The Feldenkrais method is based on simple, yet counter intuitive idea that increasing awareness of natural movement is an effective way to create positive change in persons mind and body state. It's counterintuitive because we conditioned to focus on working from the outside inwards: building strength, stretching, imitating "correct" ways to move or correct postures. But from the inside-out, that is not always necessary, a person is a very complex self regulating, self correcting dynamic system. Increased awareness allows that system to tune itself and work more efficiently without relying on more strength, without trying to instill habits by force. And more efficient movement comes with overall improvement in functioning of the nervous system - a person who moves more intelligently is also naturally more grounded and present https://www.mindbodywellnessnyc.com/intro-for-therapists
