I am (sometimes painfully) aware that my structure is changing as I age. This program is helping me get to know myself all over again, and giving me lots of tools to clarify this new me and what I need now. I can see that it will help me age well into the future.

Carol’s use of movement and voice as a teaching tool—wow! It’s brilliant! Watching her move, and hearing her whoops and wordsongs created a 3-D experience of the material, making it so alive in me. I don’t think I’ve ever learned this way before, and I love it.

It is so reassuring to have access to Carol’s PT knowledge as a way of supporting the exploratory style of BFL learnings. It is powerful to learn through all these various handles.

Thank you! I am so grateful that you brought this material to Phoenix—otherwise I just wouldn’t be able to access it—and it is life altering.—Colette Claude, CBT, Prescott, AZ

Interested in expanding your knowledge of this impressive holistic practice.  Please check out our training schedule -> http://bit.ly/bfltraining

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness.

God is the friend of silence.

See how nature trees, flowers, grass grows in silence;

see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...

We need silence to be able to touch souls.

~Mother Teresa

Michael Dowd, evolutionary evangelist, gives us a peak at three important new books on the topic of human cooperation.

"The most profound insight in the history of humankind is that we should seek to live in accord with reality. Indeed, living in harmony with reality may be accepted as a formal definition of wisdom. If we live at odds with reality (foolishly), then we will be doomed, but if live in right relationship with reality (wisely), then we shall be saved. Humans everywhere, and at all times, have had at least a tacit understanding of this fundamental principle. What we are less in agreement about is how we should think about reality and what we should do to bring ourselves into harmony with it."

2012 The Trimph of Multi-Level Selection Theory and a Renewed Appreciate of the Role of Cooperation in Human Cultural Evolution

Dowd may need some help on creating people- and search engine-friendly blog titles (but who am I to cast that stone), yet despite the cumbersome title, worth a peek. Dowd is most worth following if you struggle to place Christianity in the integral model or to make peace between science and religion.  Or perhaps you are just looking for a compadre in your own evolving beliefs and thinking.

This is Part 1 of 3 by performer Andrew Dawson on the artistry and power of the hand, particularly in the face of impairment.

Beautifully done.  So worth a watch and then the tease for Parts 2 and 3.  Dawson recently posted that Part 3 includes a Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lesson for the hand!

I am deeply moved by this quote and also find it easy to stay at the surface of it. 

"Find your true weakness and surrender to it. Therein lies the path to genius. Most people spend their lives using their strengths to overcome or cover up their weaknesses.

Those few who use their strengths to incorporate their weaknesses, who don't divide themselves, those people are very rare. In any generation there are a few and they lead their generation."   ~ Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais

How can we use this concept? What does it mean to you?

4   Think of the human body with all its manifold divisions. Which part of it does a man love best? Does he treat them all with equal affection, or does he have favorites? Don’t they all serve him equally? And do these servants then govern themselves, or are they subdivided into rulers and subjects? Surely there is some thing in charge that rules them all.

    But whether or not we ascertain its functions matters little to the thing itself. For coming into existence with my mortal body, its mandate will also terminate with the exhaustion of my body. To be harassed by the wear and tear of life, and to pass rapidly through it without possibility of arresting one’s course—is not this pitiful indeed? To labor without ceasing, and then, worn out and not living to enjoy the fruit, to depart, suddenly, to one knows not where—is not that a just cause for grief ?
