About the Articles

These articles are a record of some of my findings — both in examining the scientific literature and in working with the nervous systems of my clients.

For prospective clients who are interested in a more consumer-oriented perspective, I’d recommend “Inflamed Nerves Rule“. It will give the information you need without forcing you to learn another language.

The remaining three are written with the practitioner in mind. “Inflammation and Arborization” is, perhaps, the most accessible, and “Nerves and Structure” is the most technical.

I hope you find them informative and stimulating.

The time is near for InsideSI to come back online.

Dan Bienenfeld has spent over 30 years as a practitioner, trainer, and teacher in the field of SI. He just published “Align for Life” – a methodical and definitive guide to optimizing the Structural Integration process. He talks about the book, and a free teleconference to be held 10/12, at 7 pm PST. Contact Michael  at mkastris@cox.net to register.

Below is a letter from Dan:

Dear fellow SI practitioner: I began my studies in SI in 1978, and have practiced and taught SI over the past 30 years. I have finally developed a client’s guide to the process of SI that I am very proud of. AS you know, being a practitioner of SI requires a great deal of skill and flexibility, because not only is our work complex, but we also work with so many different types of people. There is often that challenge of finding ways to have our clients experience the work at deeper and deeper levels, yet we can never really know what they will take home with them. The power of SI does not come all at once, the series can be just the beginning. The principles of SI must be practiced in the lives of our clients if it is truly a process work doing. Learning the principles requires teachings: Align For Life, Journey to Structural Integration is a tool for practitioners and their clients to use as a guide throughout the process of SI.. This tool will: *increase your client’s structural awareness from 0 to 100. *Suppliment your client’s SI and make your job easier. *Increase your business, because your work will last. 200 beautifully illustrated pages of theory, lessons, a self-evaluation process, complete with journal to track the results of the process. Illustrated and designed by Art Ellis, who designed over 500 books for Disney. Ida Rolf intended that our work be educational in nature, which involves more than just passive sessions. Journey to Structural Integration offers clients to learn, practice, and integrate the life giving principles that SI has to offer, along with revolutionary and transformational tools that will change their lives! As you know, our work can be quite beneficial, but why not make it completely transformational? The difference is in the integration. Living SI requires our clients to learn how to apply SI to their lives, and this is not always possible to teach on the table. This is why I created this tool. I would like to invite you to experience Align for Life, so please come visit my website

Sincelery,

Dan Bienenfeld

Jeff Linn’s interview explores where the recipe came from. The Guild is sponsoring a workshop with Jeff Linn in Salt Lake City from

Dec 4-9.  The theme of this six day workshop is ‘Integration De-Mystified’

and participant’s will explore the three series as both a completion of the

ten series and a classic approach to post-ten work.  Practitioner’s will

exchange sessions and work with outside models. Jeff will draw from his

extensive knowledge of Dr. Rolf’s teaching from his time working with the

Rolf audio archive as well as his background teaching Structural

Integration since 1993 and general bodywork since 1988.  Come prepared to

learn more about work from the bench as well as exploring and refining body

usage and client participation. Bring your thought’s and questions about

the work and dive deep into Jeff’s uniquely informed perspective. For more

information about the workshop you can contact Jeff at

jeff@yogabodywork.net. For logistical information or to enroll contact

Susan Melchior (susan@rolfguild.org) or Cristina Bordes

(cristina@rolfguild.org) at the Guild for Structural Integration.

Jeff Linn is an Advanced Certified Practitioner of the Rolf Method and

currently an instructor at the Guild for Structural Integration teaching

basic and advanced SI. Prior to his faculty position at the Guild he taught

Structural Integration at the International Professional School of Bodywork

- Ipsb. He has studied the Rolf work extensively with Ed Maupin, Emmett

Hutchins, Peter Melchior and a host of other notable (and obscure) teachers

and practitioners. He graduated from Ipsb’s bodywork program with his

specialization in Structural Integration in 1987 (when it was still the

little hippie school). He attended the Guild in ‘93 (with Advanced

certification in ‘95) and the Rolf Institute in ‘97.

Greetings,

If you have heard of the IASI, then please help us thank Marilyn Beech.
For the last 7 years, from an idea, to it’s present incarnation as the professional membership organization for Structural Integrators worldwide, Marilyn has been at the helm of the IASI. As one the initial organizers and first board members, executive director, president, SI yearbook editor, newsletter organizer, symposium organizer, and much more, Marilyn has devoted countless hours, and a huge amount of energy allowing us to get to where we are. Today the heirs of Dr. Rolf, SI professionals the world over, are together, under one umbrella; part of a networking community that can grow, argue, evolve, and learn from each other, thus, allowing this profession to stay strong. We can be extremely proud of the Certification Exam for SI, which is a major milestone in SI getting the attention of other professions, government agencies, and the general public. “The lost tribes”, are mature, self-organizing, and responsible for the state of our profession and the practitioners.
 
The significance of Marilyn’s involvement and actions cannot be measured. As she prepares to step aside as President of the IASI, it is our honor to thank her for all that she has done. The most meaningful gift we could think of was a personal thank you from all the members of our profession of Structural Integration that Marilyn has done so much for. This is a surprise, so we cannot let Marilyn find out. If you would send an email to  <thanksmarilyn@yahoo.com>  with a thank you, or whatever you want to say – we will surprise Marilyn at the SI Faculty meeting, Aug 29 with the notes.. This is a surprise, and we will need your help to make it happen. Please send a note today to thanksmarilyn@yahoo.com, and forward this to letter to any others in the SI world, we can let Marilyn know that the we acknowledge and appreciate all that she has done.

We will present all the thank you notes Friday, so email a note now!
 
Thank you
