Feel Feldee

The Feldenkrais method is a way to learn to move with minimum effort and maximum efficiency, not through muscular strength, but through increased consciousness of how movement works Feldee is shorthand for the Feldenkrais Method and the feeling of lightness, physical ease and calm that comes during and after a Feldenkrais lesson. Its also easier to... pronounce than fel-den-cry-s and shorter than Awareness Through Movement. Your nervous system has two main modes fight and flight or rest and digest. Feldee lessons bring the brain and nervous system into the rest and digest state, thereby encouraging that feeling of zen. Even though movement is involved, Feldee lessons, also called Awareness Through Movement, are less about the movement and more about what happens in the brain when we initiate the movement. The lessons can be entirely done in the imagination and still have the same effect because your brain sends the impulses to the muscles even when we dont act on those impulses with actual movement. Much like meditation, we are turning our attention inward and noticing what is happening with acceptance rather than judgement. Ill never say anything is impossible, but its extremely hard for our frontal cortex to fill our mind with anxious thoughts when we are fully engaging our sensorimotor cortex. For many, that realization is the sign that they are ready to feel feldee. I need an entire page to answer that question.
