time, for what? freedom of choices
Dedicated to Beatriz Walterspiel and his entire teaching team
Starting the last year of my Feldenkrais training, between the first days of the module, one of the most clairvoyant trainers I've ever had in my life, raises a question to the group: What is there before the break? Could we take away the fatigue at rest? What other word can we find?

This resonates like a musical tuning fork until days later, once the module is finished, I read the transcription of the recording AY536, where Moshe Feldenkrais himself comments that, as always, pauses should pay attention to how the different Parts of the body before resuming action again.
Precisely the Pause is the first answer that I find to the question of Beatriz, as an interruption, not abrupt and not very long, either of the movement: the cessation of action, the stop.
In the first sense of the Diccionario Real Academia Española "during the pause, movement, action or exercise is interrupted briefly."
Resting sometimes involves a previous tiredness effectively. In fact it has happened to me in more than one class to tell the student: "Please rest" or "You can rest" and find the answer: "I can continue, I do not feel tired". In this sense I had a peculiar friend that one of his favorite phrases was: "I will rest when I die."
Rest may also involve a previous effort, or a job, even a concern. There are religions that devote a whole day to it: it is usually interpreted as not working on that day.
I usually listen in my lessons when you want to introduce the pause or interrupt the movement, the phrase: "Leave it alone, please"; It seems to me appropriate by the tone, it is as if momentarily ceases the activity to resume it soon.

I nowadays allow myself the freedom to take that truce for what is good for me at that moment. I remember perfectly in another module to ask directly to Beatriz if I could simply rest in the breaks, disconnect from the class and take it back when I felt invited to move again. Before I asked that question, I had already recognized my compulsion to scan the body in supine position with my attention bias practically in all the pauses I made; Now I can choose: to stay in the last position without even returning to the supine position and to disconnect the system completely, to scan in supine position, to pause before the teacher proposes it, to stay in the supine position without doing anything, in short, any combination That I can think of as I like.
Give me time seems to me to be a much more appropriate title for the German book of the famous Emmi Pickler than the one in the Spanish edition of Moving in freedom.
Time for what is the question that now resounds?
To feel what stops moving, what settles. Or also to detect what can emerge or emerge, or to rest and enjoy the power of freedom to always choose, whatever.
