AYURVEDA & LIFE IMPRESSIONS BODYWORK: Seeing Our Healing Memories Ref: 2384

Donald Van Howten

Van Howten teaches bodywork at the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque in New Mexico. He teaches that we all have holding patterns that are habitual, so that they leave an historical 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 Eastern wisdom of Ayurveda and combines it with a version of the Western medical model to create a powerful new recipe for healing the mind, the emotions and the body.

NINE WAYS TO BODY WISDOM: Blending Natural Therapies to Nourish the Body, Emotions & Soul Ref: RFD958

Jennifer Harper

'English naturopathic doctor and herbalist Harper believes that patients should not limit themselves to conventional Western medicine but should use holistic approaches that will "acknowledge that the mind, body and spirit need to be treated as a living entity." Her book emphasizes the 4,000-year-old Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) system of diagnosis and treatment, and she explains TCM's fundamental meridian system (a philosophy of energy paths through the body) in terms the layperson can understand. Harper also discusses each body organ, its function and possible disease according to both the Western and Chinese approach. TCM recognizes that the disharmony inherent in each illness will have an accompanying emotional component. As an example Harper states, "The small intestine is in charge of digesting emotions as well as food and is known as the Abdominal Brain... involved with nourishment at all levels - emotional, mental and spiritual." Harper offers plans for strengthening each organ using acupressure, acupuncture, Bach flower remedies, herbs, diet and positive affirmations.' - Publisher's Weekly.
