5.0 out of 5 stars Reads like Nonfiction, February 25, 2008

By	CraniOcean "Touch the Ocean" (http://www.CraniOcean.com) - See all my reviews

Useful for the layman, incredibly useful for anyone seriously considering the study of whole body emotional release work of any school or approach. Also required reading for anyone working with Dolphin Assited Therapy(DAT) in the Upledger school.

The older book, "SomatoEmotional Release and Beyond" by Dr. John E. Upledger, DO, FAAO, DSc, originally a hard cover text for students, now has a new, very readable design to find its full flowering and fruition here. The older hard cover, like Upledger's first text, "Craniosacral Therapy," was at times difficult for the layman to grasp, but not so here. Very quickly the reader is gently guided into a world of wonder and of mystery, a world filled with miraculous tales of health and sudden healing that can boggle the mind! Unfamiliar terms are simply defined, "deciphered" in easy to read language.

Get ready to move beyond your comfort zone in this long awaited, well designed, distillation of the original teaching text, grounded in testimonials. If the original read like a novel in places, this read is fun and way better!
