Dear You,
it might not be the best idea to start writing a post every day at a time when we prepare for the Christmas festivities...
Above you see something I do very diligently:
almost every day I do my Feldenkrais exercises. I have 4 CDs, (back, legs and feet, neck and face, posture) and each one I choose takes roughly about 1 hour.
I do that because since a year (or more) some little pains nag in my back, or my knee, or my neck.
And Feldenkrais really, really helps!
As I don't have much free time at the moment, I gave up the 30 minutes of meditation, because, as I do that at midday on my bed meditation often turned into a "power"nap :-) - and though I set the alarm on my cellphone, I often came back to this world feeling a bit grumpy.
So I substituted it (at the moment) by the Feldenkrais exercises - and feel fit and glow with satisfaction.
And my body and soul are happy.
Perfect timing Britta!
ReplyDeleteI have read so much about Feldenkrais' life, theories and practices in the last two months, I hoped I would understand his thinking. Especially since I read his papers in English!
But it was a bit too spiritual for me and not scientific enough.
Dear Helen, I read a little bit about Feldenkrais' theories - they are too mystic for me too.
DeleteI only do use the practical part: wonderful slow exercises and movements for spine, back, joints etc. They really do help me, my orthopaedist was very astonished (and then convinced!).
It helps me - personally - more than exercises with a physiotherapist - and has the great advantage that I can do it at home whenever I want.
