What intelligence orchestrates these micro-dramas within us? Body Eloquence is a thrilling read, guiding us into the cornucopia of poetic relationships that reside in the human body. Its thesis is that every organ embodies a purpose and has an influence that goes far beyond its biological function. Every organ is as vitally connected with psyche and spirit as it is with blood and oxygen. As every organ contributes to your life story, it embodies a specific theme, holding its important piece in the cosmos’ great mysteries. The heart is not merely a remarkably durable pump. It is the embodiment of good will, send- ing nourishment to every fiber of your body and being, the receptor of “heart-to-heart” connec- tions with those you love, and the organ of an openhearted embrace of the world around you. But if its influence is too strong, if you are too openhearted, you are overly vulnerable to the slings and arrows from within and from without that cause heartache, that break the heart and its spirit. If its influence is too weak, if you become small-hearted, you move through the world with the miserly constrictions that reflect a body in which not enough oxygen can flow. The kidneys are not just organs of purification, filtering the blood and transporting toxins from our bodies. As Nancy Mellon shows, they inhabit the deep interior worlds within us, nour- ishing our life stories with philosophical depth and transcendental understanding. The pancreas and spleen not only process and balance the blood; people who are strong in this energy bring a sweetness to life and impart stability to others. Foreword vii For every organ, this book provides not just these broad-stroke simplifications, but a depth and richness that will help you comprehend the organ and its themes in ways that will change how you think about not only your body and its parts, but also your place in the universe. By understanding the great themes of life according to each organ when it is in perfect balance and harmony as well as when it is not, the big questions of psychology and philosophy become pal- pable, soul-sized dramas set in the tangible theatre of a body trying to thrive. Nancy Mellon draws together science, medicine, mythology, and healing traditions in tell- ing the story of every organ and the energies (which travel throughout the body along pathways known in traditional Chinese medicine as meridians) that govern it. You will relate to these sto- ries intuitively and instantly, and you will be changed. I will request of all my students and sug- gest to all the practitioners of the healing arts I know that they read this beautiful and profound exposition. The eloquence of your body and its organs is the voice of creation speaking to you directly and uniquely. This book shows you how to decipher its language. It also instructs you in how to engage in rich dialogue that informs, directs, and heals your body and its organs. Storytelling goes in both directions. Not only does every organ have a story to tell, your body also resonates with the sounds of the stories conjured by your imagination. Even your cells respond. Whereas our inner talk is usually from our mind to our mind, story speaks to every level of our humanity. As Nancy Mellon explains, great storytellers reach out “with their voices to respond to the secret dreams and struggles of human beings and all living things.” This is a book that teaches you about the great storyteller that dwells within each of us, ad- dressing at once the grand themes of Heaven and Earth and the perpetual conflicts among our organs, the product of our day-to-day adjustments to the planet. It is a book that teaches you to be attuned to the spectacular dramas within, finding the stories that complete what is unfinished, that right what has been wronged, and that move us further along, and with greater conscious- ness, on this journey we call life. Donna Eden Author, Energy Medicine November 2007 viii Body Eloquence Acknowledgments This book could not have been written without the inquisitive genius and generosity of Bob Cooley, and those who attended his Meridian Stretching Center in Boston, Massachusetts, from 1991 to 1997. Bob’s stamina for exploring each of the territories in this book during that time greatly informed and inspired my own. Ashley Ramsden’s countless tales, spun with warmth and amazing ease, demonstrate how stories resonate simultaneously within body and soul, mind and spirit. The hospitality of various learning centers, especially Emerson College in Sussex, UK, and many inspiring students, clients, friends, and colleagues continue to help this work evolve. John Docherty, Antoinette Botsford, Harvey Zarren, Sharon Sassaman, Sidora Ziegler, Jeff Imperato, Sonia Story, Davina Muse, Zoe Weil, Katrina Lewers, Ramsay Raymond, and Equanimiti Joy generously read the book as it evolved. Dirk Kelder and Livia Morvay also offered many helpful insights and technical skills. When what is presented here does not accord with traditional teachings or with your per- sonal beliefs, I hope that you will nevertheless enjoy and benefit from these explorations, and further them. Many Eastern and Western spiritual and medical teachings, especially those of Rudolf Steiner, inspired me to question how nature and the greater cosmos weave