Achieving
Human Balance By Aligning Yourself With Gravity
by David Wronski
Finding one’s balance in the world is part and parcel to living well. There is a universal factor for living a well ordered life that is mostly overlooked—the structural balance of the body. Once seen it is forever obvious. Specifically, how well the body stacks up in gravity has a profound, yet underappreciated effect on one’s experience of living, health, and well being. The balance of your body, its verticality and symmetry, determines whether gravity is friend or foe. To ignore this or leave it to chance is to place yourself in default for putting up with chronic pain and stress and living below your potential.
Structural Integration is the name given by Dr. Ida P. Rolf to her original approach to human health and wellness. Structural Integration is about bodily balance, putting the ineluctable relationship we have with the force of gravity to good use—living in simple yet solid balance on this earth, in harmony with earth’s great energy field.

Working The Body With Zen Bodytherapy
by Wildflower
Recently, I experienced a series of
Zentherapy sessions with Hudson area practitioner, Jim LaPeer. I found
each session to be a fascinating process of letting go of not only
physical tension, but mental tension as well. I experienced that when I
hold tension in one area of my body, I also tend to hold tension in
seemingly "unrelated areas." For example, when I consciously
released the tension in my hip, tension in my shoulder or neck would
release simultaneously.
I chose to go through Zen Bodytherapy
because, like so many people these days, I was experiencing a time of
major transition in my life and felt I needed to let go, both physically
and mentally, in order to see clearly what I needed to do. I met Jim
LaPeer at the holistic center, Gentle Currents in Greenland, N.H., where
he was seeing clients and I was offering psychic counseling sessions. One
afternoon we spoke at length about the work he was doing and I decided
that Zen Bodytherapy was just what I needed.

Rolfing®...What
Is It?
by Sharon Sklar
"I hear that it's painful."
"I don't think she could take it!" "I want bodywork
that is less invasive."
This is a lot of what I hear when people
share what they think about Rolfing®. It is my observation that the general
public has the wrong idea of what this work is all about. Educating people
about Rolfing is a very rich and inspiring part of my job. I have been a
Rolfer® for over 15 years.
