PRAISE FOR
HUMANUAL
Based on decades of clinical work and astute exploration, Betsy Polatin has, in this book, created a science-informed, concise, and elegantly practical step-wise guide to finding the space within our bodies for our true selves to exist and to expand. She brings us wisdom much needed in our times.
Gabor Mat, MD, the author of When the Body Says No: Exploring the StressDisease Connection and In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction
The author, Betsy Polatin, takes the reader on a journey of self-discovery, in which we learn how our body moves and relates to gravity. On this journey we uncover our historical choice of either welcoming ourselves into our body or functionally dissociating our sense of self from our physical structure. Humanual teaches us, through processes focused on movement and awareness of our body, that we can reap the benefits of an embodiment celebrating the continuity among our physical structure, our feelings, our creativity, and our spirituality.
Stephen Porges, PhD, the author of The Polyvagal Theory
Betsy Polatin has been studying bodies for 50 yearsfirst her own as a dancer and then how peoples bodies are affected by and affect their emotions and performance. In this intriguing new book, she integrates a wide range of approaches with her own wisdom and offers powerful, body-focused exercises to get to know and heal yourself. In doing so, you will experience and live more of your life from your expanded Self.
Richard Schwartz, PhD, developer of the Internal Family Systems model of psychotherapy
In Humanual, Betsy Polatin invites us into a thrilling journey to living in a body. Her extraordinary understanding and training in multiple disciplines brings a unique integration of body therapy, psychology, trauma treatment, and spirituality. The beauty of Betsys work is that rather than being an abstract expression, it is applicable in everyday life. It will be a book you turn to for thoughtful support and interventions for many years.
Deirdre Fay, LICSW, the author of Becoming Safely Embodied Skills Manual and Attachment-Based Yoga & Meditation for Trauma Recovery
In Humanual, Betsy Polatin provides us with a richly illustrated guided tour to help us connect deeply and consciously to our bodies, minds, souls, and spirits. A dancer by training; a student of movement, music, breath, and meditation; as well as an Alexander Technique Practitioner (among the many disciplines that she has mastered), Betsy in this volume passes on to us the vast wisdom and multiple skills that she acquired over many years working with artists, musicians, and other human beings who are stuck in dysfunctional habits. Humanual shows us how the body is organized to move, create, and adapt. However, sometimes our bodies create patterns that may momentarily allow us to cope, but that, in the long term, can transform into character traits that interfere with lifes satisfaction. Angry people come to live in angry bodies; and frightened people carry their fears in their muscles, sinews, and bones. Every move you make, every thought, manifests as muscular reality. Humanual shows us how to listen to the signals of our bodies, and guides us to shift out of habitual patterns that keep us stuck. This wonderful manual is a trustworthy guide to learn to feel at home within yourself.
Bessel A. van der Kolk, MD, the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma; professor of psychiatry, Boston University School of Medicine
Enjoy this captivating, compelling book, the result of Betsys lifetime of questioning, discovery, and pulling together information and knowing in a clear, unique, and practical way. Betsy guides us as grounded theory supports practice in the artistic work she does as a Master Teacher. The benefit to us all is this soulful offering encompassing neuroscience, mind, body, and spirit, with step-by-step counsel that works. Betsys deep caring for the well-being of everyone on the planet shines through. This book is a gift to us all.
Ian Macnaughton, MBA, PhD, RCC, FEA, SEP; the author of Body, Breath, and Consciousness: A Somatics Anthology
Every once in a while, you find that rare and wonderful book that can truly positively impact your life. This is it. Join Betsy Polatin on this practical and powerful journey to authentically and actively connect to your body, mind, and spirit-self. Her compelling Humanual provided the steps I needed to gracefully reclaim the energy and flexibility of my youth. Take a deep breath and welcome in a revitalized connection to the unity of your being. Fabulous and inspiring book!
Bishop Heather Shea, CEO and Spiritual Director, United Palace of Spiritual Arts
I have seen my technique and sound change tremendously from the time Ive been studying Humanual teachings with Betsy. I consider myself a completely different singer. I have much more confidence on stage and in myself while singing. Many of my fans and teachers have told me they have heard a huge growth as well. We have worked on tools for stage fright, anxiety, grounding ones self, fatigue, and on and on. As a performer who travels all around the world, these are tools I use very frequently. I wonder how I got through my month-long tours before I studied with her! Before studying with Betsy I had no idea what I was doing to produce sound while playing saxophone or singing. Betsy has such an amazing way of explaining this work. I have been learning the importance of listening to my body. The potential of the Humanual teachings for me is endless.
Grace Kelly, world-renowned saxophonist, singer, and composer
In this masterful and encompassing work, Polatin draws on an unparalleled breadth and depth of experienceher work in somatic body practices and the Alexander Technique, yoga, meditation, trauma, breath work, and dance; her long history working with actors and musicians; and her knowledge of neuroscience, biology, physiology, and spiritual practices. Humanual is a remarkable synthesis of this master teacher and somatic body practitioners life of inquiry and practice. Both an inspirational guide and a practical manual, it offers a clear pathway to genuine transformation, healing, living, and being.
Sarah Hickler, MFA, the author of In the Moment: A Practical Guide to Movement and Improvisation for Actors; head of acting, Emerson College
Humanual is a beautifully written masterwork, covering Betsy Polatins 50 years of experience and knowledge as a dancer, seeker, artist, and teacher of somatic methods, blending the power of intuition, curiosity, creativity, and astute observation. In Humanual we have a wonderful encouraging, playful, confidante companion guide for learning the skills and practices that lead to deep understanding of the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual point of balance that brings us to our essence, and our potential to live fully as expanded our selves