within every detail of the human form, and awaken consciousness. In this study of the body’s wisdom, I am also very grateful for my experiences with eurythmy, yoga, storytelling, healing through the arts, and energy medicine — and to my family and dear friends near and far who are not already mentioned here. Acknowledgments ix Introduction For thousands of years, the storytellers and philosophers of India have shared the image of a boundless net stretched across the skies above the palace of Indra, the supreme ruler of the gods of ancient India. At every crossing point of this net shines a jewel. Each unique jewel mirrors every other jewel. The tale of Indra’s net tells us in mythic pictures what science is discovering today: that all is connected within us and outside us in the greater universe. This book invites you to experience your body as a whole through stories, and to discover that each part is in continu- ous communion with all the others, with your whole soul, and with far-reaching spiritual dimen- sions of who we are all together in an evolving universe. It is a celebration of the very evolved and inspirational community within us all. Because every part of the body is closely connected with every other part, this book is in- tended to be read as a whole. As humanity grows closer together, everyone’s body listens to the unfolding human saga in order to discover new pathways to mutual acceptance and understand- ing. Our organs are gathering places of wisdom, continuously cooperating below the surface of our consciousness. I believe that it is very important for us to listen more closely to all of them. Organized and perfected over long cycles of time, they are the physical-spiritual crucible for our personal and communal human evolution. Each organic pattern can awaken vast new under- standing and inspiration for relating to ourselves and to each other.

  • Teacher Feature and Ashtanga Yoga Standing Poses by Caroline
    TEACHER OF THE MONTH I’ve been practicing and teaching Ashtanga yoga for almost 20 years and have taught workshops, retreats and teacher trainings across the world. I started teaching workshops internationally in Caroline 2002 and taught workshops in Vienna, Prague, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, the UK, Barcelona, Singapore, Bangkok, Kenya and other locations around the world. The first yoga retreat I lead was Klebl a yoga safari retreat in Tanzania. Additionally, I led yoga retreats in Ibiza and Bali. When yoga centres requested I teach yoga teacher training courses, I developed a week-long program, which I taught in South Africa, Jakarta, Dubai and Kuala Lumpur. In 2008, I developed 200 and 500-hour yoga teacher training programs, which meet the international yoga teacher training standards of the yoga alliance. I conducted my first yoga teacher training retreat in Bali. Since this course was a wonderful success, I continued teaching yoga teacher training programs in Bali, Costa Rica, Hawaii, Brazil, Jamaica, Greece, Italy, India, Mexico, San Francisco, Chicago and Los Angeles. My yoga teacher trainings are open to yoga teachers, aspiring teachers and to those who would like to learn Ashtanga yoga or improve their yoga practice. I’ve trained over 200 yoga teachers in Los Angeles, in addition to the 250 yoga teachers I trained on retreat courses. Graduates of my courses teach yoga all over the world. I teach Ashtanga yoga, a Vinyasa based yoga asana practice, which includes hundreds of yoga poses that are divided into the primary, intermediate and advanced series. Vinyasa are breath-initiated movements, which connect one pose to the next.

  • Folding Into Fall: How to Sequence a Forward Bend Practice the Key Elements of Forward Bending
    Folding into Fall: How to Sequence a Forward Bend Practice Just as trees are stripped of their leaves in Autumn, so too can we be stripped of all that is covering up our authentic selves—to let go of that which is no longer useful and go forward, to discover and unabashedly embrace what we truly feel passionate about. One of the ways we are able to bare our authentic selves is to move inward. Forward bends are the pinnacle poses of self-reflection. Forward bends are the pinnacle poses of self-reflection. Practicing and finding comfort maintaining a forward bend takes time and patience. As you move into a forward bend, your head is last to go, finally bowing down toward the body or the floor, drawing your attention away from the busy world around you. In fact, without being prompted, many students naturally close their eyes in forward bends to turn their attention inward even more, perhaps further revealing the introspective effect of these poses. Yoga teachers who are interested in teaching forward bend practices can utilize the following tips to enhance their sequencing skills and to bring students deeper into the reflective practice of folding forward. As a yoga student, you can use these same steps to help structure your home practice and to safely explore calming, grounding poses that help you to slow down and turn away from the hustle and bustle of the external world. The Key Elements of Forward Bending Exploring the Anterior Tilt There are a few important aspects of alignment that should be addressed when sequencing toward forward bends.
