This book takes the wisdom from the East, specifically from the ancient science of Ayurveda, and combines it with a version of the Western medical model, stirs in large portions of awareness, safety, and support, adds practical visual techniques, so that we can update our old life impressions. Illustrated. Bibliography, resource list, index. Not only is this book a must for any bodywork or somatic therapist, it demonstrates a way for each of us to live in our bodies with greater understanding, healthy, intimacy and grace.---Dr. Robert Waterman.
