Product Description

Product Description

The Feldendrais Method is a revolutionary approach to health and fitness. Using what Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais called Awareness Through Movement, people of any age or condition can learn to move more comfortably and effectively. In pleasant yet powerful ways, his method reawakens the natural process by which we as babies learned to crawl, walk, and talk. In the U. S. and Canada more than one thousand guild-certified practitioners teach the Feldenkrais Method. Awareness Heals is the first book to present the full benefits of the Feldenkrais Method in clear language. It details six basic lessons which help you to become more aware of how you breathe, sit, walk, and otherwise move. By sensing these natural actions, you grow more skillful and supple in all your movements. Through the Feldenkrais Method, you can learn to relieve pain, enhance flexibility, and recover from physical or emotional stress. The gentle movements in Awareness Heals are designed for practice at home and work, and even in your car. They fit into any program of fitness, exercise, or therapy. Most important, Feldenkrais lessons demonstrate that such problems as stiffness and stress do not require outside interventionthe remedy lies within each of us.

Format:Paperback
Awareness Heals is an excellent book giving a long list of exercises to get you back in touch with your body, build your awareness and relieve stress.
I bought this book as a complement to Thomas Hannas “Somatics” which gives background history with a series of illustrations, but may not have the range of exercises you are looking for.

It really works! 25 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback
When I first started to read the book I wondered if something so simple could really work.
Sounded like "too good to be true".

But the "what if it works" question kept bugging me and we got together with a group to try it out.
And it works!!

Great book and easy to follow exercises and lots of interesting little stories about the author's time
with Moshe Feldenkrais.

Looked into what the author does now and he has developed a system on top of what he describes in his
book - FlexAware. If you rather follow verbal instructions, he has a DVD available for FlexAware.

Found the images and instructions easy to use, applying specific exercises from the book helped to eliminate the headaches and neurialgic pains I'd had for several months in just a couple of weeks.
