About the Author
Moshe Feldenkrais, D.Sc., is the founder of what is today called the Feldenkrais Method. As a result of suffering debilitating injuries, Feldenkrais began an intense exploration into the relationship between bodily movement and healing, feeling, thinking, and learning. In the process of healing himself, Feldenkrais made revolutionary discoveries, culminating in the development of the method that now bears his name. There are two aspects to his method: an individual manipulatory technique of neuromotor education called Functional Integration and a group technique called Awareness Through Movement. His unique and subtle approach to facilitating human change and to improving functioning is spelled out in a number of influential books, including Awareness Through Movement, The Elusive Obvious, and The Potent Self. Dr. Feldenkrais was also the author of a number of books about Judo and one of the first Europeans to hold a black belt in the art. Today there are nearly four thousand Feldenkrais Method practitioners around the world. Moshe Feldenkrais died in 1980 and his insights continue to contribute to the development of the new field of somatic education and continue to influence disciplines such as the arts, education, psychology, child development, physical and occupational therapy, sports enhancement, and gerontology.
Carl Ginsburg, Ph.D. is one of Dr. Feldenkrais’s original students and holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry. He has been involved with the Feldenkrais Method for thirty years. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

The Master's 1st presentation of his Method's foundations,
By Eli Guy "Feldenkrais practitioner plus" (jerusalem) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Body and Mature Behaviour: A Study of Anxiety, Sex, Gravitation and Learning (Library Binding)
"I contend that rigidity [...] i.e., the adeherence to a principle to the utter exclusion of its opposite, is contrary to the laws of life." Thus wrote Feldenkrais in this book in 1949, when he was 45 years old, already an expert in Judo and with a PhD in physics. In those years he settled for some time in Britain after having emmigrated from Russia, where he was born, to Palestine, and then travelling to France, where he spent a few years studying science and training in Judo. The book presents the essence of his fenomenally wide perspective about re-opening the path for personal development. He puts himself alongside the great masters searching for methods for cure from ailments, both physical and mental. His motto is learning, which he considers "the uniqueness of Man". Learning in the deep, dynamic sense of perpetually creating and utilizing new options for experience and action. Continuous learning requires that we shall not forget that "...the principles we learn are themselves ephemeral and not absolute". Here are the foundations of his approach presented to the intelligent reader. To read the book you must be willing to deal with a style of writing which, however demanding, goes straight into all topics which Moshe considered vital to his method. A condensed description of the conditions of our existence, touching upon topics like neurology, prehistory, child development, individual--society relationships, and more. A rare discussion of gravitation and the anti-gravity mechanism is followed by a discussion of the effects of emotion (especially anxiety and the attitude to sexuallity) on posture and on personal patterns of movement. Here you can read one of Moshe's earlier presentation of the ideas that guided him through the development of his unique method and technique of therapy and instruction by direct contact with the nervous system. The aim is to re-tune it toward a gradual development of a personal style of action characterized by more freedom and elegance. If you are really interested in Moshe's ideas written in the pesronal, concentrated, somewhat arid style of his younger years, this book will be an exciting addition to your library for many years to come.

This review is from: Body and Mature Behavior: A Study of Anxiety, Sex, Gravitation, and Learning (Paperback)
Every personal trainer should have to study Moshe. There should not be a choice. There is too much information that trainers do not understand and they can learn so much by studying these principles. If you want to seperate yourself from all other trainers read Moshe.
