My colleague Beth and I would like to introduce the third of our videos drawing on the fundamentals of Rolfing to provide actionable tips to improve balance and posture in essential movements of the human body. Some hallmarks of good posture are ease, verticality, and quality of respiration. We hope that you enjoy and find benefit this video. If you have any questions or you would like to see a particular topic covered, let us know!

Dear friends,

I offer another variation on the theme of Gravity. In this video, I have tried to show a way to connect the idea of Gravity to the somatic experience of it. I hope that something I have said can be helpful for you and inspire you to new explorations.

Warmly,
Max

Dear friends,

I spoke earlier today about Gravity and how it can serve to draw us into more harmonious alignment. As is so often the case, many birds came to perch once I left the branch, and I found it difficult to let them fly off without mention. In this video I have tried to say a little bit more about how we may begin to enter into the experience of relating to Gravity as an ordering principle and not a chore.

Warmly,
Max

Dear friends,

I offer another “lockdown-video” in the spirit of maintaining communication while under the constraints of the Corona-phenomenon. Ida Rolf once said that, “for the integrated body, Gravity is the therapist.” What did she mean? In this video, I tried to offer the very beginning of what could eventually become an answer. I tried to describe some ways in which the philosophy behind Rolfing is consistent with the method on the one hand and with basic facts of life that we all share, on the other. I hope some find this video helpful and inspiring.

Until we meet again,
Max

Dear friends,

As a way of maintaining contact during these strange times, I have been discussing different elements of Rolfing in the format of recorded videos. In this video I attempted to convey one way that Rolfing is different than many other kinds of therapy. I hope you will find something that I said to be helpful.

Warmly,
Max

Dear friends,

I wished to add a few brush strokes to clarify the picture that we have been painting over the last videos. In this video I spoke a little bit about how Rolfing is different than many other kinds of therapy. I tried to show how the analogies of the river and the tree both help to reveal this difference, but also fall short of revealing it. I hope you may find something I said to be helpful.

Until we meet again,
Max

Dear friends,

I wished to follow up on some of the ideas that I introduced in the first video and attempted to illustrate in the second and make an important distinction between the analogies that I offered and the reality that they are meant to represent. “The map is not the territory,” as Ida Rolf was fond of saying (in quotation of Korzybski). I hope that something that I say can inspire you to further clarity and understanding. 

Warmly,
Max
