BELIEVE IT OR NOT…

Can you do and be other than you do or act now? Yes! Are you too old or too young? No! The power of the Feldenkrais Method® lies in the capacity to train your awareness; to develop expanded attentional capacities; to know how and when to attend to what, or where to place your attention… This is one of the most striking things that makes the Feldenkrais Method unique to so many other wonderful movement methods. Why is this important? Who cares if you have expanded attentional capacities or heightened abilities of awareness? Because it is “attention”, and “awareness” that enhances the changes in the brain that allow you to live the life you most want to live. How? By developing the key aspect to making learning, changing and expanding your behavioural repertoir not only possible, but easier, faster and more enjoyable.

Do you beleive this? Its okay if you don’t, it still works anyway!

In a review of the book Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain found in Shambhala Sun magazine, the reviewer quotes Fred Gage, a neurogeneticist at the Salk Institute in California as saying “By focusing your attention, you’re regulating the sensory infomation coming into your brain and influencing the electrophysiological activity occurring there. If you stimulate those circuits repeatedly, over long periods of time, the circuits will modify themselves. This is independent of…issues of free will, and it’s even true of single neruons in culture. You don’t even have to ‘believe’ in it. It’s just how the brain works.”
