Have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt the energy shift? Or sat next to someone in meditation and found your practice suddenly deeper, more anchored?

There’s an invisible thread connecting all of us - a field of intelligence that allows healing to ripple from one nervous system to another. In today’s episode, I’m sharing stories from Feldenkrais classrooms, meditation halls, and healing tables that reveal how we actually heal each other simply through our presence.

This isn’t just beautiful theory - it’s neuroscience, and it changes everything about how we approach community, collaboration, and our own healing journey.

What if everything you’ve been taught about the separation between mind and body is wrong? What if your body isn’t just carrying out your mind’s commands, but is actually an integral part of your intelligence, memory, and decision-making?

The book, "The Elusive Obvious," was once only available in Hardback format — which brings me a special kind of sensorial gratification.

As I flip through the dense and fibrous pages, I digest each word of somatic wonder. My mind starts to bend towards a deeper realization that this work, The Feldenkrais Method®, is so much more than movement. What we discover about ourselves can change everything!

The movements of Feldenkrais® can serve as a conduit to a deeper connection to yourself and is one of the ways in which it’s similar to yoga. The difference, however, is how we go about those movements. But those differences can vary from person-to-person and from teacher-to-teacher (lineage or style).

Have you ever had a moment of subtle resistance? Well, of course, we all have. Here is a little trick I learned while exploring Awareness Through Movement and again while sitting on my cushion. To be frank, it has helped me in just about everything I do.

Recently I noticed I was reluctant to start dinner. Strange. I love to cook. I love to eat. I have a big beautiful box of fresh veggies from my local CSA. So, why on earth was I resisting this?

Recently a student approached me at the end of class and asked me if experiencing strong emotions while doing Awareness Through Movement was normal. My answer: “Yes.” Emotions don’t surface all of the time, but it does happen, and the intensity of the experience can vary.

When I first started reading Moshe Feldenkrais’ books nearly 25 years ago, I was utterly obsessed with the mind-body connections—specifically how I could shift my emotional base and perspectives by working with my body. I consumed his writings along with those of Ida Rolf, Alexander Lowen, and books like Emotional Anatomy.

Every once in a while, I find one of those quotes that has a way of working me – shifting me slowly but consistently over time — echoing in everything that I do. Somehow the Robert Frost quote from A Servant’s Servant has been one of those unique passages that continue to whisper to me when my motivation is low, and my curiosity has waned.

“What sound does the Moon make?” he said to me on our way home from the park.

“I don’t know, what do you hear?” I replied.
