Body Awareness as Healing Therapy
The Case of Nora
This is a brilliant case study of a woman who had suffered a severe and debilitating stroke. It is the most extensive account available of Dr. Feldenkrais’ individual work of Functional Integration. The reader is taken on safari through the ‘jungle of the brain’ as Feldenkrais explains how he teaches Nora to regain her ability to walk, to read, and to more fully function in the world once again.
From Body Awareness as Healing Therapy:
“The ability to learn a skill such as right-left orientation needs the childish state of mind, that ability to play while learning, the ability to pay attention, without intending to learn.”

The Potent Self
A Study of Spontaneity and Compulsion
This is a most psychological of all Feldenkrais’ writings as he delves deeply into the relationship between faulty posture, pain, and the underlying emotional mechanisms that lead to compulsive and dependent human behavior. He shares remarkable insights into resistance, motivation, habit formation, and the place of sex in full human potential. The Potent Self offers Feldenkrais’ vision of how to achieve physical and mental wellness through the development of authentic maturity.
From The Potent Self:
“In behavior, what matters in individual cases is not what most people do, nor the statistical average, but the individual personal experience.”
