Feldenkrais Method - learning by sensation, not by names By gaugin1903 „Jede unserer Erkenntnisse beginnt bei den Sinnen." „Wenn ich auch nicht, wie sie, Autoren anzuführen weiß, so ist es doch weit größer und des Lesens würdiger, die Erfahrung, die Lehrmeisterin ihrer Lehrmeister, anzuführen." „Sie werden Sagen, ich könne, da mir die lateinische Gelehrsamkeit fehle, nicht gut sagen, was ich behandeln möchte. Aber sie wissen nicht, dass das, was ich zu sagen habe, nicht von den Worten anderer kommt, sondern aus der Erfahrung entsteht, welche die Lehrmeisterin dessen war, der gut geschrieben hat, und sie soll auch meine Lehrmeisterin sein, und sie werde ich bei allen Fällen anführen." Leonardo da Vinci „Deshalb verweilt der Weise bei allem, was er tut, im Nicht-Tun und Lehrt nicht durch Worte." Lao Tse, Tao-Te-King, aus dem Spruch 2 „Ein Denken, das hauptsächlich in Wörtern vor sich geht, schöpft nicht Stoff aus den evolutionsmäßig älteren Strukturen des Gehirns, die mit dem Gefühl eng verbunden sind. Schöpferisches, spontanes Denken muß eine Verbindung zu den älteren Gehirnstrukturen unterhalten. Abstraktes Denken, das nicht von Zeit zu Zeit seine Nahrung aus tieferliegenden Quellen im Innern schöpft, wird zum Wörterfabrikat ohne menschlichen Inhalt. Es gibt Bücher auf allen Gebieten -- Kunst und Wissenschaft, Dichtung, Geschichte, Philosophie usw. --, die ihren Lesern kaum mehr zu bieten haben als logisch geknüpfte Folgen von Wörtern, deren Sinn nur ein bares Minimum an Wirklichkeit -- und sie ist es, die wir auch »menschlichen Inhalt« nannten -- entspricht. . . Die Folgerung, daß harmonische Entwicklung wünschenswert sei, scheint banal genug. So lange wir nur die Abstraktionen, nämlich die Begriffe und die logische Form dieses Satzes betrachten, bleibt er vom »ganzen Menschen« ebenso losgelöst wie jede andere logische Aussage und ebenso bedeutungslos für die Praxis. Und dieser platte Satz wird nur dann zu einer förmlich sprudelnden Quelle von Formen, Figuren, und Bezügen werden, die neue Kombinationen und Entdeckungen ermöglichen, wenn ich von seinem Sinn meine Gefühle, Sinne und meine Vorstellungskraft reizen lasse, das heißt: wenn ich in Bildern denke, in meinen mir eigentümlichen geistigen Kombinationen. Diese gilt es in Wörter und in Worte zu kleiden, wenn einer nicht bloß mit dem anderen reden, sondern ihn ansprechen will." (Moshe Feldenkrais, Bewußtheit durch Bewegung) „Ein Netz ist dazu da, Fische zu fangen. Laßt uns die Fische behalten und das Netz vergessen. Worte sind dazu da, Gedanken zu vermitteln. Laßt uns die Gedanken behalten und die Worte vergessen. Welch ein Vergnügen, mit jemanden zu reden, der die Worte vergessen hat."

Feldenkrais on correcting and his Method (part 2) By gaugin1903 This video sequence with the previous and the following one belong to a lecture of Moshe Feldenkrais in his training program in Amherst in 1981. They clarify for me, and I hope also for others, one of the many reasons why trainees in guild-accredited Feldenkrais Trainings since 1985 are brought to a state in which they feel awkward, clumsy and insecure instead of enthusiastic and full of inspiration when it comes to practicing what they have learned. They have been taught what is "right" and what is "wrong," instead of being given the opportunity to experience as many lectures and lessons of Moshe Feldenkrais as possible. We own a treasure of unprecedented "live" demonstration of original thought processes but trainees often receive only a part of the information, the part that has been digested or ill-digested by their teachers. Therefore, not having been exposed to the teaching of Moshe Feldenkrais himself, trainees take at face value any utterance of their trainers. Remaining insecure even after graduation they feel that they have to visit advanced trainings, one after another, with as many different trainers as possible, in order to learn one or another additional trick or technique. Most of those are quickly forgotten and the insecurity continues to grow despite considerable financial investment. As of late even the guilds acknowledge the above shortcomings and have gone as far as to require continuing postgraduate trainings a certain number of days per year in order to confer a "certificate of competency." This reflects no more than accepted proof - but no remedy - that accredited trainings are no guaranty for competency in the practice of the Feldenkrais Method. A very long time before Moshe Feldenkrais, the old sages of China as well as Leonardo da Vinci, to name only two of many possible examples, have recognized that only through practical experience it is possible to come to real understanding - the same approach that Moshe Feldenkrais consistently applied in his work, his teaching and the development of his method. Moshe's favorite Chinese saying that he liked to quote: I hear and forget I see and remember I do and understand The next two quotations from Leonardo da Vinci confirm the decisive role played by the experience through senses for our cognitive ability: "All our knowledge has its origins in our perceptions." "Many think they would have the right to rebuke me on the pretext that my proof contradicts some authors . . . as they do not consider that all that I know comes from the one, simple experience, the true master. This rule helps you to distinguish the truth from the untruth. . . " Moshe Feldenkrais said very often about his teaching: „I do not correct, nor do I heal or teach. I simply create the conditions for learning." Precisely these conditions for learning are what have been missing in the trainings since Feldenkrais death. It appears that the rich, informative material Moshe allowed his students to experience has turned into a competitive danger for his pupils and their pupils. Any kind of correction, when the teaching is such that trainees will not be able to make for themselves a clear picture, a logical overview of what is in fact spoken, will always increase the insecurity, the fear of not being up to the task of a Feldenkrais practitioner. This state of affairs creates, as Feldenkrais says in his lecture, a problem for life. This problem appears to have become a "business for life" of those who always know "better." Despite Moshe's admonition, they keep correcting no matter what or how insignificant is the affliction of the client or the "mistake" made by the trainee during training. It's the business of seeing the trees before acknowledging the forest. These corrections are delivered in most of the cases with an aloof kindness, perhaps with the goal of avoiding any kind of resistance whose origin lies in the critical reflection and thinking on the relevance and validity of the so called corrections. It springs from the trainer's own remaining insecurity vis-a-vis the radical but at the same time simple and not even new basic theory behind the Feldenkrais Method as well as from fear of losing credibility.
