Mark's Feldenkrais® / Mindfulness Story

My journey as a Guild Certified Feldenkrais® Practitioner, spanning over two decades, has been nothing short of transformative. The Feldenkrais Method®, with its profound emphasis on cultivating physical awareness by paying ever-more precise attention to movement, has left an indelible mark on my life. For many years, I wholeheartedly believed that the Feldenkrais Method encompassed the entirety of what I needed for self-improvement and personal growth. Its holistic approach, seamlessly integrating the mind and body, consistently yielded remarkable results, fostering a deepening sense of well-being and unlocking new levels of physical and mental potential.

However, as my journey of self-discovery continued, I gradually came to the realization that there existed a vast reservoir of both ancient and modern wisdom, some of which Dr. Feldenkrais obviously explored and integrated into his method. But it seemed to me as if there was more. (There’s always more….) I found myself inspired to seek out additional avenues for growth and self-understanding.

In 2019, I embarked on a regular mindfulness meditation practice, a decision that would prove to be a pivotal turning point in my ongoing quest for personal development. Through the practice of mindfulness, I discovered a powerful tool for cultivating present-moment awareness. This opened a window to a greater understanding of the true nature of my mind. While distinct in their approaches, I soon recognized a profound synergy between Feldenkrais and mindfulness. Both practices, at their core, share a fundamental emphasis on cultivating awareness—awareness of the body, the mind, and the interconnectedness of our entire being.

This realization deepened my appreciation for both practices and inspired me to integrate and explore them in a way that would give new direction to my own path and empower me to share these transformative tools with others. Through this website, I extend a heartfelt invitation to you to join me on this journey of exploration and discovery. It is my sincere hope that the insights and experiences I share may serve as a source of inspiration and guidance, supporting you on your own unique path of self-development and personal transformation.
