“The excellence of people is based on the image they have created of themselves.
Awareness, one’s ability to change one’s image is the same as one’s ability to change oneself”.
Dr Moshé Feldenkrais
We work with your potential. You cannot avoid or get rid of moving in the most convenient way, knowing from the beginning where the movement will take you or where it should be. You can, however, and only seemingly, ignore what is. With other words, awareness of yourself, has created an image of your life. This image differs from atom to atom. Practices change the axis of the body with pleasant intention or the axis of the head changes from the awareness of the right way. Ideally, awareness should be his guide and he himself should be able to be different and unique so that he can be transformed through it.
What does it mean to be able to adapt; What is the purpose; If someone has a specific problem that needs to be or is someone else, that examines himself to adjust to this environment and wants to be himself. It should become what it feels or be what it seeks. This is because, and only seemingly, it ignores what is. With other words, every liturgy works with his self-image, which has created throughout his life. This image differs from atom to atom. Practices change the axis of the body with pleasant intention or the axis of the head changes from the awareness of the right way. Ideally, awareness should be his guide and he himself should be able to be different and unique so that he can be transformed through it.
As a bath, people are supposed to be what they expect from themselves, but in the wider context it is not effective. Because; Because they betray their atomicity, the way they fail, intended or not. The atom is supposed to bring himself to the point of realizing that he is in a true living condition, that if he wants to be and to be as he wants in this way he can love himself, his habits, his face, his body and his actions, as he is.
Because he cannot reject anything. He cannot reject other things, only another face. Our atom is compared to those we have and in this atom we pass on the greatest potential to be transformed. As for the child, who when he is young has characteristics that are safe, great, adaptable and profitable distinctive characteristics. All of these are very different from each other.
One goal is to be able to transform through, removing from himself all the restorative paragraphs that prevent his transformation. These restorations are those that prevent the right or wrong dialogue break one another that the stigma that breaks the power of people to correct more towards the idea that it is good to be what they want to be. With other words, to seek to love the elements of his self that for him are not, even with the desire to be effective to do what is new for everything.
Because he cannot reject anything. He cannot reject other things, only another face. Our atom is compared to those we have and in this atom we pass on the greatest potential to be transformed.
Who are we; What does it mean; What does it take to be; If we examine what one atom within is, we need to separate its actions into different categories. One category is movement. Select movements with your body, with your eyes. The next category is the senses. It means how it has senses. With these it feels, hears, sees, smells, tastes. It is good to change things. To feel himself in the space with the right way through the movement. The third category is feelings. It can be sad, happy, angry, worried, alive, helpless. It can feel his self better or worse. The goal has its shapes. Consequently, the categories of action are movement, sensation, feeling and shape.
If we look at these different actions, we realize that one is with the other. It is impossible to separate one movement from not being connected with some sensation or some feeling or some shape, and vice versa. It does not exist feeling that is not connected with a specific movement or state of the body. As and if it happens, all these are connected between them: movement, sensation, feeling and shape.
Now, what happens with the atom that awareness can create; It is difficult, but not so much if we work with methods that are based on information that helps us protect. Under these conditions of these categories of action, one individual should be more skilled, with the best senses, with the most beautiful body in the world, with the best body. This is because, because it may take a third atom in the life of one generation. What happens with these underlying people;
The underlying people should live with what they feel. Consequently, with this that he has, it is possible to transform and connect with the way that one atom feels about his self that lives a common life.
When we feel this, we have everything with the best way. This belongs to the person absolute identification. With other words, it begins to live a common life. Because this is what the significant categories of action should be interconnected, with different levels for each of these.
What are these different levels; Physically, the person should bring this to his self. It is necessary for people to give the power to distinguish this. Now, the first thing that should happen is how the shape is like new for the person. It does not happen as it happens in other lives, to peers or to first-born people. And these feel like, but to connect with the shape of Einstein, Beethoven, Bertrand Russell, or whoever else from us is against the connection of the mathematical identity of one beginning with this one measure of man.
In the feelings people are absolute prevented. They are prevented because their shape betrays them. This new shape in the person betrays the feelings. If one chooses one can betray that the surrounding people do not allow their selves to feel what practically feel. The stigma that the truth gives in one feeling, panic-stricken or worried. Shapes: It is not good. It should be as they should be.
In the feelings people are absolute prevented. They are prevented because their shape betrays them. This new shape in the person betrays the feelings.
Through this procedure, they are called to learn some imitation, because without this they are not able to be in the crowd. This means how the person feels, is imposed on his self a foreign form, detached from all others – parents, mother, teacher or lover. The awareness creates one caricature of his self and in the end it means how, that he cannot be, because he cannot. He does not feel full. He does not know where to separate what he feels.
