Insight, Instruction and Challenge, Sep 6 2003
This review is from: Elusive Obvious: Or Basic Feldenkrais (Hardcover)
This book was published in 1981, three years before the master's death. It deals with "simple, fundamental notions of our daily life that through habit become elusive". In his foreword, Moshe says: "The material is new; it is the writer who is older". He tells us: "This book may help you to a happier road in the direction of your individuality...". It is about the "how"s of his technique (both of the individual session and his group lessons), and deliberately not about the "why"s. Some of the topics discussed are: The Human Being as an organism - what do we share with organisms in general and how are we unique? * The unique potential of a really human learning; * A discussion of the biological aspects of posture; * A rare presentation of Moshe's insights about the body patten of anxiety. In his later years Moshe never lost his wit and his legendary perceptiveness. His insight and originality, his many sided life-experience, his deep empathy with his readers, shine more brightly and resonate more deeply than ever.
