The external world is a "rich reality" -- offering a far wider menu of possibilities than most of us realize.

| Article | "The Somatic Dimensions of Emotional Healing" We have a contemporary myth that body and mind are separate, but the bodymind is really an integrated system. This 10,000 word illustrated article explores the way that system experiences emotion as both a somatic and a psychological process. It examines the effects of emotional trauma on the bodymind, and looks at how that trauma can be healed somatically as well as psychologically. [12pp illus.] | $3 Buy It |

| Tape 501 | A Feldenkrais Perspective on Human Limitation The medical model focuses primarily on structural conditions, while the Feldenkrais Methodfocuses instead on learned responses to those conditions. Dysfunction and limitation often result more from learned responses than from the underlying condition. Thus the Feldenkrais Method can often bring about functional improvement even in the presence of chronic medical conditions. | $10.00 Buy It |
| Tape 503 | Holding Pain in the Body Examines the impact of sexual abuse and other emotional traumas on the bodymind system, and the physical dysfunctions and limitations they produce. Intimate interconnections between the physical and the emotional require that both body and mind heal together. The use of Feldenkrais Functional Integration as a tool to facilitate this healing process is discussed. | $10.00 Buy It |

Students often experience immediate improvements in posture, lightness of movement, and reduction or elimination of chronic discomforts. Each tape contains two related lessons.
