Books to Complement Your Yoga Practice Complementary Learning
This book presents simple
practices for health maintenance and improvement--gentle movement, self-applied massage of
the acupuncture microsystems (ears, hands, or feet), breath work, and
relaxation/meditation. I always feel better and more positive after trying something
in the book. The author's voice is gentle and encouraging. The Healer Within opens
the door, and welcomes everyone to improve their well-being in simple ways.
This
book blew my mind. I think is it going to be the most important book I have read
this decade. My goal is to continue improving as a teacher, and this book has given me
insight to continue on that path. It's based on brain research done in the last 15 years,
and the author's 20 year experience working with kids. I gained a much deeper
understanding of how it is that people take in information, learn, and communicate ... so
differently! I have gleaned a better understanding of what approaches might be
helpful to my students' learning process. In addition, and perhaps more importantly,
understanding how we process information differently has helped me have more compassion
for people who are very different from me. I have gotten much more insight into the
interesting, or irritating quirks of myself and my loved ones. Things that friends
and family do that used to push my buttons, I can now see in a different light.
When I read this book, I decided it was the most important book of the past decade (for me!). Luckily, I read it on a canoe trip stuck in a tent in pouring rain, so I had the patience to do all the exercises in the book...and felt fabulous afterwords. It's all about releasing those muscles which you can no longer seem to relax. During the course of our lives, our sensory-motor systems continually respond to daily stress with specific muscular reflexes. These reflexes, repeatedly triggered, create habitual muscular contractions. Over time, we find that we can no longer voluntarily relax some of these contractions. These contractions become so unconscious that, eventually, we no longer know how to move about freely -- we are stiff, sore, and have a restricted range of motion. The book shows you exercises to free your body, and the theory behind it. What else could one possibly want??
