Somatic Intelligence - Volume 9 Movement is Bliss (Color Version)

This book is a follow-up to Volume 8, "Movement is Medicine", where many disciplines were covered that provided scientific evidence for the body's ability to change itself down to the level of DNA using movement. Volume 9 describes and illustrates several key practical movements and hands-on exercises that are simple and effective. They focus on releasing tensions from the key areas in the body, (like the heart and lungs, neck and shoulders, spine, groin and hips, solar plexus and diaphragm) that are the most vulnerable to aging and injury using an approach that is both unique in formulations and ancient in principles. You can use these methods with yourself, your loved ones, or on your patients, clients, and students in case you are a movement educator. They truly emphasize what matters most as you use your body throughout the day and during any physical activity. whether moderate or intense. As these movements and hands-on techniques move from simple foundational aspects to more complex, integrated sequences you're able to discover a joyful ease that relaxes and connects your system from one end to the other.
