In "Relieving Stiffness and Feel Young Again with Undulation" Anita Boser writes that "Life depends on Layers of Rhythms". For those of you who are auditory, you probably always knew this. But you may not have found such eloquent words to express it.

For a kinesethetic, former dancer like me these words are like conceptual candy. I love this phrase. I love thinking about what it means that life depends on 'layers of rhythms' and wondering if I am fully taking advantage of that fact.

The answer is no. I am often wholly unaware of the fact that life depends of layers of rhythms as I sit fixed and fretting at my computer, on the phone or in my car. In fact, I am reminded of Margaret Wheatley's words that we are currently traveling at the 'speed of light' rather than the 'speed of life' and I feel totally culpable. My new I-phone allows me to travel in three different directions faster than my body can burp and folks are complaining that the I-phone is too slow.

While I love my new phone and the technology it possesses, I am aware that we are moving quickly away from living at an organic pace. For this reason, it seems to me that Anita's book is very well timed and much needed. Undulation is an important antidote to sitting around in cyberspace with our computers and our cars (for those of you talking on your cell phone while your drive).

Anita has done a remarkable thing. She has written a simple book about a complex movement. She has given clear directions for doing fluid movement. She has offered clear, simple, concise, easy-to-do exercises for a movement, which is complex, profound, and ephemeral in nature.

Who has not struggled to teach the session six movement lesson finding our client looking at us like we have two heads when we suggest they allow their spine to fully undulate as they walk to the bank or grocery store? Lets face it, it is really hard to do and yet it is basic to our watery composition and essential for our health.

Anita writes with the total beginner in mind. She teaches people how to learn while teaching them what to learn. You can hand this book to anyone from your 90 year old wheel chair bound client to your prima ballerina. I have thought of recommending the book to several of my clients since reading it and cannot wait till I have a few copies to hand out. I think it is a great basic text; the kind of book that belongs on every practitioner's shelf. So when it comes out I recommend buying at least two copies so you can lend one out or sell them often.

I, for one, undulate more since I read it and hope to share the sensation.
