Wow, this lesson has had a profound effect on my nervous system. The first time I did it some tension in my lower back released and I also had a boost of energy after. The second time has been even more powerful. My racing thoughts and busy mind feel like they have been put on mute by about 80% and everything in life is feeling so much easier. I feel a greater sense of connection to a place of love, calm, and ease. It’s very exciting!! I love Feldenkrais, I love these lessons. Thank you Nick for all that you do to keep this project going. I’m so grateful to have found your work, it’s saving my life and enriching it more than I could ever have imagined lying on the floor and doing small little movements every could. I can’t express enough how thankful I am.
