Product Description
Product Description
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.

This book is truly fantastic. I have been a massage therapist/bodyworker for years and have bought it for several of my clients and family members - most of whom have go on to lend the book to their yoga teacher/colleague/cousin etc. because it's so practical and helpful. If you want to get to know your body and how you can begin to "self-release" tense muscles and manage your physical health to increase body awareness and have greater well-being (and who doesn't need that?!) - then this book is for you.
Enjoy!

I've suffered back problems for over 30 years, also arthritis is grumbling in lots of my joints.I've tried lots of therapies over the years to find that there was no real fix.I've sufferd related depression as a result too.the ideas in this book are great and so simple ,I'm sure they have been around in different forms for many years, some certainly related to yoga.the idea of hinges are excellent, starting to use them were very diffficult and caused lots of pain, but I feel with constant use they will be automatic.Not an instant cure but I have found that I'm more mobile, able to move around easier, I cannot recommend this book highly enough

I found this book gripping ... I thought I already knew so much about my body and this book took it further into a meeting of my body than ever before. I now have it listed as essential reading on my website. Thank you Noah - Nicola Price
