Laura Bond - Exploring the Emotional Body 52:27

52:27

"We are all emotional beings." I'm going to be a vulnerable here...even though I am feeling better overall than I have ever felt before, I have had a difficult history with my emotions.

Embodying the Voice 20:37

2M ago20:37

20:37

Feldenkrais Practitioner, musician and storyteller David Kaetz says that many of us get disembodied from our voice from a young age. It's common and normal for kids to make sounds as they explore and play, until they get the message that they should be quiet. Is this a message you've internalized?

On today's episode, I take a question from a long time listener and student. She asks, Is it possible to have as much respect and concern for my body as I do for my mind? This is a great question.

The Importance of Rest 26:27

2M ago26:27

26:27

When do you rest? Do you save rest for the end of the day? What does quality rest look like? Many of us are conditioned to work for hours on end with little rest. Rests are often seen as unproductive or a waste of time. Time is money as the adage goes. We're on the clock. Even if we don't believe these statements to be true ourselves, it's certainl…

How you breathe, whether through your nose or through your mouth, the volume of air that you take in, the shape of your breath in your body, where you breathe in your body the air goes, the temp and rhythm, reflects you.

Candia Raquel - Choosing Pleasure: Maturity, Boundaries, and Sensuality 1:00:26

1:00:26

Sensuality is our birthright, says my guest Candia Raquel. Sensuality is pleasure derived from our sensation, free from inhibition and full of self-expression. To be with the sensuous is to be connected to the present. Our modern culture numbs us from our bodies. Pleasure is sold as a product (go get something nice at Starbucks). We're encouraged t…

On Getting Good Grades and Flunking 15:28

A common challenge for students in Awareness Through Movement classes is that they try much harder than they need to. For a good reason too, they want to do a good job in class. They want to do it right. I don't blame them. It's not their fault. I think we can point to our school system for why many of us have had the habits of working hard with ex…

What is Health? 12:01

We deal here with health and not with disease. This is what Moshe Feldenkrais told the students of his training program back in 1980. Feldenkrais offers a two part definition of health and I think it's a big reason the Feldenkrais Method is so compelling for practitioners and long time students of the work. So what is health? Is it simply the freed…
