On Being Human
12/4/2018
Margot Schaal, GCFP
Lately, I have taken to reading young adult novels while commuting– books about being human, and about be-coming. These books ask questions, as practitioners often do during a Feldenkrais® lesson. They speak to problems; some are proverbs, or humorous. They describe characters with myriad behaviors, many with complex personalities, neither entirely kind nor all cruel. How youth are introduced to adult life correlates to how clients are introduced to a somatic approach to self-knowledge, experiencing themselves in this moment and place.

As we sit and follow our breath, we become more "mindful," a term Jon Kabat-Zinn defines as “paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.” Although sitting meditation is perhaps one of the well-known avenues for exploring mindfulness, there are others. One of these is the Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education.

If you are a human being, you have a deep natural wellspring of creativity that is your greatest resource for vitality.

I can’t think of anything that will universally improve all aspects of your life more than increasing your understanding of how to tap into this power than the Feldenkrais Method®.

With little exposure to the Feldenkrais Method®, it might get labeled as a physical movement modality, but it is really a way of evolving all human movement which includes emotion and thinking. Feldenkrais himself survived (while some family and friends did not) times beyond most Americans’ imagination. His work was shaped by the desire to help others navigate such devastating times.
