Rarely does a teacher take the time to explain to a student how to learn. They will explain the topic and sometimes how to learn that topic, but how to learn in general so you can learn anything is rarely approached. In this short essay on Awareness Through Movement, Moshe Feldenkrais, the founder of the Feldenkrais Method (a form of somatic education) does just that. His intent is to enable us to learn at our own rate. For most of us, that is a radical concept. By following his simple instructions, we will not become stressed when we are learning and we will be giving ourselves a real chance to learn to learn.
