Healing Quest: Feldenkrais Achieves What Medicine Could Not

[NeoZen888]

Inspiring video! Very touching at the end when the father said "Dr. Feldenkrais said she would dance at her wedding." She looks like she is coming along fine and doing great.

This is fascinating and one of the best, most demonstrative videos on the subject. I've got nerve damage due to an idiotic choice to jump off a 50-foot cliff; the impact hitting the water crushed my spinal nerve and now I've got a drop foot, awkward gait and lots of pain. I'm going to pursue this and hope for lots of good to come from it.

This kind of healing definitely works. It is amazing. I've done some reiki and light axis healing and they were good for me as well.

[RachelEMacD]

That is wonderful that Anat's been able to help Elizabeth so much! I wonder if the Feldenkrais method works after car accidents and long term physical illness. Does anyone know?

[silona]

@RachelEMacD yes it does. it helped me after I was injured. I was prescribed 6 months of physical therapy and instead was able to abandon my cane in 2 weeks. The PT I was seeing were amazed considering I still hadn't regained all my muscle mass. I obviously continued until all healed. now that leg is stronger

Inspiring.

[mananirvana]

Elizabeth looks like such a great girl! :)

Its always amazing to see what the brain is capable of doing, and now the body too. 

[stonetop]

So they consistently get these results from people with her medical condition?

"If you want to increase in the life of God, then you must settle it in

your heart that you will not at any time resist the Holy Spirit. The Holy Ghost and fire

- the fire burning up everything that would impoverish and destroy you."

[MrJonathanSarkos]

Moshe Feldenkreis, Wilhelm Reich, Alexander Lowen, Milton Erickson, Ida Rolf - all of them pure geniuses

This video made me smile ;⊃

Whenever I want to show people the power of this method, I give them this link.

Feldenkrais is about much more than physical therapy, kinesiology or offsetting of external body forces, it's about development and transformation of the brain/self.

That's why some people consider it a spiritual practice, because it facilitates self-development.

When Moshe was asked whos work he considered most like his own, he replied "Milton Ericson". Ericson was a psychiatrist who did psychotherapy.

[fireemblem1992]

Wow, this is brilliant! :O

[Peekingduck]

Feldenkrais is awesome.

just love it.

[capricious71]

Feldenkrais is not a "spiritual bullshit practice".

[NirvanaOnEarth90]

wow

[rcoldman]

You can take a child who's been written off by mainstream medicine and is expected to live life as a vegetable, and help that child learn to do everything that "normal people" do and much more, e.g. enjoy and appreciate that ability .. but clearly you can't please everyone. Those of you who find this truly inspiring I greet as kindred spirits.

How can one say that. Has inability of movement been a prt of one's life? If not then any movement no matter how small is a miracle. Too many times the medical profession resorts back to old fashioned practice instead of new and alternative practices. Tsch, Tsch...

[PathBuilding]

This process is more physical therapy than spiritual healing. There are cogno-centric functions associated with repetitive motion that if repeated form new patterns in brain activity. I've worked for years with physically challenged folks who have had incredible transformations through physical therapy and positive sports-related interaction (adaptive skiing). Miracles happen at the smallest levels and can change lives forever.

[IAmNotNico]

what exactly does feldenkrais even have to do with spirituality?

[CleanYourAuraSpray]

That was amazing, thank you for sharing.

[NLPClarity]

Richard Bandler, the father of NLP *Neuro-Linguistic Programming was friends with Feldenkreis and Richard once told me Moshe was a genius

As an NLP trainer, I understand the mind-body programming and neuro pathway possibilities. Anything is possible.

[psychonautx26s]

That's the same principle as yoga, basically. Neat, thanks for sharing.

[longded]

Great work postie!

Thanks!

[smartestmanalive101]

thats really amazing

[Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay]

Well how inspiring...

[sparklehouse]

deeply moving

[palcsi]

Thank you for this inspiring story.

[Custodydoc]

Looks like a wonderful way of utilizing natural bodily structure to offset the external forces that would trigger improper utilization of muscular and neurological functioning that would harmonize the body -mind connection and vice a versa.

[poetslife]

That's a wonderful presentation of the possibilities of the Feldenkrais Method. I take an Awareness Through Movement lesson each Monday in Mount Airy, MD from a Feldenkrais Guild member, Carl Minkel. I'm 52 and it has done wonders for me healing old sports injuries and healing and then preventing lower back pain that used to lock me up.

[lospracticantes]

its a beaty and useful method to do, specialy for future kinesiologist, like me ^^

[gemican]

What a wonderful story.
