Blagodarja metodu Feldenkrajza Nora pod pristalnym nabljudeniem uchenykh i vrachej smogla zanovo i v sovershenstve osvoit osnovnye navyki, svjazannye s dejstviem: chitat, pisat, khodit i govorit.

Telo i zreloe povedenie - eto osnovopolagajuschaja rabota tvorcheskogo genija Feldenkrajza.

"Neulovimoe ochevidnoe" - odna iz samykh uvlekatelnykh knig Feldenkrajza. Ona napisana v forme besedy-rassuzhdenija, gde issledovanie paradoksa (zakljuchajuschegosja v tom, chto my menshe vsego ponimaem to, chto delaem chasche vsego) okazyvaetsja skoree lejtmotivom; pri etom v samoj knige v tom chisle obobschen rjad drugikh blestjaschikh otkrytij Feldenkrajza, a takzhe pokazano to, kak on razvival svoi zamechatelnye idei lechenija rjada problem, svjazannykh s golovnym mozgom.

Moshe Feldenkrais published Jiu-Jitsu and Self Defense as a training manual for Haganah recruits in 1930. The Haganah was a Jewish paramilitary organization, which sixteen-year-old Moshe Feldenkrais joined at its inception in 1920. Ten years later, this book describing his training method was published based on a decade of field experience.His years of hand-to-hand combat spurred Moshe to write this book that presents his unusual self-defense method. The book is based on all movements of defense, where the first movement is the natural reactive movement that a person does without thinking. He concluded that any effective self-defense system must be based on a person's automatic movements when attacked.Shortly after Jiu-Jitsu and Self Defense was published, Feldenkrais left Tel Aviv to continue his education in Paris, where he met Jigoro Kano, the founder of Judo. After reviewing Jiu-Jitsu and Self Defense, Kano engaged Feldenkrais to co-found the Jiu-Jitsu Club de France.Jiu-Jitsu and Self Defense is the first blossom of Moshe's genius. This book contains the seeds that germinated and, many decades later, grew into the Feldenkrais Method(R).

In 1929, a young Moshe Feldenkrais published his Hebrew translation of the book, The Practice of Autosuggestion by the Method of mile Cou . Feldenkrais not only translated the book but composed and added his own observations in two additional chapters, which are presented here in this monograph. Feldenkrais noted that the work of Cou was primarily focused on resolving problems, and realized that these same ideas could be used proactively to improve one's abilities. Feldenkrais writes, "We will explore this issue and see if we can take it a step forward. Using examples from real life, we will demonstrate that by using autosuggestion we can achieve far superior results rather than merely being in a condition no worse than someone else's." Feldenkrais offers numerous examples of how autosuggestion can enhance abilities and improve performance and concludes that imagination and correct thinking are more effective than willpower. For many years, Autosuggestion was a reference point for Feldenkrais as he continued to develop his work. He mentioned Cou in various aspects of his later publications, including Body and Mature Behavior and Awareness Through Movement. Both of these books are considered milestones in the development of the Feldenkrais Method(R).

A master of movement and the founder of the leading method that bears his name, Moshe Feldenkrais wrote several books about the body and healthy functioning thoughout his life. The Elusive Obvious was his last, and some would say most accessible book. Out of print for many years and still as valid as ever in its insights, this new edition will be treasured by a new generation of somatics practitioners, bodyworkers, dance teachers, and others. The beneficial effects of Awareness through Movement and Functional Integration, the two main strands of what we now call the Feldenkrais Method, are now known to many around the world: greater health and vitality and freedom from pain and anxiety. The Elusive Obvious: Or Basic Feldenkrais presents a thorough explanation of the Feldenkrais Method in the words of its founder, and, as its title indicates, it throws light on the causes of health problems that are hidden in plain sight.

The Feldenkrais Method: Teaching By Handling is a presentation of the system of Functional Integration devised by the Israeli scientist Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais. The Feldenkrais system is a way of handling the body by communicating specific sensations to the central nervous system in order to improve the functions of the motor-system. Functional Integration is unique in that it evokes changes in the human brain at a level heretofore thought unachievable by any known educational technique: muscular tonicity-even spasticity-is actually modified, the range of movement is enhanced, movement becomes more coordinated, and the overall efficiency and comfort of muscular functioning is increased. In The Feldenkrais Method, learn how the author has devised a framework for understanding an immensely subtle and elusive technique for human change.

Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais is best known for pioneering the somatic therapy that bears his name. Less well known is that he was also one of the earliest European practitioners of the martial art of judo and wrote a number of influential texts on the subject. Primary among these is Higher Judo, first published in 1952 and now reprinted with a new foreword that offers useful context and elaborates on Feldenkrais' comprehensive--and still timely--approach to the martial art and to the body. Judo was a natural choice for Feldenkrais's fascination with body/mind exploration and how to promote optimal functioning through awareness. In Higher Judo, he presents judo as the art of using all parts of the body to promote general health, and as part of the "basic culture of the body." He reveals judo's potential for creating a sense of rhythm of movement and improving mental and physical coordination. Higher Judo covers specific movements and positions--the astride position, the six o'clock approach, falling techniques--in both the text and the clear line drawings. Even more importantly, it shows how such groundwork can help practitioners develop their mental and physical awareness to their full potential.

An educational system of neuromuscular re-education known for its gentle approach, the Feldenkrais Method has been shown to dramatically improve individual functioning by increasing self-awareness and facilitating new patterns of thinking, moving, and feeling. Intended for those who need to improve their movement repertoire for professional reasons--dancers, musicians, martial artists, gymnasts, and athletes--as well as those wishing to reduce pain or limitations in movement, Feldenkrais is based on the idea that learning to move better can improve anyone's overall health on many levels.Using Moshe Feldenkrais's own words, Embodied Wisdom clearly explains the basic principles underpinning his techniques, Awareness Through Movement (ATM) and Functional Integration (FI). These thoughtful articles and lively, sometimes humorous interviews explore a diverse range of subjects: the importance of bodily expression, the primacy of hearing, the mind-body connection, martial arts, sleep and consciousness, movement and its effect on the mind. Embodied Wisdom gives readers the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the scientific and spiritual principles behind the Method and offers sound strategies for incorporating it into their lives.

Kroppen & det mogna beteendet är en ingående presentation av Moshe Feldenkrais' mästerliga begåvning vad gäller integrering av kropp och själ, teori och praktik, natur och kultur, frihet och begränsning. Denna klassiker inom somatiskt tänkande är lika relevant i dag som den var visionär då den först publicerades för mer än ett halvt sekel sedan.

I Det starka jaget undersöker Feldenkrais grundligt förhållandet mellan felaktig hållning, smärta och de underliggande emotionella mekanismer som leder till tvångsmässigt beteende och beroende. Han förmedlar viktiga insikter om motstånd, motivation, vanebildning och sexualitetens plats i den potenta människans liv. Hans utgångspunkt är att fysisk rörelse är grunden för förståelse av människans villkor

A victim of debilitating injuries, Moshe Feldenkrais was intimately aware of the link between bodily suffering and mental health. Through healing himself, he made revolutionary discoveries, culminating in the development of the method that now bears his name. In an intellectually rich and eloquent style, Feldenkrais delves into neurology, prehistory, child development, gravity and anti-gravity, reflexive versus learned behavior, the effects of emotion, especially anxiety, on posture, and most importantly, the inseparability of body and mind.

Based in physics, Moshe Feldenkraiss Awareness through Movement helps practitioners extend range of movement and gain relaxation, poise, and balance. Including illustrations, this approachable book provides the underpinnings of his work, with emphasis on emotional and neuromuscular linkages.

Feldenkraismetoden är en pedagogik om hur man lär sig att lära. Det är en inlärningsmetod som bygger på medvetenhet genom rörelse och som ger möjlighet att förbättra kroppslig och mental funktion liksom koncentrationsförmågan. Feldenkraismetoden anknyter till vetenskaper som fysik, biomekanik, biologi och pedagogik.

Moshe Feldenkrais klassiska studie av arbetet med Nora, en kvinna som drabbats av allvarlig stroke och som förlorat sin neuromuskelära koordinationsförmåga liksom förmågan att läsa och skriva. Vi får i detalj följa hans beskrivning av den "trial and error-process" som ledde honom till insikt om vilka behandlingsmetoder som krävdes för att hjälpa Nora att återskapa sin uppmärksamhet, perception, föreställnings- och uppfattningsförmåga.

Body Awareness as Healing Therapy: The Case of Nora is Moshe Feldenkrais' classic study of his work with Nora, a woman who has suffered a severe stroke and lost her neuromuscular coordination, including the ability to read and write. Feldenkrais uses rational and intuitive approaches to help his student relearn basic motor skills. One can observe here the groundwork of Feldenkrais' extraordinary insights which became known as the Feldenkrais Method. We follow his detailed descriptions of the trial and error process which led him to see the ingredients that were needed to help Nora reshape her attention, perception, imagination and cognition.
