Author Paula Garbourg calls her programme "sphincter gymnastics," and after excercising your sphincter for 30 minutes you begin to feel like you've been straddling the Pommel Horse for weeks. After getting used to the regimine, though I've begun to feel the benefits: better digestion, more frequent bowel movements, less flatulance and relief from chronic hemorrhoids.

After the reading the book and reviewing the DVD i did several exercises and was astonished by my body's reaction.
its like no other feeling i got from trying other methods.
Wow. what an experience. I recommend to all!

This book was given to me by a client who had a severe head injury from a car accident. I'm a craniosacral therapist and also do work with the organs called visceral manipulation. She did the exercises while I worked on her. Very powerful combination. She had changes happening in her head that would have taken quite a bit longer to happen without the combination. I got the book for myself and found that my eyesight improved while doing the exercises. I didn't do them enough, I guess, to feel a change in my digestive system. Another thing on the list to do!

All that said, I found the first 100 pages or so describing his theories was just plain bad. Whenever I suggest this book to patients I always tell them to skip the preamble. Also, many of the exercises have their roots in many different modalities such as Feldenkrais, Alexander Technique, etc. and there is no mention of that in the book.

Once you get your feet wet in this, you may find Feldenkrais practitioners who have made their own audio versions of doing exercises that are excellent and bit more complicated and advanced that what is in the book.

I bought this for my mother after my wife had heard it's a good book. Well, my mom loves it and she swears by the techniques the book teaches!

I bought this book from Amazon, got it and believe strongly that the data is vital to learn, but the $49 price is a cheat if you expect the DVD to work.
I will keep the book and study, but the people who thought they could help Garbourgh, author, are cheating her memory and technology.
Yes I bought this book from Amazon, have never had a chance to review it formally, trying this

I am really sorry, but that's up to now the only way to contact you. I think you don't preview delivery problems, because I couldn't find a rubric to expose my following, from my point of view, simple problem:
You sent me the book: the secret of the ring muscles and you charged me the price for the book AND FOR A VIDEO THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT TOGETHER. bUT IT DID NOT ARRIVE. SO PLEASE, WHEN DO I GET MY VIDEO TAPE. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO BE CONTACTED NOT JUST BY A PREFABRICATED COMPUTER ANSWER.
With not very high respect, Peter

I'm still not tempted to try it though
