| Rosen Method Bodywork: Accessing the Unconscious Through Touch by North Atlantic Books If Words Can Describe Energy Healing | | I am a not a professional bodyworker. However, after reading this book I aspire to this profession. Marion's descriptions of her work and method are so simple. Energy work, which resonates with our deepest spiritual selves, generally defies human words. Yet Marion manages to convey her message well. She doesn't always try to attach a meaning to why energy healing works. She readily says, "I don't know why it works, but it does." Being on the table experiencing this work is miraculous! I don't know why it works, but it does! | | Rosen Method Bodywork: Accessing the Unconscious Through Touch by North Atlantic Books Rosen Method Bodywork | The Southwest, and Santa Fe in particular, has long been a mecca for the healing arts. The area seems to produce a kind of mentality and lifestyle for all types of alternative healers, from astrology to hypnosis to massage to Chinese medicine. Rosen Method Bodywork is one of many forms of bodywork to find a foothold in the region.
Marion Rosen, creator and founder of Rosen Method bodywork and movement, penned this in-depth explanation of her bodywork and movement therapy with her longtime collaborator, Sue Brenner. For anyone who has experienced the wonders of Rosen Method (and I count myself among the fortunate), this book is a godsend.
Rosen Method bodywork is distinguished by its gentle, direct touch. Based on Rosen's professional training as a physical therapist and developed experientially over many years, this jewel of discovery and creative expression has been a well-kept secret. Using hands that listen rather than manipulate or massage, the Rosen Method practitioner focuses on chronic muscle tension. When relaxation occurs and the breath deepens, unconscious feelings, attitudes and memories may come to the surface.
In his foreword to the book, Dr. Claudio Naranjo offers that he "considers Rosen a wise woman of the best kind: one who not only understands, but has humanity. She is a first-rate example of those I have over the years called"the new shamans"-those who heal by a combination of direct contagion and very simple facts that our academic world ignores."
Rosen's candid reflections on the surprises and healing that show up routinely in her work with clients and students alike is refreshing. The case studies in the book are a valuable demonstration of the principles behind the Rosen Method. What if enjoyment, satisfaction and full participation in life is actually a function of posture, breathing, digestion, movement and the ongoing regeneration of organs, bones and other body tissues? And, what if you have access to affecting all those living processes?
Whether you want to fully experience Rosen Method bodywork or not, this book offers refreshing, uncomplicated insights into what has made life the way it is for you. For those interested in living life to the fullest, this book offers an understanding of how Rosen creates that possibility through touch.

| | Rosen Method Bodywork: Accessing the Unconscious Through Touch by North Atlantic Books Product Description | | In this long-awaited description of the body-centered therapy developed by Marion Rosen, the reader begins to understand how emotional and physical ailments can be addressed through the gentle touch of the Rosen practitioner. Rosen explains how the practitioner identifies tensions in the body that point to the source of a problem and how that awareness guides the healing process. With the help of psychotherapist Susan Brenner, one of Marion's first students and the director of Rosen Center East, she describes the origins of her method; how people reveal their emotions in body postures; barriers they set up to love, self-expression, and intimacy, and how Rosen work enables a client to move beyond these barriers. Treatments for asthma, migraine headaches, heart problems, weak immune systems, and psychosomatic illnesses are chronicled. Essay by doctors, psychologists, and Rosen practitioners describe how this method of touch, words, and acceptance guides their work, and complete this remarkable tribute to a visionary woman. |
