The work of
Joseph Riggio on AppliedNLP.com
This is Joseph's home website ... you'll find a list of all the upcoming
programs Joseph is doing and where he's doing them ... there are articles,
some audio clips by Joseph, and a private "Access" section you can sign up for
where Joseph puts up new articles before they are posted on the general
site.
The
work of Joseph Campbell
Joseph Campbell is one of the primary sources of Joseph's work that led
to the development of the MythoSelf model, and subsequently to the 'Dance
of the Elements'. This is the site of the Joseph Campbell Foundation a great
source of Joseph Campbell material including audio downloads that are available
to members ... it's a site that's worth the visit.
The
work of F.M. Alexander
F.M. Alexander was one of the very first somatic education pioneers and
the inspiration to others including Moshe Feldenkrais and Thomas Hanna.
Joseph drew heavily from Alexander's concepts on posture, habituation and
inhibition in developing the somatic model that underpins the 'Dance'.
The work of Moshe Feldenkrais - Some Information and Resources
Moshe is a modern pioneer of somatic education, movement studies and
psychosomatic integration. His thinking about the patterns of habituation
stored in movement are seminal pieces of somatic theory. Joseph also draws
heavily from this foundational material.
The work of
Thomas Hanna - Somatics Website
According to Joseph it would be impossible to talk about modern somatic
thinking without including the work of Thomas Hanna ... he says of all the
somatic authors he finds Hanna's work most accessible and directly applicable
for the widest range of people and in the widest range of applications.
The work of Ida
Rolf
Ida Rolf took a different approach to the patterns of limitation embedded
in the somatic experience. Instead of focusing on posture and movement, Rolf
held that the habituation showed up most profoundly in the connective tissue
and developed a technique to release the body from the restraints that show
up in balance, posture and movement limited by connective tissue scaring and
constraints. It's worth taking a look at Rolf's work if you're a student of
somatics.
