Having received serious injuries and trying to heal from them, Moshe Feldenkrais unexpectedly realized the deep connection between bodily suffering and mental health. While recovering, he made revolutionary discoveries, culminating in the development of the method that now bears his name. In this book, Feldenkrais delves into neurology, prehistory, child development, gravity and anti-gravity, reflexive and acquired behavior, the influence of emotions, especially anxiety, on posture and, most importantly, the continuity of body and mind.
