Lesson # 112: A plane dividing the body, part 1

This is a very literal lesson about defining the self-image. There is relatively little movement; most of the lesson involves various internal sensory and visualization techniques designed to help the student to kinesthetically define and come to better know him/her self by mentally establishing a plane that divides the body into its right and left halves exactly in the middle. Anyone can do this lesson and, while I probably wouldn't teach this as a student's first ATM lesson, this is a lesson that every student of ATM should take at some point. The experience of being guided to concentrate one's complete awareness in the very specific ways that the lesson dictates is invaluable, both for the pure joy of self-discovery and as a tool to illuminate one of the most basic principles of the Feldenkrais Method®. This lesson is not to be missed.
