Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your body talks to itself and with its environment every millisecond of every day. Don't you want in on that conversation? It will make a huge difference in how you experience the day. Every type of well-being, whether it's physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual, happens through the body. However, what happens in the body will be according to its programming or conditioning unless we guide and shape its responses. Hundreds of millions of Americans live day by day in preventable chronic pain that limits their ability to work, play, and rest at night. This little known, easy-to-learn method has been around for decades and helped countless people to be empowered to help themselves. Somatic education not only is an invaluable adjunct to whatever workout routine you already have, it can also be used as the foundation of your wellness plan. It uses the body's own communication systems that retrain tension patterns to release, balance, and reset your system. It really works! The principles of this body of work are embedded in osteopathy, chiropractic, t'ai chi and chi kung, meditation, yoga, performing arts, sports, and dance. They all require consciously tuning in and connecting to an aspect of the body and mind in order to optimize its capacity to respond in a harmonious, efficient way. Understanding these principles sets you free to self-regulate and maintain balance on your own. "Somatic Intelligence" embodies the wisdom, tools and principals to tap into the universal field and the inner world of awareness of body/mind, the now and future of medicine, awakening the healer within! Written for professionals and lay persons as well, it is a living, breathing gift to humanity. Suresha's wisdom gift has many times over assisted my own healing, transformation, teaching and healing practice. A blessing Indeed." - Shahido Kempter, M.A., Enicnitas CA, Pilates teacher, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist "In striving for wellness & self-awareness, we must learn to listen to our inner voice. This well-researched, easy-to- implement treatment plan helps us to gain access to this deeper realm to of what it means to be human." Dr. M. Lindauer, B.A., M.Sc., D.C. "Adding Neuromuscular rehabilitation to my skill set has enhanced not only my efficacy as a massage practitioner, but also given my yoga teaching added dimension. Combining yogic based awareness practice into my bodywork, including neuromuscular therapy has furthered that discipline as well. They are well suited for one another." - Mark Kahn, Yoga Instructor and Massage Therapist
