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 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August 1927, British colonial authorities arrested Hamman Yaji, Emir of Madagali, an infamous slave trader who had terrorized the neighboring montagnard populations of the Northern Cameroons and bedeviled the colonial administrations of three nations. His diary was seized and soon became a fabled document in northern Nigerian history. Written in Arabic and translated into English by a British colonial official, the diary chronicles Hamman Yaji's daily activities between 1912 and 1927. He recorded his daily routine - where he traveled, his slaving raids and slave-trading activities, visitors and gifts received, his relations with friends and family and with the British administration, and his practice of Islam. This rare and remarkable document, made accessible to scholars for the first time since its composition more than seventy-five years ago, is enhanced by a substantial introduction that places Hamman Yaji in historical and cultural perspective and describes the diary's discovery and translation, and its significance for British colonial and West African history.

Download or read book Watsu Basic and Explorer Paths on Land and in Water written by Harold Dull and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1980 Harold Dull began Watsu by floating friends in a warm pool applying the principles and stretches of the Zen Shiatsu he had studied with its creator on land in Japan. Today a hundred authorized instructors teach the Watsu that, with the aid of many, has evolved to help millions of all ages in clinics, spas, and backyard pools around the world. This book illustrates what is taught in their first 50 hours of classes, a simple but complete Watsu that you can share with family and friends. It also introduces Tantsu (Watsu on Land) and an adaptation of Watsu for a home spa. When Harold saw, and experienced, how much Watsu benefits both the holder and the held, he started developing ways these benefits can be accessible to everybody. Tantsu and Tantsuyoga brings Watsu's way of working with the body as a whole and its deep connection through the breath to those without pools. Harold found that helping each other in threes accelerates learning while adding a new level of benefits. This book presents the stages and step-by-step instructions for joining and leading two friends through the complete-in-itself Watsu Round, and/or Tansuyoga. This book introduces the Explorer Path on which watsuers from all levels join and explore moves and themes in teams of three, and in rounds that encourage spontaneity and creativity. In this book's Tandem Watsu, float a third between you. Take turns being the one who supports and the one who explores the powerful stretches the other's support facilitates. Contained between you, whatever the stretches release often finds its way up their spine. A Tandem Tantsuyoga that can be shared anywhere is also introduced. This book also includes the many discoveries made at each stage of Watsu and Tantsu's long development.

Download or read book A Grammar of Kukama Kukamiria written by Rosa Vallejos and published by Brill's Studies in the Indigen. This book was released on 2016 with total page 755 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive description of Kukama-Kukamiria, spoken by about 1000 elders in the Peruvian Amazon. The empirical basis for the grammar is fifteen years of fieldwork, including text data from 36 fluent speakers. Seventeen chapters deal with phonology, morphology, syntax and discourse phenomena. Salient typological features include a robust morphological distinction between male and female speech; the expression of TAM categories via fixed clitics; the encoding of three-place predicates by means of transitive clauses; six directive constructions that distinguish degrees of pragmatic force; and multiple types of purpose clauses that differ in terms of coreference control. This grammar also shows the Tupí-Guarani origin of an important number of Kukama-Kukamiria grammatical structures and advances comparative studies in the region.0.
