What a wonderful thing we are all born with. \u00a0It works without a thought, allowing us to breath, eat and digest, see the world, touch the world, smell the world, help a friend, cry at a funeral, cough when something we eat ends up going in the wrong direction, drive a car, walk down the street, laugh at a funny joke. Except, when it doesn’t. For many of us it seems what should be automatic isn’t working or not the way that seems comfortable. \u00a0How does this happen? \u00a0Why does this happen? \u00a0Could it be because it’s wired in? \u00a0How did it get wired that way? \u00a0Did we have something to do with it? \u00a0Did our friends have something to do with it? \u00a0Did our parents have something to do with it? \u00a0Everything has something to do with it. \u00a0Can it be changed? \u00a0I believe so. \u00a0I believe we can consciously work with what seems so automatic in us. \u00a0I believe we can change many things. \u00a0But, we need not be impatient. \u00a0Things like this take time. \u00a0Moshe Feldenkrais refers to “successive approximations.” \u00a0These are small adjustments. \u00a0We can all make them. \u00a0Can we allow ourselves to see and accept them? \u00a0I believe we can. \u00a0Join me and find out how!! \u00a0Moshe Feldenkrais found out how to make the automatic part of himself work for him. \u00a0With his method we can all do that for ourselves. \u00a0Amazing things can become more, “possible, easy, elegant!”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
