Body Wisdom: The Use And Training Of The Human Body

As "Body Wisdom" is the universal potential of every human being, indeed the resource of every human being, this work is offered to all and accessible to everyone: rich or poor; man or woman; student or teacher; child or adult; university­ trained or self-­educated. Body Wis­dom is a natural human resource, there to be learned from whether the learner went to the best schools or the worst schools; whether widely traveled or sedately sedentary; whether a laborer, an executive, or an athlete, a physicist, a typist, or an actor; whether in business, office work, nursing, industry, government, education, or the arts. And because Body Wisdom is the only constant — the only value­free —body of knowledge, to which all human beings, by being human, can relate, it is intrinsically cross­cultural. This, then, is a book about the ecology of the human body, the ecology of human potential. This is a book about new languages — new forms of organic communi­cation between ourselves and our bodies; between our voluntary minds and our instincts; between our words and our behavior. This is a book about the potential health, sanity, balance, focus, esthetics, movement, rhythm of the human body, all inherent within the body environment. This is a book about being human.
