 Body
Awareness as Healing Therapy, The Case of Nora by Moshe
FeldenKrais.
I got this book because it sounded germane to my study,
but it didn't have much to offer me, as it discussed a woman
whose problem wasn't that her sense of embodiment was hindered,.
Her was challenge was learning again how to read and write.
I like this thought though:
"When I am presented with a trouble in function, I make a special effort
not to think in words. I try not to think logically and in correctly formed sentences. I
imagine the relevant nervous structures by seeing them with my mind’s eye.
I imagine a part which produces a flow of liquid. Part of the travel of the fluid
is electrical, then becomes chemical, and again electrical. After many transformations,
the flow will end in a muscular contraction, and the muscular play will result
in some apparent outside action involving the body, or parts of it, that will
affect or transform the immediate environment."
This resonates for me because it relates
perfectly to what I understand as Gendlin's felt sense.
