What Creates Change?

What Creates Change?

Change happens best when you take action instead of waiting for something to affect it. You are the one you are waiting for to create that change; focus on allowing change to be small increments so you can begin integrating the new experience.

This thought occurred to me while pondering my trip to return to the Ann Arbor One training program this week. Each trainee is in a different place than when I was with them last. They have had time to sit with their learning and allow subtle and yet significant changes to integrate. This has given them more options than they had prior to beginning their training, and I’m looking forward to noticing their progress.

You, like me also have been changing and hopefully for the better. Looking forward to what these changes bring is exciting. Be in the moment to allow new experiences to awaken you.

This week, the Ann Arbor Feldenkrais Training Program is meeting for hands-on classes. This is the third year of the four-year program, which will result in the students becoming Feldenkrais Practitioners. Through the teachings of Raz Ori, the Educational Director of Ann Arbor One, the class will work at a higher level of competency.

Ten years ago, I fulfilled the requirements of becoming a Guild Certified Assistant Trainer of The Feldenkrais Method. I will be providing many Functional Integrations (FI)® sessions throughout each day of the 2-week training. It’s gratifying because these brains are turned on and are refining their techniques.

I decided during this 2-week hiatus from my regular practice of Awareness Through Movement (ATM)® lessons and FI, it’s best to listen. I’ve decided to pause my weekly newsletter until my return at the end of the 1st week of June. I’ll return with so many new experiences that I’m sure will awaken more change.

“The lessons are designed to improve ability, that is, to expand the boundaries of the possible, to turn the impossible into the possible, the difficult into the easy, and the easy into the pleasant. For only those activities that are easy and pleasant will become part of a person’s habitual life and will serve them at all times.” – Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais

Be curious, ask better questions if the questions you’re asking yourself are not offering you better solutions. No judgment, simple inquiries and notice, from any need, allow this to trigger your curiosity to make things better. Start small and slow, exploring movement to make comparisons. Change will begin to happen, and you’ll affect your results.

You can visit my YouTube channel for more lessons, all free! to play and enjoy the sense of more ease and comfort. Remember, if it’s easy, it’s efficient!

I hope I’ve earned the privilege of your time and attention this week, and look forward to reconnecting as I return to my practice on June 8th. While I’m away, if you have any questions or inquiries, please feel free to reach out as I respond to those curious and interested right away.

Warmest,
