Learning to see discontinuity in the body,
By
This review is from: Body Reveals: Illustrated Guide to the Psychology of the Body (Paperback)
This is the best book I know of so far on learning to see discontinuity in human bodies.Convergence of the three selves--and the lack of it--can be seen in the physical body--if you have the eyes to see. Massage therapists of any kind get lots of practice developing eyes to see what the body is--and is not doing. Practice in body-based psychotherapies like Reichian/Bioenergetic/Rolfing/Hellerwork will heighten your ability to discriminate physical discontinuities even more. If you don't have time today to get a massage license, try the book The Body Reveals, an Illustrated guide to the Psychology of the Body, by Ron Kurtz and Hector Prestera, M.D. (two Esalen presenter/participants) Harpers, 1976, reprinted 1984). If readers know another book in this field, I'd be glad to hear of it. What you see with such new eyes is how body parts fit together--and don't fit together. Do the top and bottom of this body flow seamlessly together--or not? Are the two halves top-bottom or left-right, front-back cooperating? Or is each half of the body in its own private world, only minimally communicating with the other half? If you have alert, simple eyes, adult bodies will tell you how different sides of us, primarily the top and bottom halves and the right and left sides of the body, are affectionate and cooperative with each other--or--have set up quite separate kingdoms. Some times one half does not even believe the other half is its team mate and partner. The body reflects outwardly how Coherent, Integrated and Aligned, the new CIA, the person's interior world, their psyche is. Find a full discussion of the "splits" our body reflects in the New Energy Anatomy, Nine New Views of Human Energy; No Clairvoyance Required! The phenomena of "lazy eye" in adults, where the two eyes appear to be looking different directions, pertains here. It points to how the c/s and b/s are going different directions. We could diagram that as the three circles of the three selves no longer aligned on the same vertical axis. One is drifting away from the other two. How's your alignment? I'm still working on mine. Another way to see body parts not fitting together is to look at bodies that do fit together seamlessly and elegantly. Healthy children age around age nine exhibit this most strongly, both boys and girls, any race. The above is slightly revised from The Five Puberties, A Three Selves journal on Children
