In 1977 at Esalen he met Dr. Milton Trager, and began more than 30 years. How did I ﬁnd my way to this profession? In the same way so many of us have- I had training with him, a pursuit that lasted until Dr. Trager’s death in 1998. He is currently a Trager® practitioner with a private practice a massage and it changed me- for the better. Then I had another. And another. You know the rest.

…there are many bodywork modalities that define themselves according to their manipulation of one or another of these systems: energy fields, fluid pulsations, circulation, connective tissue resilience, posture and other aspects of body shape and organ placement, semiconductor effects, sensor experience, memories, and so on.

[But] It seems to me that this is the crucial concept, one that is absolutely necessary to grasp if bodyworkers are to define ...bodywork can so profoundly alter the their profession and its methods in scientifically meaningful shapes, internal relationships and process and popularly understandable ways. The mainstream allopathy of our time primarily presumes a world of of the organism because it supplies what objects, pieces and parts to be added, removed or replaced every self-regulating entity requires: New, in order to relieve concrete physical symptoms. Much has been accomplished in this fashion; every computational more complete, and clearer information. system has hardware that can break down. But a body is not just a collection of anatomical parts; it is a dynamic and continually evolving assembly of information. Information does not “break” and cannot be “fixed.” It is partial or complete, confused or clear, correct or misleading. It can be augmented, amplified, reorganized, reevaluated, refined. Its conundrums are not repaired like a machine or a chip; they are solved like a puzzle. Even a child knows that a bad picture does not necessarily mean that the television needs to be repaired. More often than not it just needs to be adjusted—its information flows reorganized…

And bodywork can so profoundly alter the shapes, internal relationships and process of the organism because it supplies what every self-regulating entity requires: New, more complete, and clearer information. Body-work is information.

And in an informational universe it is no “alternative” to a scientific point of view. It is of the essence in a new science. —By Deane Juhan, “Beyond the Brain: A Body of Information” an essay in Touched by the Goddess, 1994, Barrytown/Station Hill Press
