Annie, I am going today to visit my friend who had brain surgery 2 months ago. This lesson will be so helpful in her recovery. I feel so wonderful having done it myself just now. Thanks so much for all that you do. Have a wonderful day.

Always happy to join your lessons, so beneficial. As it happens I have already been doing some tapping exercises for the eyes: around the eye socket area, as well as the back of my skull. Today’s lesson was a welcome variation. You mentioned the neck feeling differently. I also noticed a lighter chest. In the spirit of the whale I was humming. Thank you!

[@SensingVitality]

Thanks so much-- nice to feel lighter for sure! And humming, too....

It seems ,that you live in a very natural beautiful area, waouh Thanks from also a Feldenkrais practitioner and I wonder why don't you take your hands to do the same you did? I love using my hands to tap instead of using what you used .Thanks for all your interesting animal ATM's greetings from Paris

Hi, thanks-- yes, I've used my hands but sometimes using a wooden tool extends awareness in a different way also changes levers and in some cases makes the movement possible for people who have severe injuries or neurological challenges. The wood element also has a nature effect which is subtle. I find both ways --- using hands or using a wood tool are valuable. In my series with hummingbirds and with the sun series we used a chopstick which I found very helpful.
