I’ve been considering rolfing for the past year. Thank you for the post and noting how it relates to practice. I look forward to future posts as you get more work done.

The “rolfer” I spoke with wanted to do 10 sessions with me to get my whole body covered. The sessions were pretty expensive so I probably won’t be doing them until next year sometime.

And to wax philosophic here, if we create the self through some process of individuation and that process creates tension then the loss of tension would naturally shuffle off some self. Yeah, that can be scary! But, if it is that individuation process that brings about the self then stepping away from or reversing that individuation process may open us up to a greater union with the world and people around us.

What a wonderful opportunity! I look forward to reading how this goes for you. ~G

I’ve done one session. Perhaps a bit quick to declare it a success, huh? The book “Spacious Body: Explorations in Somatic Ontology” is about Rolfing, and pretty interesting. The practitioner I go to is known for being very gentle–not sure if your reluctance has been about pain, but it is possible to have Rolfing without pain.

How many rolfing sessions have you done? I was thinking about trying it but for some reason am hesitant…

and I think if the tension goes away you might even find more of your self..
