This comprehensive guide introduces Body-Mind Centering, the
internationally recognized field pioneered by dancer and
occupational therapist Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen. Devoting
thirty-five years to a systematic investigation of the relations
between bodily experience and the anatomical maps of science,
Bainbridge Cohen independently discovered many of the principles
that underlie Feldenkrais work, cranial osteopathy, Rolfing, dance
therapy, and Zero Balancing. Experienced BMC practitioner Linda
Hartley demonstrates the basic philosophy and key elements of
Body-Mind Centering. Drawing on animal and infant movements, she
takes readers through the wondrous realms of Bainbridge Cohen's
pantheon--from the 'minds' of the skeletal and muscular systems to
the quite different inner lives of digestive, lymphatic, urinary,
respiratory, vocal, circulatory, endocrine, and reproductive
organs. Her choreography ultimately brings us into the states of
consciousness of skins, cells, blood, fat, cerebrospinal fluid,
nervous system, and brain. Hartley's explorations of the images,
feelings, sensations, and intuitions of the diverse organs and
cells lead to exercises that gently guide students in ways of
discovering and integrating their bodies' multidimensional aspects.
