About The Creator (Cont.)
The method he developed powerfully
enhances our capacity for change, while honoring individual learning
styles. Grounded in the processes of learning and awareness, this
method teaches new, more effective ways to address neuromuscular
limitations that contribute to pain and dysfunction and or limit our
ability to carry out certain actions with grace and fluidity.
Being human, our capacity for learning is unparalleled. However,
in adapting to changing situations, our learning can work for us or
against us. When it is necessary or desirable to adapt to change,
this method provides the means to know what to learn and how to learn
it. Our nervous system's self organizing processes, accessed
through intention, attention and movement -- are used to transform and
refine our every activity. The singular genius of these lessons
is that they use bodily movement, actual and imagined, to focus
learning at the juncture of thought and action. By paying
attention to sensory-motor differences we create the awareness
necessary to free us from habitual action. In turn, we make way
for new patterns of thinking, moving, and feeling.
The lessons produce a feeling of deep relaxation, while improving
flexibility, coordination and overall vitality. The results are
often dramatic, resulting in significantly better movement skills,
greater spontaneity of thought and action, and the alleviation of
chronic tension and pain.
Clearly on the leading edge of human development techniques, the method
has gained widespread popularity in the United States and Europe and is
widely recommended by physicians, physical therapists and others
interested in improving physical performance. Additionally, it
has been featured in Newsweek, Smithsonian, Science Digest, Runners
World, Dance Magazine, Quest, Yoga Journal and countless other books
and publications.
