Books
Here are some books I recommend. You can find them many places online, but I encourage you to buy them from local and independently-owned bookstores whenever possible. Most of the links below take you to the University Bookstore, a locally owned store that offers free shipping.
Structural Integration
Hellerwork Client Handbook
This is a basic outline of the anatomy and themes of the Structural Integration Series. Hellerwork uses 11 sections, and Structural Medicine uses a 12-section framework.
Bodymind by Ken Dychtwald
This book, from head to toe, describes many approaches to the body-mind connection.
Bodywise by Joseph Heller
This book offers a more in-depth look at the Structural Integration series.
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Daring Greatly by Brené Brown
Brené Brown explores vulnerability as a strength, instead of a weakness, one which leads us to greater connection. I like how the author discusses aligning self-worth with one’s values.
Peace is Every Step by Thich Nhat Hanh
Thoughtful instruction and reflection on the practice of mindfulness to bring more peace and fulfillment to one’s daily life. I like how the author, a Zen teacher, discusses the relationship between walking and one’s breath.
