About this episode
My guest this week is Jeff Haller, a 40 year veteran Feldenkrais practitioner and trainer of other practitioners.
Jeff Haller chose the Feldenkrais Method over many other professions, including aikido, psychotherapy, and basketball coaching because he believed this method was singular in helping people transcend their history. He's a generous and compassionate teacher.
In this episode you will hear:
- Jeff Haller's professional explorations into basketball coach, aikido, psychotherapy, yoga teacher, taichi, massage therapy, physical therapy.
- The Feldenkrais® Method as 'keystone' learning principles to bring to any other field.
- Feldenkrais' early students were concentration camp survivors.
- "Our neurosis is hidden in our muscular habit".
- How are personalities become associated with our history of self-protection.
- finding the same sense of composure through 45min of Feldenkrais that people seek for years in meditation.
- The amazing lightness of a 'pure' state of being when our compulsive past is set aside.
- Choosing wholeness over our unconscious past.
It's filled to the brim. You might want to listen to this one a few times... :D
