Body and Emotions

[massagengel]

Hey everyone.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a few books and/or websites on the muscles and their connection to emotions. And how to release that 'stored' energy/emotion from the muscle.

Any and all help is appreciated.

TIA
Marcy

Not quite sure if this is what you are looking for, but it may get you started:

This is some of Donna Eden's stuff:

and Barbara Brennan:

http://www.barbarabrennan.com/onlinesto ... store.html

Both are more energy work based, but really interesting and useful information.

There is also:

The Psychology of the Body by Elliot Greene

Dychtwald's"Bodymind"is quite interesting also.

"The Ethics of Caring" by Kylea Taylor impresses/infoms me in my work. It gives clear examples of energies/emotions and appropriate responses.
