Help heal your digestive issues.... January 11, 2009

This book is a very easy guide with helpful instructions and diagrams on how to assist your body with the digestive process. The techniques are comfortable, non-evasive and really help you understand how your digestive system is set up. The emphasis is on breathing techniques the allow you to gently massage your colon, spleen, kidneys and liver and how to get breath into places that you probably haven't felt in a while. I've been fortunate to feel the effects within the first few weeks of owning the book.
I Recommend This Book Highly August 15, 2007

A friend with lots of experience studying these techniques at the Chi Nei Tsang Institute of Berkeley, gave me some sessions. I was surprised to find a book which shows me how to do this for myself. The book explains everything so clearly and presents practical information. "Unwinding the Belly" is a wonderful title for the book. It is easy for me to store some emotional stress of living in today's world in my body, especially my belly. And it is a good way to work with the body and emotions. I can only speak for myself but this book helps me a lot and continues to do so. It deserves every one of the five stars I gave it for excellent quality and simplicity of use. I intend to make these exercises described in the book part of my daily routine.

In a culture where the belly is something to be ashamed of, is supposed to be sucked and tucked in, Unwinding the Belly gently counters some of these societal taboos through self massage and breathing techniques. Allison and Steven in Unwinding the Belly, unravel all the misconceptions people have about their bellies in simple, straight forward and therapeutic language. There are exercises and the benefits are profound. A fabulous read! It is the best massage I ever gave myself! A great present for a friend!

This is a very practical and simple sounding book, but it offers a profound modality to heal one of the most common ailments of our stressed out lifestyles.. that of our digestive system shutting itself down and literally going into knots. This book teaches very simple techniques to un-knot our very complex visceral systems.The diagrams are very graphic and useful in understanding the techniques. I highly recommend this book to anyone interetsed in natural healing.
