Download or read book Watsu written by Harold Dull and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about water, about our bodies in water and how, floating and stretching one another to our shared breathing pattern, we achieve new levels of peace and oneness. Many consider Watsu the most significant advance in bodywork in our times. While other forms are based on touch, Watsu creates a more profound connection through the holding and the deep connection with the breath that being in water facilitates. The trust established combines with the relaxing effects of warm water and Watsu's moves and stretches to create a modality of extraordinary depth that has both specific therapeutic results and healing on many levels. Besides having countless applications in therapy, it brings new depths of 'connection' into the lives of the many sharing its simpler moves with family and friends. This third edition completes the first 25-year evolution of what came into being when Harold Dull started floating people at Harbin Hot Springs in Northern California, applying the stretches of the Zen Shiatsu he had studied in Japan. It illustrates, step by step, the major positions and forms of Watsu. It introduces Watsuchanics (the body mechanics of Watsu) and other developments that help students learn Watsu. More than sixteen therapists and practitioners have added contributions detailing the use of Watsu with all ages and the growing number of conditions that Watsu is proving to alleviate in clinics and spas around the world. New chapters feature Watsu with children and a form of Watsu that can be used in home spa/hot tubs. Also illustrated step by step is a complete form of Tantsu which brings Watsu's nurturing power back onto land. More than a thousand images have gone into this book to give as clear an illustration as possible of the movements and forms of Watsu and Tantsu.

Download or read book Watsu Basic and Explorer Paths written by Harold Dull and published by . This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces Watsu(r), the world's first Aquatic Bodywork, and the newest forms of Explorer and Tandem Watsu, as well as Tantsuyoga which brings Watsu's unconditional holding and the movement of water onto land. Watsu is the practice of floating and stretching people in warm water in a way that creates enough safety in our arms for them to access whatever level of being they need to free and heal. Watsu has taken the lead in aquatic therapy and stress reduction in clinics and spas around the world. This book's new Basic Watsu is both a path in itself for exploring new ways of being with family and friends and a possible first step to a professional path. It is based on a simple progression of moves that follow and deepen the connection of your breathing, and moves that awaken and engage the movement within. This progression, and how to maintain someone comfortably supported and aligned (as well as yourself) can be learned in two days of instruction. Once learned, the more you share on this Basic path, the more you will find your connection to others reaching new levels. This book also introduces the moves of the next step on the professional path, the Transition Flow, which is the rest of what is taught in our Watsu 1 intensives. Another path introduced in this book complements both the Basic and Practitioner paths. Instead of a progression or a form it presents a format for meetings in which three from any level of Watsu explore its potential together. This book presents themes, one of which each brings to a meeting. Sharing feedback and suggestions, the three explore as a team the principles and the applications of each's theme, which is usually a move or a way of using one's own body. Then each enjoys receiving a complete session in a Round in which the first of the other two starts from the first side incorporating his theme into the flow, the second continues from the second incorporating her theme. Then the two float and stretch the receiver between them. This last part was so powerful that it led to new form of Watsu, Tandem Watsu, that is now introduced in this book. Being floated between two, whatever is released by the now fully supported stretches is contained and circulates within to wherever it is needed. The power of three discovered in this book's Explorer and Tandem Watsu is now brought onto land in its Tantsuyoga. Besides introducing how to share with one other, this fifth edition presents all the steps of the new Flower Rounds in which the support of the third allows the holder to keep his eyes closed and engage his breath so deeply he can celebrate seven stages of union (Yoga means union). See Tantsuyoga.com. This book also introduces how to bring Tantsuyoga into Yoga classes. Our goal is a world in which everybody can unconditionally hold each other. Harold Dull started developing Watsu over 30 years ago, floating and stretching his Zen Shiatsu students in a warm pool in Northern California. At that time he started Tantsu(r) (Watsu on land) which has evolved into the Tantsuyoga in this book. A poet in the San Francisco Renaissance, Harold enjoys continuing to share how this book's forms evolve through its five editions. Harold has taught in more than 25 countries. Students from more than 60 countries have studied Wa

Download or read book Cerebral Palsy written by Freeman Miller and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2006-05-08 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a child has a health problem, parents want answers. But when a child has cerebral palsy, the answers don't come quickly. A diagnosis of this complex group of chronic conditions affecting movement and coordination is difficult to make and is typically delayed until the child is eighteen months old. Although the condition may be mild or severe, even general predictions about long-term prognosis seldom come before the child's second birthday. Written by a team of experts associated with the Cerebral Palsy Program at the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, this authoritative resource provides parents and families with vital information that can help them cope with uncertainty. Thoroughly updated and revised to incorporate the latest medical advances, the second edition is a comprehensive guide to cerebral palsy. The book is organized into three parts. In the first, the authors describe specific patterns of involvement (hemiplegia, diplegia, quadriplegia), explain the medical and psychosocial implications of these conditions, and tell parents how to be effective advocates for their child. In the second part, the authors provide a wealth of practical advice about caregiving from nutrition to mobility. Part three features an extensive alphabetically arranged encyclopedia that defines and describes medical terms and diagnoses, medical and surgical procedures, and orthopedic and other assistive devices. Also included are lists of resources and recommended reading.

Download or read book Complementary and Alternative Medicine in the United States written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-04-13 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integration of complementary and alternative medicine therapies (CAM) with conventional medicine is occurring in hospitals and physicians offices, health maintenance organizations (HMOs) are covering CAM therapies, insurance coverage for CAM is increasing, and integrative medicine centers and clinics are being established, many with close ties to medical schools and teaching hospitals. In determining what care to provide, the goal should be comprehensive care that uses the best scientific evidence available regarding benefits and harm, encourages a focus on healing, recognizes the importance of compassion and caring, emphasizes the centrality of relationship-based care, encourages patients to share in decision making about therapeutic options, and promotes choices in care that can include complementary therapies where appropriate. Numerous approaches to delivering integrative medicine have evolved. Complementary and Alternative Medicine in the United States identifies an urgent need for health systems research that focuses on identifying the elements of these models, the outcomes of care delivered in these models, and whether these models are cost-effective when compared to conventional practice settings. It outlines areas of research in convention and CAM therapies, ways of integrating these therapies, development of curriculum that provides further education to health professionals, and an amendment of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act to improve quality, accurate labeling, research into use of supplements, incentives for privately funded research into their efficacy, and consumer protection against all potential hazards.
