Neurodynamics: The Art of Mindfulness in Action

Description

This manual on the theory and practice of the use of the body in action guides us in restoring its proper working and how to become more aware and mindful in action. Not just a set of exercises, the study of neurodynamics provides the student with a complete theory of how the body works in action, how to restore this system, and how to gain awareness and control in action--an educational process that can be applied to all activities and forms the foundation for a truly holistic approach to mind-body health.

"Theodore Dimon's introduction of the concept of tensegrity adds a whole new perspective on how the body works. It expands my understanding of the moving body as a holistic system."-Jean E. Sealey, DSc, Professor Emeritus of Medicine in physiology and biophysics, Weill Medical College at Cornell University "Theodore Dimon's work has given me the means to live more mindfully and function more constructively in everything I do, from the most banal activity to the most challenging physical and intellectual pursuits. Neurodynamics is not simply a book, it's a lifestyle."-Serena Woolf, student and teacher of neurodynamics
