The healthy person has a fuller and more gratifying sexual life than the compulsive person. And a healthy sex drive does not become that constsant nagging feeling familiar to many, that absorbs the entire personality through the waking and sleeping life. The ability to spontaneously mobilize the all one's abilities for the task at hand is normally enjoyed by those who are also capable of full sexual gratification. The aim of this book is to give the reader the means of acheiving such a satisfying self-realization that the problem of sex should recede from the central position which it now occupies to the place where it belongs--a cardinal and honorable place in its own time, but not all the time. Ich kann nicht sagen, dass ich jedes Detail des Textes verstanden habe. Aber den Grundgedanken meine ich schon verstanden zu haben. Wir gebrauchen unseren Körper nicht auf die bestmögliche Weise. Wir bewegen uns falsch. An den Bewegungen sind immer mehr Muskeln beteiligt, als nötig wären. Das leuchtet mir auch sofort ein, wie oft macht man eine Bewegung und wenn man sich selbst genau beobachtet, merkt man, dass man zum Beispiel auch Muskeln anspannt, die gar nicht für diese Bewegung nötig sind. Wenn alles klappt, habe ich nächste Woche ein dreitägiges Feldenkraisseminar, danach bin ich hoffentlich schlauer. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Moshe Feldenkrais, D.Sc., a visionary scientist who pioneered the field of mind-body education and therapy, has inspired countless people worldwide. His ability to translate his theories on human function into action resulted in the creation of his technique, now known as the Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education. In The Potent Self, Feldenkrais 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. This edition includes and extensive Forward by Mark Reese, a longtime student of Feldenkrais, in which Reese discusses many of the important ideas in the book and places them in the context of Feldenkrais' life and the intellectual and historical milieu of his time.

moreover while feldenkrais offers a sustained criticism of contemporary euro-american culture, or at least a white middle-class variety thereof, he fails to meaningfully extend this critique to any concrete institutions beyond the self. this renders the critique somewhat impotent--able to identify "problems" around the self, and dissect them somewhat, but unable to expand one's understanding of reality by extension beyond the fictitious self
despite all this, feldenkrais offers a coherent, precise, and insightful account of how social embedding continuously influences the mind-body, and how our current situation (vis-a-vis culture or oneself) is strictly path-dependent ( )
