My life was changed forever by the revolutionary multi-instrumentalist, composer and improviser Anthony Braxton. Later it was changed forever again by somatic pioneer Moshe Feldenkrais. Here’s a partial account of how and why.
Moshe Feldenkrais clarified that the emotions are expressed through the musculature. So why shouldn’t learning to control muscular tone have everything do with our ability to control our emotions?
This is the “unpolished thought” that almost wasn’t. Thank God I remembered what I learned from Moshe Feldenkrais about reversibility!
What’s the difference between trying to “succeed” and trying to improve”? Moshe Feldenkrais taught us that our drive to achieve makes us move too quickly, not listening to ourselves. But there is a better way.
“We are all one” is a statement people could argue about all day. But if your connection to everyone else simply felt like a fact of life, how would you live differently?
