Want to Learn More About How to Connect with Your Body?
Our bodies are amazingly sensitive, responsive, intelligent, and self-regulating. It's working on our behalf 24/7 to optimize our ability to do whatever we decide to do, finding the path of least resistance in the nerve pathways to make the patterns as easy and fast as possible. Over time, however, the patterns can become compensatory for old injuries, surgeries, posture, undigested experiences lurking in the tissue, and accumulate in stress or strain patterns. The result is a loss of adaptability and a need to clear, rebalance, and reboot.
Somatic Intelligence book series offers step-by-step explanations of how the body learns and processes information within itself and between itself and the outside world. It describes how the body learns and unlearns patterns. If you want to be pro-active and take preventative measures to clear out the old so your system can effectively process the new, check out these volumes. Volume 4 is more descriptive of how the system works and how to get inside its inner workings in a mindful way - like in chi kung or yin yoga. Volume 5 is full of helpful movements and exercises that can help your body reset each day as it releases tensions in the joints, soft tissue, or energetic pathways that show up in those areas or in organs, mood, and emotional states.
The volumes were written by the owner of Shibui who has been a Somatic Education practitioner for over 25 years and guiding clients through the healing process for even longer. The books are an easy read, but you are also welcome to come in for a jump start to assess where your imbalances are and get recommendations on where in your body to focus the movements, and on which movements to use. Once you get your awareness inside the movements, and build a sensitive listening to your system, your body will show you the rest.
The books are available for sale at Shibui, and via several online booksellers. Volume 4 color is $28.95. black & white $16.95; Volume 5 is $24.95. Booksellers tend to offer a discounted price.
Amazon also carries the books in black & white for Somatic Intelligence, Volume 4 - "What Your Body is Dying for You to Know" at - www.amazon.com/Somatic-Intelligence-What-Every-Dying/dp/1523415517/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1516993527&sr=1-1&keywords=Somatic+Intelligence+Volume+4 or for Somatic Intelligence, Volume 5 - "The Conversation Every Body Wants to Have With You" in color: www.amazon.com/Somatic-Intelligence-Conversation-Every-Wants/dp/1530985269/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1516993720&sr=1-1&keywords=Somatic+Intelligence+Volume+5
Are You Healing from a Sports Injury, Car Accident, or Fall?
What you don't know could hurt you! You might have a head injury that jostled your brain without realizing it. Or, you knew you had a concussion, but didn't know what to do for your brain. After working in a physical therapy clinic, for chiropractors, and at Shibui for many years, I've seen so many instances where there's an injury that doesn't fully resolve. I've also had a few of my own sports injuries and accidents that could get triggered now and then, so the question arose as to how to fully heal. The 'aha' came when I realized that very often the head and neck are involved but don't get treated for the impact to the brain. Also, the lingering symptoms could easily get mistaken for something else and develop into what would have been preventable symptoms, like cognitive decline, mood disorders, headaches, ADD, PTSD, and more.
That's why I wrote this book that I hope you'll take advantage of. It's full of helpful exercises and self-help remedies for the brain. The last chapter is full of exercises that get at those deeper, core layers of fascia that receive forces from accidents and injuries. It is available now online, and at Shibui. Online copies will cost around $28.95 or $18.95 for black & white; on site at Shibui will save you a few dollars at $24.95, and you may order a pdf digital file for $14.95. Shibui currently has both color and b & w copies or you can call (415) 457-0283 (Marin Center for Somatic Education) if you'd like to order a pdf/ebook or have a paperback copy mailed to you or someone you know could benefit from this information. You can just as easily purchase at the spa or have one mailed to you via calling in to order, if that would be better. Your credit card can be processed through Shibui if you prefer not to use paypal. If not, the Book Depository has them on sale also: www.bookdepository.com/Opposing-Gravity-Suresha-Hill/9780996356121?ref=grid-view&qid=1551731589439&sr=1-2

“You’ll definitely want to read this book. So many of us ask ourselves why we’re still in pain, why we’re so mentally and emotionally off-balance, why we can’t get a hold of our life in various ways. This book is a rich tapestry of information which dives deeply into our stressors, injuries, and body systems from cells to organs to brain functioning which contribute to our lack of health and well-being and how we might be able to re-assemble ourselves. Even as we seek help from medical and alternative therapies, we need to go inside and expand our internal awareness and develop greater sensitivity with honest self-discernment. It takes self-seeking and practice. You only have your health and well-being to gain. It’s worth it!”
– Susan Koenig, Hanna Somatic Educator and Instructor
“Suresha’s unique gift is to provide a thorough account of how a somatic educator looks at the world, while telling of her personal journey to health and well-being. This book is a treasure trove of accessible information for the healing arts practitioner and their clients. It gave me many insights into the nature of my own work and what is possible for those who seek guidance, and I’m sure it can be for you and for those you love.”
– Allison Post, co-author of The Gut Wellness Guide
I have had the privilege of having Suresha Hill offer recommendations from her book to help me heal perennial discomfort I have dealt with for quite a while. Using the wise suggestions from her book, the problem has gone away completely, and, more importantly, I have begun to develop practices from reading her book that will benefit me for the rest of my life. She offers many healing practices for the lives we seek to live.”
– Cliff Berrien, Curator of Contemplative Practices, Center for Action