The awareness that this offers many times during the course of movement. There are some differences that exist in the other. And in the feeling the actions are completely different. It is so bad because there is no space for what he wants to seek, or in school, or in the house. You cannot sketch it. You cannot differentiate for this. What differentiates for this;
The stigma that the atom betrays in this way, wants the feelings of him to be the same in his face, he cannot impose in life. What he cannot differentiate. Seeks to be as for two years and after he is rejected: It is not different. What is different; It will not be able to cut it, as and if it can. As to leave. He will go as another. And in the end it is a sign.
Only those who trust in the hands of a psychotherapist that deserves it (and these to whom it deserves to go can be one in a thousand) remove some of this mud, imposed on the atom to emphasize little-much in this space of his, as and in all others. This we call therapy.
If it succeeds, it is full therapy. With other words, they take a person that does not break his self – he cannot agree with what his self emphasizes and what he imposes on his self – and the organ that is about to be able to reject what his self emphasizes, so that it does not differ much from the distorted figures that roam the world around him. That is called healthy atom – with other words, one measure, distorted as all of us.
Sketch what we are, where we live, where we have grown up the misery of humanity, where among one peace and the next we live with these fears, with these differences. What happens to the child. If we talk about this, because it should have many good first. This generation of ours begins to be born as so many people condemn and connect with different ways and different processes, that lead to the same conclusions. This is a matter with which the person can agree. It is good that we agree, but what do we need to be for this;
Sketch what we are, where we live, where we have grown up the misery of humanity, where among one peace and the next we live with these fears, with these differences.
First of all, we hope that we live with an image that we have created for our selves. This image is not what practically we want to be. If one looks at one human being and asks him: Are you in tune with your self; Are you in tune with where you are; Do you love and are in tune with all your actions; Do you believe that you energize your greatness, your greatest happiness; Do you want your self to live the life;.
They will realize that out of one thousand they cannot answer that the surrounding practices of their lives – all their senses, the feelings and the shapes – that for all these they may be: This is the best that I can be. If I live well, I will easily take the ideas that I can and now.
They will not find out that out of one thousand that will agree with this. But, out of one measure does not know what to be in order to change this the situation. And physically, the greatest practices are all over. It is so all that is difficult to do. They will seek out from what is a lot: the autoeikon.
There is the kinetic image, the sensory image, the emotional image and the image shape. The holistic approach of all these children is work of life. But, for our good luck, we are fitted with this way, that is around to be what we are, because these different categories of action are interlinked.
Finally, if in one of these categories the atom fails to analyze some of the expressions that his self, expressions that is not his self, or what he wants to be, if he fails to analyze what practically is and to distinguish what is what he wants, that the shapes, the senses, the feelings and the underlying actions that will try to make a generation.
In the end, in some cases, it is difficult to give the power for transformation. In the bath that the transformation is achieved and is achieved in all these children, it should to the atom to move towards the direction that he wants for his self. This is very important, under the condition that the atom knows how he is excelling, how he is developing, and also how he is therapeutic.
There is no problem of therapy here. Therapy means to focus on one situation that has been installed. The psychotherapist who works with a person that does not turn to the situation that is broken first. The help to be extracted these ideas and these shapes that throughout the course of his excellence have been answered with convenient way, the combined belief or the pressure towards other categories. This means that the atom is separated from the feelings of him, separating them, cutting them, without first to have them cleaned and without to agree with the epidemic allergy. This is the greatest difficulty.
We try these differences in the body, of them. The surrounding people read and feel: That it is not good with my feet, my eyes, my breath, my step, my sexual organs, my stomach. I do not want this to happen. I do not move and I do not decide what will happen. The way with which the people are sketched inside me is not what I desire. This is what we want first with the body. Because in this foot we can learn for all. It is possible to correct the autoeikon.
The moment we notice these disturbances in the body image and distinguish them, there is no need to do anything to improve it. The natural tendency of all living beings is to go in the direction that helps them, and which makes them feel better.
In all races, in places far removed from civilization, there is culture and advancement from generation to the next; progress in the social direction, the direction of community life, of helping each other, without necessarily suppressing the original part of us. There is no need for oppression. If you do not disturb a person, they will become what they are. From a young age people are fundamentally good, not bad, as has been written by religions and other people.
The approach is that every person, when he wants to bring his self, feels more comfortable and with himself and with all others. Every time that wants something that has differences, this gets better his self, gets better with his self and all others.
They will try to give us the power to see the practical image of us, the way, even good-looking, has been disturbed from the ignorance of all humanity. If it prevents the person from what he wants to be practical people. It begins to seek out from the correction of the somatic image. They will try to seek out with this way, so that they can distinguish what is.
