Description

We all have holding patterns that are so habitual, that they literally leave an historic imprint on the membranes of the body. These membranes store our actions, experiences emotions and beliefs. They in turn represent our impressions of life, in a hard copy of flesh.

This book takes the wisdom from the East, specifically from the ancient science of Ayurveda, and combines it with a version of the Western medical model, stirs in large portions of awareness, safety, and support, ads practical visual techniques, and passes this recipe along into capable hands and hearts.

Whether you are a professional in the health field or lay person simply interested in taking better care of yourself and others, you will find Ayurveda & Life Impressions Bodywork a refreshing, insightful, and practical approach to updating our old life impressions.

Donald VanHowten is a natural discover, what I find most valuable in this book is the emphasis on awareness and the self-organizing capabilities of our human system.
