Inhaltsangabe

Structural Integration: The Journal of the Rolf Institute® is the professional journal representing the field of Rolfing® Structural Integration. It has been in continuous publication for some forty years, initially as The Bulletin of Structural Integration and later as Rolf Lines.

This issue of Structural Integration: The Journal of the Rolf Institute®, Volume 46 No. 2 (July 2018), looks at the interface of Rolfing® Structural Integration (SI) with psyche and consciousness. Rolfing SI found a committed audience in the 1960s at Esalen® Institute, a key center for the exploration of mind-body-spirit. Dr. Ida Rolf took great interest in all aspects of the human drama; she believed that the human being was, in a sense, still evolving in both physical uprightness and structure/function as well as in consciousness. Many Rolfing practitioners remain deeply interested in and actively explore these topics, and our issue includes contributors ranging from long-time practitioners whose tenure goes back to Dr. Rolf, to Rolf Institute® faculty, to Rolfers™ cross-trained as psychotherapists, to others deeply involved in energetic and spiritual explorations of consciousness.

Our Perspectives section looks at Wikipedia’s representation of Rolfing SI, and also profiles Peter Legård Nielsen, a Danish Rolfer and novelist. Besides an interview, Nielsen shares with us an excerpt from a forthcoming novel: his most personal to date, and the one most influenced by his life and by Rolfing SI.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

The Rolf Institute® of Structural Integration was established in 1971 by Dr. Ida P. Rolf to carry on the work she originated, the field of structural integration. Dr. Rolf's genius was to consider these two factors in combination - how gravity affects a body's structure and alignment, and the holistic role of fascia (the body's connective tissues) in maintaining the shape and flexibility of the human form. With these concepts, she developed a process for optimizing body posture and structure by aligning and re-organizing the fascia.

The vision of The Rolf Institute is to bring the benefits of Rolfing® Structural Integration to the world. This is accomplished through internationally-recognized certification programs in Rolfing Structural Integration and Rolf Movement® Integration, as well as continuing education programs for practitioners. The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration is the only school that teaches Rolfing Structural Integration and graduates Certified Rolfers™ worldwide. The Rolf Institute also underwrites and promotes research and public education about the benefits of Rolfing SI, including the publication of its scholarly periodical, Structural Integration: The Journal of The Rolf Institute®.
