CONTACTS 66 FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Rolfing [SI] is not primarily a psychotherapeutic approach . but [its] effect on the human psyche has been so noteworthy that many people insist on so regarding it. Rolfing [SI] is an approach to the personality through the myofascial collagen components of the physical body. It integrates and balances the so-called “other bodies” of man . modernly designated as the psychological emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects. Ida Rolf In the quote above, from her introduction to the Psychotherapy Handbook (quoted in Rolf 1978, 26), Ida Rolf speaks to the interface of Rolfing® Structural Integration (SI) with psyche and consciousness, our theme for this issue of Structural Integration: The Journal of the Rolf Institute®. What is it that allows our work to address more than physicality, that makes it different from other modalities with more mechanically correlated results? My belief is that we must look to Rolf as a person, her lived knowledge and experience. Rolf’s interest in body structure/function was just one domain in her overarching interest in the human being. Her explorations were intellectual and practical, but also personal and experiential, ranging from her doctoral work in biochemistry to General Semantics to homeopathy to classical tantric yoga to osteopathy to the Gurdjieffian work of J.G. Bennett. Perhaps as a result, the system she developed is holistic in nature and effect. Its entry point is the fascial matrix, and the organization of that biotensegrity structure in relation to the gravity field has the potential to activate / engage / integrate the holism of mind-body-spirit. Rolf’s first students were primarily chiropractors and osteopaths. According to Rosemary Feitis, they “tried to take bits and pieces of her work, not understanding that it was an organic whole” (Rolf 1978, 13). It took the right time and place – Esalen® Institute in the mid-1960s – for Rolf to find students who wanted to learn Rolfing SI as a holistic system. Her work flourished in this crucible of the human potential movement, and it became commonplace to see it elicit change in other layers of consciousness. Again and again it revealed how the body holds traumatic memories, unresolved childhood issues, and the underpinnings of familiar identity. Consider these quotes from Rolf’s teaching (all from Rolf 1978): What we do to a body physically starts to release it emotionally . We take a person along . opening him a little and a little, and all of a sudden he is stuck with something which was an arrested problem or a childhood problem, an early problem (156). We can see where [people’s] bodies are literally offering blocks to the gravitational forces. The gravitational force is immense, and their resistance isn’t much good except to close the body down, compress it. Sometimes the block has been put into the physical picture by a traumatic episode . [and] is in the actual structure, in the flesh of the body. Then there is the kind of block that is basically emotional. Little Jimmy loves Papa. Papa goes along bent over, so Jimmy goes along like that because this allows him to be Papa in his mind. And by and by Jimmy gets a set into his muscular body which he cannot let go of (77). A child may grow bigger, but as long as he’s still stuck in the same child form is it surprising that he should be stuck in his same emotional child thing? It’s worked for him for a long, long time. How does he know that anything else is going to work any better? . And then changes happen through Rolfing [SI], and it begins to be possible for a body to take on what we consider appropriate adult form. Then the person continues on psychologically, and develops (99). The exploration of how the body relates to psychology, and to consciousness in general, remains deeply relevant even though the human potential movement of the 1960s-1970s waned. The questions are still in the culture, whether related to the specificity of something like trauma or to the generality of what it is to be human and to feel fulfilled. Not surprisingly, many Rolfers™ actively explore the domains of psyche and consciousness, so we have numerous contributors to this theme, spanning the global Rolfing community and including practitioners whose tenure goes back to Dr. Rolf; faculty from the Rolf Institute; Rolfers cross-trained as psychotherapists; and others deeply involved in energetic and spiritual explorations of consciousness. We follow our theme of Rolfing SI, Psyche, and Consciousness with our Perspectives section. There Noel Poff discusses his intial concern about Wikipedia’s representation of Rolfing SI, and how he reconciled himself to the amount of research and the efforts it will take for our work to get a certain type of recognition. Next we have Naomi Vincent-Wynter’s interview with Peter Legård Nielsen, a Danish Rolfer who is also an accomplished novelist and literary figure. To accompany the interview, he translated an excerpt from his forthcoming novel, influenced by his life and by Rolfing SI. We close the issue with Szaja Gottlieb’s review of two books concerning gravity: Gravity and the Creation of Self: An Exploration of Self Representations Using Spatial Concepts by Elizabeth Burford and Artificial Gravity edited by Giles Clement and Angie Bukley.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 2007 Contact: Sue Seecof, Rolf Institute, [email protected], 800-530-8875 Alternative Sports Medicine What’s New And How You Can Get Back On Your Feet In No Time Boulder, CO..."Alternative approaches can be helpful for just about any soft tissue injury an athlete’s likely to incur, whether it’s a less-serious acute problem, such as a sprain or pulled hamstring, or a chronic condition such as tendonitis or knee pain." Women’s Outside, Fall ‘99. Kristen Ulmer, former World Champion Extreme skier and U.S. Freestyle Ski team, mogul specialist, who had a series of knee surgeries as a result of injuries and tendonitis says, "After the surgery I had excruciating pain and could not drive or walk." Revered as the "best female Extreme skier" for the past 8-9 years, Ulmer tried Rolfing® bodywork for soft tissue injuries and says it brought her hips and ankles back into alignment, and the pain disappeared. "It healed so fast I can't believe it!" says Kristen. "The expected 6 month recovery time was cut in half, and three months after surgery I was trekking to Cho Oyu on a Himalayan ski expedition." "Ulmer was desperate to find relief from her chronic knee pain. So after her most recent surgery, she rested her knee and signed up for ten Rolfing treatments. By the time she had received Rolfing from head to toe, she was pain-free for the first time in years and is back on the slopes." Women's Sports and Fitness, July ‘99.

