The Body Awake

The Body Awake is a podcast for people interested in health and the human body, and in having a conversation beyond the body as merely a machine. It's about what we're made of, how we move, how illness, injury and healing happen, and what we can do with that information to live better lives.

How much suffering and pain — physical or otherwise — is necessary in this lifetime? What role does our will, our longing, to transform play in how we move through that pain? Is moving through pain a grace, or do you need to bust your ass to get it?

Great questions.

Tobin Giblin, a brilliant and talented body-based therapist, and I go deep into these questions and more. Hope you enjoy.

SHOW NOTES

Tobin's website, including access to his free e-book, Emotional Alchemy.

The Presence Process: A Journey Into Present Moment Awareness

 

Aug 7, 2016

Today I chat with Mike Hamm: a bodyworker who's well steeped in current research around bodywork and massage therapy and, most importantly for me, a bright and interesting thinker around what we as practitioners are bringing to the table, so to speak, when we show up to work with people. (You can glean insight from this conversation, though, regardless of what you do for a living.)

SHOW NOTES

Mike's website and current blog, NeuroFascia.com (aka "the most relevant website for anyone who enjoys anything" as he put in when he sent the link, which is of course hilarious and I couldn't not include here)

Massage Therapy Foundation (Mike suggests to check out the free e-books)

ABK's article on MT Process, based on a qualitative study of the MTF's Best Practices Symposium.

GroupHealth study on different types of Massage Therapy for Low Back Pain.
