Le basi del metodo per la consapevolezza dei processi psicomotori

by Moshé Feldenkrais

Ogni aspetto della vita umana, compresa la sicurezza interiore, dipende dalla postura, dall'equilibrio del corpo, dal radicamento dei piedi a terra. Agendo sulla postura (che è determinata dalla dinamica di tre fattori: spazio, ambiente sociale e forza di gravità) si può giungere a una modalità di azione o reazione non più dettata dall'abitudine ma dalla situazione del momento. Con le sue due tecniche, l''integrazione funzionale' e la 'consapevolezza attraverso il movimento', il Metodo Feldenkrais ha rivoluzionato lo studio dei processi psicomotori.

f the three books I recently "read" by Feldenkrais (see, however, How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read), this is the most accessibly written. It comes at a later stage in his career than the other two, I believe, when his systems of Structural Integration and Awareness Through Movement were pretty fully developed. So actual application of his ideas is presented, which is helpful to getting an idea of what he's all about.

The last 1/4 to 1/3 of the book gets into a basic Awareness Through Movement sequence. This is a good place to start to learn about the technique.

It's obvious Feldenkrais is not a writer. The book is not engaging, but when you try out the method, the lessons, it opens up a whole new world. So not for reading, but for trying out yourself.

Chapter: Subjective and Objective Reality

This chapter states that subjective reality is bigger than objective. The main argument is that there are more neural connections that are handling internal processes than ones that process external ones. Much more.


Chapter: A Second Look

The opposite sides of our body learn from each other. Scientific research is too inexact to be applicable to specific cases.
The body reverts to old patterns when it faces a situation that can not be handled in leisure. New pattern require calm and resources.


Chapter: Biological Aspects of Posture

The nervous system has tremendous power to change our physiology. Posture is what put humans on top of the food chain, made man a king of the animal world.

A man holds energy while erect, meaning that any movement requires only a realie of that energy. Think about how easy it is to look different directions, and what a human is capable of (gymnastics, watch making, musical instruments).

All of this is thanks to our posture.

This book contains some of the most practical approaches to understanding one's mind and body. Feldenkrais implores us to breakdown how and why we find something so "obvious". In doing so, we may become aware of what we do through movement and achieve what Feldenkrais refers to as "Functional Integration."

Great book. Some difficult concepts inside. Took me a couple of read-throughs.
