Feldenkrais® & the Five Senses
From The Editors
"More delicate and improved control of movement is possible only through the increase of sensitivity, through a greater ability to sense differences." - Moshe Feldenkrais
In this edition of InTouch, Elinor Silverstein, Raz Ori and David Kaetz each share unique perspectives on the way we use our five senses to bridge our inner and outer worlds and how the Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education can support this process.
In her interview with InTouch editor Joe Webster, Elinor draws on her own personal experience as well as her work with clients to explain how the Feldenkrais Method can support recovery from Covid symptoms related to the senses.
Raz Ori offers a fascinating visual experiment that demonstrates the relationship between the organization of the eyes and mental imagery.
David Kaetz underlines the importance of making a distinction between sensing and conscious attending, which mirrors the difference between the "fixing" approach of most traditional medical approaches to the five senses and the learning model of the Feldenkrais Method.