Rolf and her life’s work of Structural Integration or Rolfing is a product of early twentieth century American metaphysical thought. Rolfing is an American form of somatic bodywork that strives to overcome the Cartesian mind/body split. Through structural work via manual manipulation, Rolfing attempts to achieve physical health and emotional intelligence. This paper explores four major aspects of Rolfing as American Metaphysical religiosity, as defined by Catherine L. Albanese in Republic of Mind and Spirit: A Cultural History of American Metaphysical Religion. The project also explores the origins of somatic bodywork and the metaphysical idea of spiritual transformation through physical change. The Esalen Institute is examined for its part in developing a secular American metaphysical religiosity that fostered and promoted Rolfing.

  • Complementary and Alternative Medicine
    Corporate Medical Policy Complementary and Alternative Medicine File Name: complementary_and_alternative_medicine Origination: 12/2007 Last CAP Review: 2/2021 Next CAP Review: 2/2022 Last Review: 2/2021 Description of Procedure or Service The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Medicine (NCCIH), a component of the National Institutes of Health, defines complementary, alternative medicine (CAM) as a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional or allopathic medicine. While some scientific evidence exists regarding some CAM therapies, for most there are key questions that are yet to be answered through well-designed scientific studies-questions such as whether these therapies are safe and whether they work for the diseases or medical conditions for which they are used. Complementary medicine is used together with conventional medicine. Complementary medicine proposes to add to a proven medical treatment. Alternative medicine is used in place of conventional medicine. Alternative means the proposed method would possibly replace an already proven and accepted medical intervention. NCCIM classifies CAM therapies into 5 categories or domains: • Whole Medical Systems. These alternative medical systems are built upon complete systems of theory and practice. These systems have evolved apart from, and earlier than, the conventional medical approach used in the U.S. Examples include: homeopathic and naturopathic medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Macrobiotics, Naprapathy and Polarity Therapy. • Mind-Body Medicine. Mind-body interventions use a variety of techniques designed to enhance the mind’s capacity to affect bodily functions and symptoms. Some techniques have become part of mainstream practice, such as patient support groups and cognitive-behavioral therapy.

  • Cults and Cosmic Consciousness: Religious Vision in the American 1960S
    Cults and Cosmic Consciousness: Religious Vision in the American 1960s CAMILLE PAGLIA 1. eclipse by politics Commentary on the 1960s has been mas- sive. Law and politics in that turbulent decade are well doc- umented but remain controversial, and the same thing can be said of contemporary innovations in mass media and the arts. One major area remains ambiguous or poorly assimi- lated, however—the new religious vision, which for a tanta- lizing moment in the American sixties brought East and West together in a progressive cultural synthesis. Its promise was never completely fulfilled, for reasons I will try to sketch here. But the depth and authenticity of that spiritual shift need to be more widely acknowledged. A political model currently governs interpretations of the sixties because of the enduring reform movements born in that period, including environmentalism, feminism, and gay liberation. Their mobilizing energy, as well as the organiza- tional style that would also be adopted by antiwar protests, initially came from the civil rights movement sparked by the us Supreme Court’s 1954 decision declaring segregation in public schools unconstitutional. In that crusade, it must be remembered, ordained Protestant ministers such as Martin Luther King, Jr., played a leading role, as they also had in nineteenth-century abolitionism. The civil rights movement, with its hymns and anthems, appealed not just to secular standards of social justice but to a higher moral code. An expanded version of a lecture delivered on 26 March 2002 at Yale University, sponsored by the Institute for the Advanced Study of Religion at Yale.
