M. Nehemia-Cohen on watching Amelia dance: "Your dancing is fine – the problem is with all the other ways you use your body outside of performance."

Increasing kinaesthetic awareness in everyday patterns leads to the understanding that there is no dancing body, acting body, sleeping body, and so forth. The body is always the body.

Susan Green (Mitzvah Technique Teacher): "Nehemia always talks about mastering the discipline of the Mitzvah, tapping into the body's instinctual need for movement. The big lesson in this work is movement… that is the discipline: getting up, not sitting for too long, bringing the Mitzvah mechanism into every day movements. Slouching is okay as long it doesn't become habitual."

In order to break patterns and stop building tension and aggravating injury, an individual must learn to change the source of the problem through attention to its primary origin.

The most common changes made to everyday movement are sitting with the feet flat on the ground, dropping the head and neck in sitting and standing, and standing in centre arch.

Profound change can be accessed by surprisingly simple shifts in everyday activities such as sitting standing and walking.
