“Nobody is standing there saying, ‘No,
no, no, you’re doing that wrong.’ Olivia’s
positive feedback is a wonderful incentive for learning.”
—Kaaren Grimstad, university professor
“You listen between the lines. So I started
to value my thoughts a little more because I felt heard.
And that gave me the sense that maybe I should start
to listen to myself.” —Rebecca Strauss,
subject of ‘Soul Survivor’
Empathy has a lot to do with how Feldenkrais and Leadership Embodiment students are asked to relate to themselves, and with how I approach them. If the self-talk going on in your head is punishing, or the messaging from your inner teacher is pushy, you will not feel enough freedom to experiment. Watch a crawling baby's ease of exploration and you will have an inkling of Feldenkrais in action. Learning to center and shift your brain under pressure from a reactive fight/flight/freeze state to the zone or "flow" state is what Leadership Embodiment is all about.
