Why
don't I see an image when I put my disc in the DVD player?
Most of our products are audio with only a few exceptions. Check and make sure
the disc you are trying to watch is labeled as a DVD. Chances are you have placed
a CD in your DVD Player. |

How
do I get a replacement for a faulty disc?
Occasionally, a disc will be faulty. First, make sure it is not your machine
that you are having trouble with. Try the disc on a different device and confirm
that you have the same problem.
To receive a
replacement, click here to fill out the contact
form and tell us which item and which CD or DVD number you
need a replacement for and we will send a replacement at no
charge. |

Why
don't you have videos that show the right way to do the lessons?
The "right way" to do a lesson will vary from person to person. If
you watch a video and copy what someone else does you are just copying their
habits. You will benefit most from the lessons by listening to the instructions
and making sense of them in your own way. When you approach lesson in this way
you more fully integrate the learning and enrich and expand the potential of
your own habits. |

What
are the guidelines for doing Awareness Through Movement?
- Wear loose
comfortable clothing.
- Do the lessons
on a reasonably firm surface on the floor with a blanket
or mat.
- Do the movements
slowly and gently. Slow, gentle movements allow you to sense
more precisely how you are doing the movement.
- Stay within
your range of comfortable movement (don't go for the "stretch").
- Sense your
skeleton and your skeletal contact as you do the lesson.
- Do as many
movements as is comfortable for you - that may be two or it may
be twenty - and then rest.
- Rest as often
as you want or need to. Resting helps to refresh your attention
and to integrate what you have been learning. If you find your
attention wandering or if the movement becomes messy or confused,
stop and rest.
- If you feel
pain during a movement, stop and rest. When you return to the
movement make it slower and smaller. Generally you can make the
movement small enough that you don't activate the pain response.
If you still feel pain, use your imagination. You can do the
movement in your imagination comfortably and easily, without
pain.
- Give yourself
some time to integrate the lesson afterwords. This is usually
several hours after the lesson. Refrain from extreme effort or
highly compelling activities. Dr. Feldenkrais in his book Awareness
Through Movement recommends doing the lessons in the
evening before bed.
