Discovering the Bodys Wisdom by
Mirka Knaster
Body Wisdom Makes Choosing Body Work Better!
There are so many different kinds of bodywork available these days, many
people find it hard to choose. Massage therapist and health writer Mirka
Knasters comprehensive book is a good place to start. She covers just
about everything in both the Eastern and Western traditions--from various
types of yoga, martial arts, and massage to newer practices such as
Rolfing and the Alexander Technique to esoteric movement and touching
practices of which most people have never even heard. The one thing all
these techniques have in common is that they seek to bring healing and
self-discovery through physical practices. Many people first turn to
bodyways because the pain of an injury or chronic condition forces them
to seek alternatives, Knaster writes. The other motivation ... comes from a
natural drive toward healthy or optional functioning. Either way, she says,
these practices help us overcome our disconnection from our body and
our feelings. It would be hard to overstate how much sheer information is
supplied in this book. Not only does Knaster describe each technique and

explain what its supposed to do for you, she gives its history and a brief
biography of the inventors, along with addresses and phone numbers for
obtaining more information. A chapter on working with a given practitioner
helps answer the multitude of questions readers are likely to have: How
do you know if he or she is properly trained? How should you feel after a
session? What do you do if your relationship with the practitioner seems
too intimate or even improper? While anyone looking to get involved with
a given technique would do well to find books that discuss it in greater
depth, some may find that Discovering the Bodys Wisdom already
provides everything they need. Either way, its a fascinating book, and a
great reference to keep around.
Personal Review: Discovering the Bodys Wisdom by Mirka
Knaster
This product is a must read for practitioner and client. It is filled with
information to ask a practitioner before getting any type of bodywork.
Information such as education, years experience, licensing, and so on. It
also provides hints to receiving the best massage, reflexology, and other
treatment for stress relief and health. For the practitoner it educates on
ambience, dress, professionalism, and safety to insure a good experinece
for the client. As a reflexologist, I found the scenarios presented humorous
and helpful. I wanted to know how to enhance my practice through
brochures, definitions of various types of body work for my position as a
Delaware Board Massage/Bodywork member to use as we review law and
make changes. It has great descriptions as to what each body
wisdom/work is which helps all concerned. I highly recommend this book
even though it has been around for a while, it is very informative.
