Person Centered Wellness Practice

The goal of the method is to help the person feel better physically and emotionally - more ease, less tension, improved, balance, coordination, self regulation, reduce stress and anxiety… list goes on. These goals are not unique, many wellness practices can help with that. What is unique is that the change comes about through exploration and discovery, without forcing, correcting, or consciously teaching the person to be different than they are. The method is based on trust that each person has within them resources needed to learn, heal, improve. And to correct the person or try make them imitate others is inefficient, and disrespectful to the intelligence of their nervous system.

There are no "Feldenkrais positions" or "Feldenkrais movements" that one has to study or memorize. The focus is on exploring the way person moves naturally in a way that increases awareness and facilitates change. This type of emergent change does not require repetition, it integrate naturally, without the need for a person to reinforce it, without the need to remember the exploration that lead to the discovery.

Adopting this approach frees the person from the need to study something that not natural to them. Just requires some patience and curiosity, and a little bit of trust (trusting just long enough to get the first experience of natural, unforced, unplanned, emergent change). Over time you get more and more experiences confirming that working with natural movement and awareness is enough to create possible outcomes, and correcting yourself becomes less and less tempting. Indeed, why bother correcting yourself, or studying some prescribed postures or movements, when its easier and more effective to explore and learn through discovery?
