Sex-The
Feldenkrais®Way for Women - CD or Download
by Donna Ray, M.A., M.F.T.
In the 1940's a medical doctor named Arnold Kegel
developed a series of exercises for women with urinary
problems and women who had poor muscle tone in their
vaginas. These sequences were actually adapted from
sexual exercises practiced in India for thousands
of years. Most women have heard about Kegels and know
that they can help women have longer, deeper, more
profound orgasms, in some cases even making sex enjoyable
for the first time. Now Donna Ray, Feldenkrais
Educator & psychotherapist, has added Feldenkrais
Movements to the Kegel exercises, magnifying the power,
breadth, and scope of sexual proficiency available
to women. Based
on the work of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais. 1

Corollary
Discharge, The Forgotten Link - Remarks on the
Body-Mind Problem
by Yochanan Rywerant
Once
an intention of action is formed, communication
is sent from the motor system to the sensory systems
to prepare the body for the intended movement.
This communication is called corollary discharge,
a little-understood aspect of our neuromuscular
functioning. Learned through repetition that is
performed with sensory awareness, the corollary
discharge is highly developed in people of skill
(musicians, athletes, surgeons) and becomes an
integral part of their self image, allowing them
to have ease, fluidity and congruence in their
movements.
Yochanan Rywerant brings this subliminal aspect
of our selves to conscious awareness, both for
the appreciation of the function and so that we
may become more able to deeply sense and enhance
our motor functioning. Through his mastery of
mind-body education, he teaches us how to utilize
corollary discharge to resolve conflicting patterns
and open the channels of communication between
our motor and sensory systems. Monograph, 35 pages,

Discover
Easy Movement and Pain Relief
by Deborah Bowes, PT
Comfortable,
pain-free movement requires the effective coordination
of the head and pelvis through the spine. In working
with thousands of people in pain in her own practice
and a number of pain programs, Deborah Bowes has
found that the loss of this connection is the
most common movement impairment for people in
chronic pain. She designed this series to address
these issues.
These six easy-to-do lessons will allow
you to discover:
• how to really take care of yourself as
you move
• how to shift attention from painful sensations
to other
qualities, changing the ‘neuromodular pattern’
of pain
• the process of sensing for comfort
• how enlarging the self-image decreases
pain
• the importance of the pelvis–head
connection
• how pain can arise and be avoided in movement,
using breathing as a measure of quality.
Many Feldenkrais practitioners use Discover
Easy Movement and Pain Relief to prepare
for their own classes or as the basis of their
student’s home program.
These Feldenkrais lessons use gentle
folding, twisting, rolling and breathing to expand
your possibilities for comfortable movement. People
who have purchased this set find it an essential
tool for healing and well-being. 3 CDs in a Jewel
