Based on ample research in Moshe Feldenkrais's writings and lessons, the book clarifies the principles of the method governing healing and transformation, by showing how it revivifies patterns of movement, their sensorial layers, and the self-image.
The book offers a theory of the power of healing and change inherent in the method, and at the same time, a practice of the theory by examining exemplary lessons that stage the principles of change of the embodied self. The book also maps out a scientific basis for the method and its application in the process of transformation.
- The Feldenkrais Method: Power of Self-Transformation by Abraham Mansbach is must reading for every Feldenkrais Practitioner. I feel that it is an important book, and will raise the level of discourse about Moshe Feldenkrais's work. Dr. Mansbach's insights offer us valuable perspectives and practices.
