Indipensable för teachers and their pupils. The foreword is written by Dr. Moshe FeldenkraisIF YOU ARE AWARE OF ANOTHER FIRST EDITION OF THIS BOOK WITH A JACKET, ANYWHERE, I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW ABOUT IT This book has importance because it gives expression to a growing trend, quiet yet noticeable, toward increased self-reliance and learning how to take care of ourselves. Involved is learning to heal our own bodies through deliberate self-control. The name of this activity is Functional Integration, explained in the Preface by Thomas Hanna, also author of a book on Feldenkrais's work, of which he too is a teacher. He says: Mazzini and Emerson were other influences of importance. Gandhi's assimilation of Western ideas in which he found moral validity, joined with his ancestral Indian philosophy, is expressed in Hind Swaraj, the best book for consideration of Gandhi's thinking and lifelong struggle. (A good source for Gandhian literature is Greenleaf Books, Weare, New Hampshire 03281.) The Gandhi Marg writer concludes: The Feldenkrais system is a way of handling the body by communicating specific sensations to the central nervous system in order to improve the functions of the motor system. Functional Integration is unique in that it invokes changes in the human brain at a level heretofore thought unachievable by any known educational technique: muscular tonicity—even spasticity—is actually modified, the range of movement is enhanced, movement becomes more coordinated, and the overall efficiency and comfort of muscular functioning is increased. Although India has had religious and social reformers, yet no one before Gandhi had linked religious reform, social action, and movements for political freedom and individual conscience together. Here emerged a body of thought supported by concomitant action in which religious salvation was shown to be dependent not upon mere rituals or singing of songs but upon social and political action and working for suffering humanity. By a magnificent paradox, as Albert Schweitzer points out, "Gandhi brings the idea of activity and the idea of world and life negation into relationship in such a way that he can regard activity in the world as the highest form of renunciation of the world." I utilize a third party shipper for international sales. Please note the actual shipping cost before purchasing. That is not my shipping fee and I neither receive it nor know what the amount is. Please do not commit to "buy it now" until you have seen the shipping amount that you will be charged. Thank you. For International Buyers: Media Mail shipments only. Please note that, although you are likely paying very high shipping costs to have this item sent to you, I am not charging those costs. In the case of books, I utilize "media mail" to get the box to the third party shipper. "Media mail" is a very SLOW speed mailing process reserved for books and records that are potentially very heavy. If you can not wait for my shipment to reach the third party shipper at a very slow pace, please contact me before purchasing and I can add a faster (and more expensive) alternative to the listing to get the item to the third party shipper. MEDIA MAIL: The USPS allows books, records and other media to be mailed at a cheaper price than typical mail. It tends to be a much slower mailing process than standard mail. In addition, any employee of the USPS can open the package at ANY time for ANY reason to verify that what is inside is what should be inside. In most cases, the item is properly repackaged but in rare cases it is not, and an item can arrive damaged. As my feedback suggests, I package very carefully. If you receive a damaged item that has the appearance of having been poorly packaged, please contact me prior to leaving feedback so that it can be addressed. PLEASE NOTE: For book sales, I virtually always include a vinyl bag tightly wrapped on the exterior. This is an attempt to prevent any USPS employee from opening the package for inspection as it would be time consuming for them to repackage it. This is done simply because my packaging is done more carefully than their repackaging and also to protect the book from the elements. The vinyl bag covers cardboard protection and you can simply cut the bag open (carefully) and remove the contents. The cardboard protection is also typically held with tape and cutting in the obvious places will allow the cardboard to pop right open, exposing the book (in another protective vinyl bag). Using this method, you should be able to open any book I send in under a minute. No "buzz saw" is required. Thank you
