Getting Started
Who knows what sparked that first move? Maybe I was procrastinating on the next phase of the ongoing sewing projects. Maybe I wanted the light from the window to be over my shoulder instead of behind my back.
Gently Down the Stream
Part of the magic of coaching and Feldenkrais is that they help us to feel the current, to relax the effort and just float for a while. It’s delicious. Maybe even how we’re meant to be. At least some of the time.

Some of the old stories are tried and true—and still useful. Some of the old stories just don’t work any more. The ones that point fingers, declare who’s right and wrong, make harsh judgements—those are starting to look more harmful than helpful.
