Breathe in….. notice what happens with your abdomen.

I remember when I read a lesson for anAYaDay and saying the word “energy” in one lesson to a group of experienced practitioners, I was quite surprised by the feedback. One mentioned her experience with Moshe after she shared with him an article she’d written mentioning the energy she felt after a lesson (or something like that). She handed it to him all proud, yet he wasn’t impressed with the airy fairy Californian feedback. He wanted his work to be taken seriously, not to dissipate it into wishy washy spiritual non-sense (was the sense I got from what she said).

It seems from that day on an unspoken agreement exists amongst Feldenkrais practitioners to jump on anybody who dares mention “energy” in relation to this Method.

For me, that was then, this is now… and it’s time to open up that conversation.

oh, and please, breathe out if you haven’t already!

a group discussion, gather ‘round, men, women, children
