Acknowledgements This book is strongly influenced by various embodiment teachers, particularly Paul Linden of Columbus, USA. I have also tried to credit other individual teachers where I have mentioned their techniques explicitly. Also, in twenty years of studying this content, with similar techniques being invented independently, and with many teachers cross-fertilising, it’s sometimes not clear in my own mind where things came from, so I’d like to apologise if I missed you out! Ultimately, embodiment is universal and I’ve never been a fan of trying to trademark being human, but dif- ferent teachers have worked out different pieces of the puzzle and have their own signature moves, and I would like to bow in their direction.
