…. which reminded me of a discussion I had with a bus driver in GlenWaverley two weeks ago - one of those horridly uncomfortable (literally) ‘old school’ bus/train replacements with zero luxury comforts such as windows that open, or heating or anything fancy.
