I love this class soooooo much. I've been living with a TBI for nearly four eyes, and I find myself regularly practicing Feldenkrais movements, especially for the eyes. This video is a gem, I notice a significant difference when I practice this lesson. Amazing relief in ten minutes. Thank you, Annie!

Glad to hear it-- If you haven't checked out my vision or brain injury playlists, I have made a collection there. The last series on Patreon also had a lot of eye lessons with the Dragonfly series.

Thank You ssso much Annie .this is exactly what i need .at yoga we do sometimes palming and eye movement exercises when we imagine the clock and follow each hour with closed eyes and head still. But i never tried moving eyes on diagonal, to the front and behind me . What a wonderful feeling ( i did in bed after waking up ) . The peace it brought and stg happened in the brain to calm it completely.im gonna check Your other vids !!!! You are godsend!!! 🥰Happy New Year!!!! Eternally grateful .

Amazing. My neck and my shoulder and my skull fascia are all aligned along with the benefits of relaxing eyes. Thank you so much for this video. And yes when I moved my eyes towards the left , my left shoulder begin to breathe. Can we do this video lying down completely instead of sitting?

Awesome to hear. You are welcome Barkha

when reading or playing piano, etc. is it ideal to keep your head looking horizontal and when the words/notes are lower than horizontal, to just use your eyes to look down there/ I know in feldenkrais, we always talk about the whole body moving together, but in those instances, it doesn't seem practical. Would that cause strain though to just move the eyes down?

Good question-- It's good to be able to do either one...

Thanks-- that was very calming. When I move my eyes in the side directions, should I imagine them as staying parallel to my face or have them on a line perpendicular to the direction they're moving?

The eyes move along the horizon level in the angle/direction you are looking-- i.e., a 45 degree angle to the right or behind you to the left... Does that make sense? not sure what you mean by a line perpendicular to the direction the eyes are moving...

Hi Nancy, Not exactly perpendicular- the eyes are moving forward and back within the approximately 45 degree angle from your nose position. So your eyes are moving forward and backward on the same flat plane - level with your nose. but 45 degrees away from the nose position. Does that make sense? I demonstrate by pointing with my hand in the video which direction the eyes move... let me know if that is clearer...

Hi Nancy. It really helped me follow the way Annie moves her arms ..

Unclear about movements to side. Is the first one horizontally to the right?

Thanks kindly, but isn't this Feldenkreis gentle movement much like The Bates method?

@SensingVitality

Жыл бұрын

Yes, Feldenkrais studied and incorporated the Bates Method - I have mentioned that in my palming videos but happy to mention it again. The difference that I can tell with the Feldenkrais method is the emphasis on connection with the skeletal system, utilizing our awareness in this special way that improves our proprioception and internal mapping as well as expanding our consciousness. Other methods incorporate this as well but what I find unique about Feldenkrais is the deep connection with the bones in gravity to really deeply sense where we are in space and how to coordinate in slow and gentle movements. Other modalities do this like Tai chi or qigong But they have a bit of a different focus. I incorporate a number of modalities with my Feldenkrais work, in particular my study of nature.

Why i find it hard to move my eyes 45 degrees on the right side but easy on the left side?

I'm not sure without watching you move, but there's a chance your neck may be tight which affects the movement of your eyes. You can try lying down on the floor and place one hand on your forehead to gently roll your head-- with eyes closed, rest and then come back to this lesson and see if it's easier.... if so, then try some of my neck playlist lessons first and then come back to this lesson.
