The Listening Hand: How to Combine Bodywork, Intuition and Psychotherapy to Release Emotions and Heal the Pain Ilana Rubenfeld
In this text Ilana Rubenfeld outlines her form of psychotherapy: the Rubenfeld Synergy Method. This is a system for healing which integrates touch, talk and intuition and was first created in the 1960s. Memories and emotions stored in our bodies can result in energy blocks and imbalance. The Rubenfeld Synergy utilizes talk, movement, humour and compassionate touch to contact and melt frozen emotions, freeing the body from pain and the mind from tension and suffering. The book includes body-mind exercises which aim to reveal how the body can indicate emotional problems, step-by-step exercises for achieving change and restoring inner harmony, advice on how to improve communication and intimacy in relationships and a 7-day Mind Your Muscles programme for tension release, body alignment and enhanced flexibility.
