Parasitic movement

Moshe Feldenkrais coined the word ‘parasitic movement’ to describe movement that a person does that interferes with our intended movement or function. We all do parasitic movements all the time and we are not aware that we are doing them.  If we were aware of them we wouldn’t do them because they create resistance, excess effort and in most cases pain. 

When we gradually peel away these parasitic movements by bringing awareness to them,  our actions become easier, more elegant and we can perform at a much higher level of achievement.  If that sounds appealing, it should. Who doesn’t want to reclaim our youthful easy movement and find all the possibility that lies in expanded awareness.  It is there for everyone; underneath all our habitual parasitic actions!

National Feldenkrais Week

May 4-10 is National Feldenkrais week and all across the world people are teaching one of his movement lessons called 'On back twisting spine with head fixed'.  This recording was done by Sandra Bradshaw who is a Feldenkrais Practitioner in Kelowna, BC, Canada.  Give yourself a treat and do this lesson.  You need 20 minutes and a quiet place on the floor where you can lie down and listen to this recording and then follow along with the instructions of the lesson.
