I’ve been wondering about the word organization in relation to the human body, as its a word frequently used in the Feldenkrais Method.

We need to be prepared to move slow enough to be able to sense what we do. Slowing down means we can become more sensitive to the way in which we are moving – how much force are we using, is it comfortable, does it feel pleasurable, is it interesting, how might we be even more […]
