This book is a collection of writings on principles and techniques by the pioneers of bodywork and body awareness disciplines. Together, they represent a historical record of the field of somatics. Ranging from hands-on workers like Ida Rolf to phenomenologist Elizabeth Behnke, their lives span this century. In these lectures, writings, and interviews, editor Don Hanlon Johnson has sought to revel the unbroken lineage, theoretical differences, and major similarities of these originators.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must read book,
By Sabina Lopez "Sabina" (Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bone, Breath, and Gesture: Practices of Embodiment Volume 1 (Bone, Breath, & Gesture) (Vol 1) (Paperback)
As someone who has studied and read a great deal on health issues, healing modalities and the integration of the human being as a whole I am very pleased to recommend this book. The book is a great tool to help anyone recognize the oneness of our nature, the power of awareness, and the potential within ourselves for well being and health.
Embodiment practices are a great tool to empower us and lead us to the recognition of our true nature. I loved the book and would recommend it to anyone interested in personal growth, wellbeing and a conscious life in all levels.
