Embodied practices have not yet been widely studied in the
field of creative writing, although writing is a core medium
of emotional understanding. This article aims to develop
connection between creative writing and a certain somatic
approach, Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement practice, by seeking interlapping areas of interest and concepts,
such as attention, and voice. This setting of writing and somatic practice into dynamic interplay aims to create an understanding of how the body‘s embodied knowledge, ability
to sense, learn, and change can affect writing. The possible
contact points of Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement method and creative writing practice have potential to
improve writers‘ relationship to their practice and medium,
and additionally, the discussion presented in this article enwidens our understanding of creative writing. Some Feldenkrais body mapping techniques, like using constraints and
freedom and differentiation and combination, can be further
applied in writing practices.
