Some topics we talked about:

  • how did you start feldenkrais: comparison with Alexander technique

  • being involved in multiple relationships with neutrality and spontaneouty, even in sexuality

  • drawn to feldenkrais: the novelty of movement puzzles and the boost for mood

  • fundamental similarities between meditation and feldenkrais

  • 8 months of traveling then I decided I want to work with my hand

  • zhiwei’s concern: does feldenkrais practice make you lazier and less reliable?

  • how is massage therapy helping and hindering practicing FI (function integration)?

  • why should you trust feldenkrais method? well, it’s important to be skeptical.
