Feldenkrais taster

The inspiration for me in suggesting this lesson in particular is that it is about the primary relationship we have with ourselves. It demonstrates how transformation can be immediate and simple, using our most intelligent ability, our attention, to sense the growth potential within each of us.
Our learning is unstoppable when we reduce effort and learn to sense more. The reaching upwards of the arms and the rooting into the ground of our feet can give us a deep sense of wellbeing – we literally tend the garden within ourselves.
