A STUDY OF STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION FROM NEUROMUSCULAR, ENERGY FIELD, AND EMOTIONAL APPROACHES

Clinical evidence, pilot projects, and a prior study provided the techniques and design for this holistic study of Rolfing* (Structural Integration). Reported changes following Rolfing include: greater physical skill, feelings of well-being, emotional calmness, improved sensory awareness, and social interaction, memory recall and psychic experiences resembling other levels of consciousness. Hunt (1977) demonstrated major improvement in muscular efficiency after Rolfing. Weinberg and Hunt (1976) discovered neuromuscular patterns associated with anxiety states. Pilot projects in the Movement Behavior EMG Laboratory produced techniques for recording minute electronic radiations from the body which showed relationships with an "aura reader's" reports of the auric field. http://www.somatics.de/HuntStudy.html (1 of 24) [10/28/2007 8:09:17 AM]
