Has anyone here taken any Feldenkrais classes? If so, were they of any benefit, or are they hippy-trippy new agey hoo-ha?

Never tried Feldenkrais.

Why won't my advisor respond to my emails? Actually, I know why -- it's because I'm emailing him to try to set up a meeting to discuss the chapters I sent him last week, and I know he hasn't even started reading them yet. I just sent him yet another email telling him that my joints are in a lot of pain this week and I really need to figure out my schedule for each day ahead of time because I really can't just stay at the office for an extra few hours on a whim, and could he please tell me what time he can meet with me. I seriously doubt I'll get a response.

The Wikipedia entry on the Feldenkrais Method makes it sound rather impressive. "Current research on the neuro-plasticity, by scientists as Norman Doidge and Michael Merzenich may support Feldenkrais' key theories of the possibilities of somatic re-education." "Feldenkrais' background as a physicist, engineer and Judo master deeply informed his research." Now I want to find a class. Although I wonder if it isn't very much like Tai Chi.

I hurt and nothing is helping and I don't like it.

Also, I need to go grocery shopping, and I'm not sure I can manage it. I hate ordering grocery delivery -- the produce is always gross, and they always manage to run out of exactly one ingredient in each thing I was planning to make.

I had a friend on TT use it on her daughter's CP. Seems worth a shot, but not being a growing child, people were less enthusiastic about working on me

Hil, do you use Peapod. Or - Fresh Direct t memfault. That was the one I used in DC and I was always pleasantly surprised at the quality of the produce.

I sometimes use Peapod and sometimes Safeway. Peapod is more reliable about getting me what I ordered and delivering it on time, but Safeway has a better selection. Fresh Direct is only in NYC.

Hmm. It was something not Peapod but not a regular grocery that I used. I'm sorry it's such a pain in the ass for you.

It looks like Peapod has more stuff now than last time I checked. I think I'll order tomorrow, though -- I'm kind of tired and spacey right now, and I'd probably end up ordering ridiculous stuff.

Brenda, was it Door to Door Organics? I just googled and found that, but it works more like a CSA, with a box delivered each week. That actually could be useful, now that I think about it -- I quit my CSA because it was too much of a pain to pick up the vegetables each week.

Or Washington's Green Grocer?
