The final thesis considers theme of links between the psychosomatic approach to vocal education and the Feldenkrais Method. Psychosomatic voice work is based on body-mind unity and assumes that a person's voice reflects her personality, and posits that through the medium of voice one can influence his whole self. The author reviews selected aspects of the psychosomatic approach to the human voice and considers voice as a means of self-knowledge and self-development. Created by Moshé Feldenkrais DSc. (1904 - 1984), the Feldenkrais Method is a holistic, experiential form of learning based on increasing one?s awareness through movement. The method employs movement to develop one's potential and quality of life. It is a multidisciplinary approach with diverse applications in a variety of activities. It draws on insights from neuroscience, physics, physiology, biomechanics, biology, psychology, child development, martial arts etc. The author presents the Feldenkrais Method from the perspective of reviewed topic, points out principles common to the two approaches, and asks how the Feldenkrais Method contributes to the development of one's vocal potential. The study?s main topic of investigation is the increase of the kinesthetic awareness of the self.
