Make your training a habit. If you choose a convenient time, you will be able to abide by regular exercises. If you make it difficult, you will soon find a-hundred-and-one alternatives instead. Occasionally break the regularity. Do not make your habit a compulsion. Moshe Feldenkrais

‘Moshe’ on learning is a life gift
Learning is the gift of life. A special kind of learning: that of knowing oneself. (People) learn to know ´how´ they are acting and thus are able to do ´what´ they want. – the intense living of their unavowed and sometimes declared, dreams. Moshe Feldenkrais

‘Moshe’ on teaching
I worked on myself, healing my own knees. I thought I would read up on the structure (of the body) and in that way I would solve the problem myself. I refused to go to the university to learn medicine. I refused to be wired in like everybody else. I said I didn´t mind making my own mistakes but I don´t want to learn by the authority of a know professor. He will convince me because he knows better and in half a year I will lose all my curiosity. Moshe Feldenkrais
‘Moshe’ on habitual mind through movement – sensing perception
I can restructure your mind and all your habits; of thinking, talking – restructure for your sake, not for mine – not that I will teach you that it is right or wrong but to do something to help you to feel more yourself and actually give you the kind of person that you have always dreamt to be. Moshe Feldenkrais
‘Moshe’ on speaking, moving and thinking
Each one of us speaks, moves, thinks and feels in a different way, each according to the image of himself that he has built up over the years. In order to change our mode of action, we must change the image of ourselves that we carry within us.
‘Moshe” on intention of Feldenkrais
The aim is a body that is organized to move with minimum effort and maximum efficiency, not through muscular strength but increased consciousness of how it works.
