Movement for Self-Healing: An Essential Resource for Anyone Seeking Wellness

I found this book in its original version 20 plus years ago and found the auther’s life experience facinating. Therefore when I was visiting SF, I signed up to his weekend courses. After practicing the methods he taught for only a little while, one morning after I left home, I suddenly realized that I was driving without wearing my contact lenses but I could see perfectly fine. But I was busy raising two young children then. So after I stopped doing those exercises, my vision became poor again. However I believe that if I had been persistant, I could have lost my eye glasses for good. Recently my vision has worsened due to stress and too many birthdays. I decided to give his method another try. Almost immediately, my vision improved and my shoulder pain lessened. I was so excided, I bought 5 copies as X’mas gifts to people I thought would benefit from reading it.

With all the positive reviews, I had high hope for this book to help someone who injured her back vertebrae a few years ago. While her bone fracture is healing slowly, she's been experiencing constant pain and difficulty in movement since the incident. I read the entire book in one sitting while on a long distance flight, and wished I could return it immediately since I did not find the very few exercises helpful at all... A huge let down!Thankfully, through Amazon I'd found an old classic published in 1999, "Walk Tall" by Sara Meeks that is choked full of practical advice and exercises that address my concern. Quoting "Walk Tall", "What if an old injury starts bothering you? -- As your postural alignment begins to change, symptoms of an old injury, or a condition for which you had surgery, may return. For example, it is common for an old knee injury to resurface. Don't be discouraged. In all likelihood, the old injury did not heal in good alignment. Perhaps it was not treated or, even if it was, there may have been some residual limitation of motion or loss of strength and you have compensated (subconsciously) for the limitation by a change in body alignment, with resultant back pain..." 'Nuff said!

This book is a real deal in improving your overall health, especially with vision. I am the only one who does not wear glasses while everyone else in my family wears them.

A remarkable journey in self-healing with many tips and exercises for improving vision, in particular. . .as well as other conditions.Obviously, this would be valuable supplemental reading for anyone currently dealing with physical issues who are under the care of physicians andcertified body workers. The premise, healing is best done when the patient is creatively engaged in the process, cannot be overstated!

This is an excellent book. I would have been enriched to read this outside of the college course in Wellness I was required to read it for. I will keep this book for my private collection.

I bought this book because I wanted to improve my eyesight. Little did I know that the exercises in this book would improve my overall health. Moving the body in non-habitual ways increases circulation, which enhances health. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in using natural methods to heal the body.

This is a heart warming book about one man's journey into self-healing. In the process, he also learns to help others cure their medical problems. This book is both satisfying and easy to read. It is filled with lots of good take home information that is useful without being preachy.

awesome book a great go to book for alternative healing

A book which can inspire anyone with physical difficulties with hope for improvement. As someone with joint and back problems I have long been on a path of self -help, as the medical community can offer little assistance. I will definitely be incorporating techniques from this book into my repertoire. Meir Scneider clearly sees the close relationship between brain and body and encourages a greater awareness of both. If you follow his advice you should learn to befriend your body and you will be equipped with exercises that will help you reduce pain and move more freely.

good book

Excellent book

This book is a synthesis of all that I have learned from Meir Schneider.If one moves as stated, will have a pretty healthier life.
