The Nazis hunted him. The Gestapo wanted him. Bandler patterned him.

This story sounds like it came right out of a movie. But it's TRUE. Back in the 1970s Richard Bandler and John Grinder invented arguably one of the coolest if not the best jobs in the world…  They got paid to figure out what people who are highly successful in a given field actually do (not what they say they do), code it, and teach it to others so they could produce similar results, in a fraction of the 'normal' time it takes to achieve those results.  This was the birth of NLP modelling.  But not everyone was happy!  Some folks were annoyed, but not for the reasons you might expect…  Flash back to the 1980s…  One day while Richard was running a seminar, a man came bursting into the room. He went to the front of the stage. Looked Richard in the eye and said:  “What’s wrong with me?”  Richard replied: “You’re lost!”  The audience laughed.  Man: “No, I’m not. You’re Richard Bandler.” Richard smiled.  The man continued: “I want to know, you modelled Virginia Satir, you modelled Fritz Pearl. You modelled Erickson. What’s wrong with me?”  Richard: “Who the f**k are you?”  Man: “I’m Moshe Feldenkrais”  Richard: “Sorry, never heard of you!”  That was a lie. Richard knew who Moshe was and soon a remarkable chapter for both men would begin…  Every NLPer knows about Richard. Few know much about Moshe.  He was a remarkable man.  In June 1940, as a young jew, Moshe and his wife found themselves trying to escape Nazi-occupied Paris on foot. The Gestapo were just hours away from the city.  Under Moshe’s arms were two suitcases, within which he had nuclear secrets and a newly discovered material - heavy water - an essential component for producing nuclear energy and weapons.  You see Moshe was a physicist, working on a secret French atomic program. He was on the project that first split the atomic atom.  He would have been a dream catch for the Gestapo.  Rushing though the streets, with the air sirens ringing, there was little time to spare. Moshe needed to escape to England fast, before the Nazis found him.  Problem: Pain. Horrible pain.  He could hardly walk. A decade-old knee injury was flaring up. To complicate things, his wife, Yohnah, had a hip problem and wasn’t capable of a long journey on foot.   They began a desperate cross-country dash to find a ship for England, driving from port to port only to find the last boats had already left.  The Luftwaffe were bombing the roads. Crowds were desperately fleeing for their lives. Soon the roads became so damaged, travel by car was impossible. They had to do the rest by foot.  At one point, Moshe’s wife couldn’t walk anymore. Moshe, through force of will, pushed her in an abandoned wheelbarrow until they finally met the British evacuation team.  Soon after, they made it onto the last boat to escape occupied France, the HMS Ettrick, captioned by none other than Ian Flemming (who later wrote the James Bond novels.)  This was just the beginning of Moshe’s epic adventures.  His experiences escaping from France would trigger a lifelong enquiry into how to get the brain and body to learn, adapt and change.  He had incredible knowledge and skills.  Skills that Richard Bandler would soon come to greatly admire and use his new-found modelling skills to uncover the strategies and patterns that Moshe used to create profound changes in clients through movement.  To discover more about Moshe and the human brain’s incredible ability to learn faster, heal quicker and change:  Check out this video:  >> [The Brain's Way of Healing](  To your success, Tom  P.S.
