Wisdom of the body moving : an introduction to body-mind centering
Hartley, Linda, 1949-
Wisdom of the body moving : an introduction to body-mind centering / Linda Hartley - Berkeley, Calif. : North Atlantic Books , c1995. - xxxvii, 346 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 325-[332]) and index.
Body-Mind Centering, developed by physical therapist and dancer Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, systematically explores the complex relationships between bodily experience and science. Hartley puts forth BMC's philosophy and its key components of investigating the "minds" of our skeletal systems, digestive organs, etc., through breath and imagery. "A specific `mind,'" she says, "can be experienced and witnessed when we direct our attention to a particular body system or part of the body, or when we move with a certain focus and identifiable quality." Starting with basic cellular structure, she takes readers through in utero development, birth, patterns of growth, and the body's many systems. The book's many photographs illustrating various exercises combine with anatomical drawings and generous endnotes and bibliography to make it a thorough grounding for further study.
