In order to recognize small changes in effort, the effort itself must first be reduced. More delicate and improved control of movement is possible only through the increase of sensitivity, through a greater ability to sense differences.
Make the impossible possible, the possible easy, the easy elegant...
Our breathing reflects every emotional or physical effort and every disturbance.
My purpose is to allow people to move closer to actually being creatures of free choice, to genuinely reflect individual creativity and emotion, freeing the body of habitual tensions and wired-patterns of behaviour so that it may respond without inhibition to do what the person wants.
In order to change our mode of action, we must change the image of ourselves that we carry within us.
I believe that the unity of mind and body is an objective reality. They are not just parts somehow related to each other, but an inseparable whole while functioning. A brain without a body could not think.
Nothing is permanent about our behavior patterns except our belief that they are so.
Learning to inhibit unwanted contractions of muscles that function without, or in spite of, our will, is the main task in coordinated action.
Movement is life. Life is a process. Improve the quality of the process and you improve the quality of life itself.
People confound, misuse, interchange thinking and speaking, not realizing that speaking is for communication and thinking is for action...
What you truly learn best will appear to you later as your own discovery.
Standing is harder than moving.
Ultimately, we become aware of most of what is going on within us mainly through the muscles.
A brain without a body could not think.
Movement is life; without movement life is unthinkable.
No matter how closely we look, it is difficult to find a mental act that can take place without the support of some physical function.
In short, health is measured by the shock a person can take without his usual way of life being compromised.
