Understanding the Messages of Your Body: How to Interpret Physical and Emotional Signals to Achieve Optimal Health

I bought this book over a year ago and have shown to other bodywork professionals. I was already into Barral's way of looking at emotional signals but wanted to see if there was anything I could add to what I knew. JP Barral gives a good all-round perspective upon the subjects he discusses and does so with great sympathy for the human form so, in that sense, will always be a good read and a good perspective to return to time and again. There will always be more digging to do for the eternally curious but this book will remain in my collection as a landmark to return to as I seek to learn more.

I would say that anyone that is interested in the mind/body connection this is a useful read and one that, whilst not making lots of new statements, is one that you will probably find yourself dipping back into when an issue arises and a solution needs to be considered from both mind and body perspectives.

The book arrived very quickly and is very worthwhile!

Great!

good

Ok

The innovative doctor and author, who is probably better known for his textbooks on Visceral Manipulation, has written this book in easy-to-read simple terms for everyone. And what an eye-opener it is. I learned a lot in terms of connectivity and how certain symptoms actually relate to specific organs. It's written with a global perspective on healing the human body (as opposed to restrictive North American training), and offers various avenues of guidance. Having been treated with Visceral Manipulation therapy and seen positive results, I also like that this book helps explain the foundation for the methodology. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the "how's and why's" of body function, as well as the basis for personal self-healing.

This is a GREAT companion book for body workers, especially those practicing any type of visceral work. Very simple language, easily readable by the layperson. Great insights and tips based on Barral's experience and studies for physical and emotional health. Highly recommended.

Very interesting book and easy to read

I have read this book over and over! I have given this book to many patients with different health challenges. I have been told that this book has helped them understand their bodies in a more intimate fashion and help them to move forward!
