Many of us hold on to old fears, traumas and stresses and allow them to define and frame our lives. This book shows how to relieve these problems and help you look and feel better on a profound level. Based on the idea that the body is composed of twenty-one important hinges, Meet Your Body shows how we can 'oil' and free these hinges, stretching the body out so we can feel healthy and happy more of the time.Noah's therapeutic work is influenced by his background in Rolfing, a hands-on manipulation of the body's connective tissue designed to enhance posture and freedom of movement. From this theory of structural integration, Karrasch has developed a focus on the inseparable connection between our minds and our bodies, our bodymindcore. Guiding the reader through the various hinges of the body, from the big toe to the hip to the head, the author shows how learning to isolate and stretch these hinges in new ways can lead to a happy bodymindcore, making a great difference to overall health and wellbeing. Each chapter addresses a particular hinge physically as well as sharing ideas about its emotional component, and includes photographs and drawings illustrating a variety of bodymindcore techniques.This book offers people with both ordinary and extraordinary body challenges new ideas for how they can make changes in the way their bodies work for them. A practical guide to releasing bodymindcore trauma, Meet Your Body challenges us all to get in touch with and listen to our bodies to improve our health and overall happiness.
CONTENTS:Prologue. 1. The Big Toe Hinge. 2. The Ankle Hinge. 3. The Knee Hinge. 4. The Hip Hinges. 5. The Sacred Hinge. 6. The Stomach Hinge. 7. The Heart Hinge. 8. The Arm Hinge. 9. Shoulders, Elbows, Wrists and Fingers. 10. The Head Hinge. 11. Afterword: Putting It All Together.
A gem in the field of Structural Integration. All body workers should have a copy of this book. Here is the best attempt, so far, to describe how to ""talk"" to a Structurally integrated body, hinge by hinge. I've seen no better source for body meditation and awakening the integrated body. Noah writes with special intimate knowledge of his material.""
