How can you tell an "older" person at a distance?
It's by how they stand and move, isn't it?

Would you like to have the physical prowess you had
when you were years younger? Would you like
people to see it in how you stand and move?

D
id you know that the loss of physical prowess - the physical
pains of aging and injury, back trouble, bursitis, and morning
stiffness - come largely from tension habits developed over a
lifetime? Did you know that years of chronic tension can be
erased by improving the mind-body connection? Did you
know that you can regain the freedom and grace you had when
you were years younger and continue to improve as you get
older?

Body Meditations comes from a breakthrough in mind-body
integration.

In Body Meditations, Lawrence Gold, a certified somatic
educator, guides you from pain and limitation to comfort and
freedom through physical and attentional exercises that restore
the freedom and strength of your younger years.

Body Meditations consists of eleven guided sessions. With
them, you can improve your physical functioning and get
relief from many types of chronic injuries.

Do Body Meditations and improve your physical prowess
beyond your expectations.

... from Session 1
P
eople have one universal response to injury: we
tighten up. We protect our injury. Another name for
this is guarding. We have the same response to other
stressful situations. We tighten up and protect
ourselves.
To continue self-protection longer than
necessary leads to tension habits, which in turn lead
to chronic muscular fatigue, pain, stiffness, pinched
nerves, joint damage, and other ills. Our self-
protection becomes the source of our ills. It is not the
passage of time, but the accumulated effects of injury,
that cause many of the signs of aging.
The body meditations are based upon a basic
breakthrough in reversing the effects of aging on
physical comfort and freedom of movement. They
provide a way to discover and release obsolete
tension habits, regardless of how old they are and
regardless of how long we have been in pain. With
body meditations, you can erase chronic pains that
have persisted for years, seemingly miraculously – or
at least unexpectedly. You can regain the freedom of
movement you had when you were younger.

It’s more

than what we do.

It’s also

how we do it.

Many people regard meditation as an inward thing, a route to passivity.
That is a partial view often presented
in a culture over-involved with externals:
meditation as “the art of relaxation”.
But relaxation and activity are two sides of one continuum.
Body Meditations have a larger purpose: self-mastery of the body-mind.
Self-mastery is the ability to do what you intend to do
and not to do what you do not intend to do. It is balance.

The statements and promises made here are sincere, the results, actual.
Apply your attention to what is written herein.
Do it exactly as described.
Act on purpose. On purpose.

INTRODUCTION

In Body Meditations, you will improve how you look, feel and
function. You will gain these improvements from sensation-
producing movement sequences that improve the mind-body
-
connection. You will find that you feel different and more like
yourself.

The Body Meditations have some surprises in store for you. They
enable you to transform yourself in ways you had no idea existed
or could exist. They may be seen as acts of alchemy: from the
dross of pain and limitation, you create the gold of comfort and
freedom - using nothing but acts made potent by your attention
and intention. They are meditations on the human form with
tangible results.
