Episode 110: Attention to the Middle: The Golden Ball Lesson
Episode 110:
Today we take a Feldenkrais approach to directing our attention.
This episode is the intro lesson to the series The Focused Body: Attention Practices Through Feldenkrais where we will directly use subtle movements to strengthen our capacity for sustained concentration.
You will learn to deliberately shift your focus from narrow sensory detail to wide spatial awareness. By using your body as a reliable anchor, you will cultivate the quieter attention that empowers you to choose intention over impulse in daily life.
So in today’s episode, you will first hear a short introduction about how to approach working with your attention, and after that will be a 60 minute Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lesson.
If you resonate with TODAY’s approach, you may be interested in the Feldenkrais course The Focused Body.
