Authentic Movement By Yifat Aharon In life, in the external world, we move in different spaces – home, outside, school, work, in between places – we simply move, and of course we also act while moving.  At the same time there are many situations in which we witness: we witness the outer world – people, nature, different situations. It is similar also in our inner world – each of us can experience her/himself thinking/feeling/doing something: "I feel lonely", "I feel happy"; and also can notice her/himself knowing that he feels lonely, i.e., witnessing her/himself. And as me, so is the other. It is usually the total opposite from what we do instinctively: our look is towards the outside. The deep frame of Authentic Movement based on this acknowledgment of both mover and witness. It enables me experiencing the present moment vividly and in full awareness. That, of course, demands an on-going practicing, It doesn’t happen tomorrow morning.. We all have our habits and instincts from the past, from society etc. – for good and for bad; yet, as human beings we`re the only creature that has the possibility to develop freedom and choice; hence, by being aware through this method to our own present experience – in thoughts, in emotions, in will impulses – we develop the ability to recognize our motivations, and hence to choose our thoughts and actions, as well as our responses to daily situations and to life events. Mainly, It is about individuality. Knowing myself through this practice, and getting know a bit about the other trough this practice, goes through totally subjective experiences. In "subjective experiences" It means that every experience that I have – is my experience, the filter is only me – my senses, my opinions, my judgments, my past, my taste… everything! This acknowledgment open a new channel to myself and to the other, for any other individual has her/his own subjective experiences. By living that, we can meet from a different point. By living that, I can witness my thoughts, my emotions and my doings with acceptance that allows me to choose to change them when I realize that this is my responsibility. July 2015
