Back in the day “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil,” were those cute little monkeys we would see all over the place.  I just looked these guys up on line and it said something about “moral compass,” next to this image.  Hmmmmmmm??  What’s up with that?  I’m thinking it might be a good idea to “see everything”, “hear everything” and then “do something.”  These day’s the idea of limiting what we see and hear is sort of silly.  And, if we act like the things we don’t feel good about seeing and hearing are non existent then we are just fooling ourselves.  In the Feldenkrais Method it’s all about “more options.”  Options create more possibilities for mobility and function in the moment.  I mean the moment is constantly shifting.  You never know what you will need.  The weather is a great example.  Here around St. Louis sometimes you need a jacket, sometimes an umbrella, sometimes flip flops, sometimes running shoes, sometimes sun glasses, sometimes a hat.  And sometimes that jacket is just plain evil because it is so hot and sticky you don’t want to even carry it around.  So, sometimes you need a back pack to carry it in.  And, maybe that’s even too hot.  With more options we can make better choices.  So, if we see and hear more things we can decide what works for a given moment.  The Feldenkrais Method (R) teaches us where we have options that we might not be so aware of.  It teaches this through how we sense and use our own bodies.  It makes movement easier and more comfortable and teaches us ways of functioning that make us feel better.  My new mantra is going to be…….”Feel Better, Be Better, Do Better.”  Join me for an Awareness Through Movement Class or an individual Functional Integration Lesson.  You just might learn some new options!        See you soon!  Sandy
