Sensorimotor Awareness is a comprehensive course of study on how to heighten kinesthetic awareness and control of the body in action. In this groundbreaking book, Dimon shows us that, by understanding specific bodily systems, it becomes possible to identify what we are doing to interfere with these systems and to become more highly aware in the process. When the musculoskeletal system works according to its natural design, muscles do not strain but are naturally healthy and toned, joints function with maximum ease, breathing is full and unimpeded, and movement is effortless and light. The result is a practical understanding of our potential for gaining greater awareness and control in action as the basis for a new approach to living mindfully and healthfully. Written in a style that is easy to understand and to put into practice, Ted Dimon brings us the first-ever curriculum on kinesthetic education, offering detailed and in-depth experiential procedures and a path toward ongoing learning and self-knowledge.
