I don't want to assume you know what a TED Talk is, so for now I'll briefly say that they are an amazing resource of knowledge and their tag-line, Ideas Worth Spreading, says it all. The first TED talk I ever watched was Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroscientist (brain scientist) sharing her experience of [...]
Several people said, "It's magic!" I read the above orange letters in a colleagues newsletter a day or so ago. The magic that is being talked about is what people said after they experienced some good old Feldenkrais-Love. I get similar comments from my class participants. I've been called [...]
