Reviews

“Bligny’s respect for body and spirit radiates throughout this fine work. A compendium of the research on the body/mind connection combined with a loving self-help program for greater holistic personal awareness, Bioharmonic Self-Massage is a treasure for both bodywork professionals and lay people alike.”
*Mary Bond, author of The New Rules of Posture*

“Effective for chronic back, neck, and shoulder problems, the movements and stretching exercises of Bioharmonic Self Massage can also be used to increase fluidity of motion, ward off illness, and attain a state of bioharmonic – physical, emotional, mental, and energetic – well being.”
*The Monthly Aspectarian, January 2012*

“Using the power of intention – directed thought aided by expanded awareness of the body – and tennis balls, curtain rods, foam tubes and other common objects to reach hard-to-massage problem areas, Bligny shows how to take inventory of your body, mind and memories, and use the conscious touch of self-massage to remove energy blockages, release trapped emotions and relieve anxieties, stress and muscle tensions, as well as gain stability and strength.”
