In order to arrive at the right movement, it is first necessary to think of a better movement rather than the right, the right movement has no future development, the latter can be improved – the right remains the limit forever.

‘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.

‘Moshe’ on cultural and racial attitude development
“An immense field for inquiry is opened once the organic ties of social orientation are followed up into muscle, nerve and skeleton. Not only individual development or abnormality can be followed through the soma but ever wider cultural and racial attitude development.” Moshe Feldenkrais
‘Moshe’ on changing your habits and creating a new experience
A human being is like a computer that is capable of thousands of things. But we put in a card that only lets it do one thing. Until you change the card, that is all the computer will do: that one thing, over and over and over. That is the state in which we function and we believe that no other cards exist, that this card is the one and only card that we can function upon. I say that the difference between human beings and machines is that we make the cards. So, when one card doesn´t work, take it out and put in a new card. ‘Moshe Feldenkrais’
