Refining Walking - Discovering New Steps

 

How to discover new steps? Certainly paying attention to how we balance in each step is helpful as in practicing tai chi. We feel strongly that exploring the components of walking in many varied patterns and off our feet through Feldenkrais can quickly open new possibilities. So we invite you to experience how theses two approaches nourish each other to clarify awareness and seek dynamic balance- equilibrium within motion.

 

It is fortunate that many of our actions succeed without our directed attention. However what prevents us from doing what we want? We must know our intention, where we are starting from, in what direction we wish to go and what we are doing. Only occasionally we have glimpses of how our own habits and attitudes get in our way. In Feldenkrais as well as in tai chi we observe ourselves in unfamiliar movements. We act slowly and seek minimal effort to improve the integrity of any action, to include more in our attention.  What was glimpsed occasionally is understood and becomes refined. We begin by sensing how the quality of our movement changes. The process of attending to the whole in small actions cultivates the intelligence of integrated action. Our interest is in responding with the whole of ourselves so when one part moves everything moves in harmony.

Both traditions begin from where we are rather than from doing or being what someone considers better. In tai chi the practice of sensing slow, relaxed, flowing movement and the rhythm of our breathing cultivates ease and confidence.  Cultivating awareness of how we breathe and the relation between breathing and the rhythm of movement will ease our walking. The Feldenkrais Method offers conditions where we can learn how we obstruct or confuse our natural ability to move and balance and so free our walking.
