Book Description
An illustrated guide to the Structural Integration bodywork process and the relationship between body alignment and energy flow • Details each of the 10 sessions in the Structural Integration bodywork series, explaining what to expect and how to maximize the benefits • Explores the relationship between the energetics of the body and its alignment, including a scientific understanding of how gravity affects body alignment • Explains how to incorporate essential oils and other holistic support tools as well as the psycho-emotional Hellerwork themes When the body’s structure is optimally aligned, not only does it eliminate pain, reduce inflammation, and stop the degeneration of joints and discs, it also enhances the flow of energy in the body and awakens us to greater mental clarity. In this illustrated guide to Dr. Ida P. Rolf’s Structural Integration process, Jean Louise Green introduces the principles of Structural Integration and details each of the 10 sessions in the Structural Integration bodywork series, explaining what to expect and how to maximize the benefits. She explores the relationship between the energetics of the body and its alignment, including an advanced scientific understanding of how gravity can become a beneficial force when the body is properly aligned. She provides clear, accessible descriptions of core concepts such as the Rolf Line and the torus, including a detailed explanation of how to access the energetics of the Rolf Line. She illustrates the rotation patterns of the body and explains how they contribute to pain and how correcting them may minimize the need for hip and knee replacements. She provides movement exercises and support tools for self-care and maintenance between sessions and explains optimal body mechanics for moving, sitting, and standing as well as how to avoid putting stress and strain back into the body. This book is an excellent resource guide to accompany a person through their Structural Integration series. The author also explores how to incorporate Joseph Heller’s psycho-emotional Hellerwork themes in the Structural Integration process and looks at holistic support tools such as electromagnetic resonancing, far-infrared saunas, essential oils, gratitude practices, meditation, and the Five Tibetan yogic exercises. Offering an energy medicine approach to bodywork, this guide provides both practitioners and laypeople with the necessary tools to dramatically increase the efficiency of the body, release chronic pain, improve mental function, and free energy flow.

Book Description
Structure, Function, Integration: Journal of the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute is the professional journal representing the field of Rolfing® Structural Integration. It has been in continuous publication for some forty years, initially as The Bulletin of Structural Integration and later as Rolf Lines.The March 2019 issue (Volume 47, No. 1) of Structure, Function, Integration: Journal of the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute¿ begins a theme on the Ten Series of Rolfing® Structural Integration (SI), the ten-session series that our founder Ida Rolf conceived as both a teaching methodology and a 'Recipe' for aligning the human body in gravity. As there is so much to say, this issue will present Part 1 of that theme, focusing on Ten-Series history (the early Recipe as taught in the 1950s, and the modern Recipe as Rolf herself taught it), its internal order and complexity of the Recipe, and thoughts on teaching and practicing the Ten Series. (Part 2 will be in the June 2019 issue.)Our regular columns cover Rolfing SI and Sports, with a discussion of working with athletes, including elite professionals; fascia insights as gleaned from research into stretching fascia by Helene Langevin and her team; and a discussion of the Ten Series by Dr. Ida Rolf Institute¿ faculty.Our Perspectives section covers a discussion of the origin and spiritual dimension of Rolfing SI, a contemplation of ninja movement arts in relation to Rolfing embodiment, and tributes to Rosemary Feitis and Vivian Jaye, two important figures in our history. Feitis provided seminal assistance to Ida Rolf with the early trainings, the founding of the Institute, and the publication of Rolf's books, launching Rolfing SI into the public and professional sphere. Jaye, in turn, was a luminary of Rolf Movement® Integration. Along with her close collaborator Jane Harrington, she made key developments in the work itself and how it is taught, and nurtured Rolf Movement work to a coequal place and in the overall Rolfing curriculum.

Pages : 463

Book Description
An illustrated manual for using physical movement and alignment to resolve chronic pain and tension and work with the emotions • Includes 90 exercises to work with emotions through the body and support the neck, shoulders, lower back, feet, and overall posture as well as breathing and voice • Explains how to listen to the body’s signals to discover our physical and emotional blindspots--the weaknesses and misalignments at the root of our discomfort • Draws on Zen shiatsu, Rolfing, yoga, and Gestalt psychotherapy to explain how transformation of physical structure corrects imbalances in the unconscious mind Developed by Cathy Thompson through her many years as a bodywork therapist, the Thompson Method incorporates Zen shiatsu, Rolfing, yoga, and Gestalt psychotherapy to heal pain in the physical body both through bodywork and by recognizing the emotional blockages that often underlie chronic pain, tension, and poor alignment. In this practical manual, Thompson and her protégé-daughter Tara Thompson Lewis provide a deep understanding of body mechanics and how to work with emotions through the body. They explore how to listen to the body’s signals to discover our physical and emotional blindspots--the weaknesses and misalignments at the root of our discomfort--and explain how transformation of your physical structure can correct imbalances in the unconscious mind caused by repressed memories and emotional traumas. Offering illustrated instructions for 90 corrective alignment exercises, the authors show how to release body tensions, realign the body’s dynamic structure, work with the deep postural muscles, and support the neck, shoulders, lower back, and feet to strengthen the emotional and physical body as well as improve singing, dancing, yoga, and posture while sitting at the computer. They also explore breathing and bodywork practices to release the vocal mechanism and free the voice for more fluid and powerful self-expression. By recognizing and releasing the deeper emotional triggers beneath our physical complaints, the Thompson Method allows you to resolve chronic pains, increase body awareness and free movement, and create the foundation for good health and well-being.
