The Secret Society of the Body
n this book, Bill Palmer invites us into a different relationship with the body. Drawing on decades of work with Movement Shiatsu and Inner Qigong, he explores how development, movement, touch and awareness reveal an intelligence that is not confined to the brain. The body does not simply obey the mind; it listens, responds, remembers, improvises and seeks harmony.
Through essays, developmental theory, case stories and practical explorations, the book offers a new language for Qi, meridians and bodywork — one that can speak both to East Asian medicine and to contemporary science.
At its heart, this is a book about changing our mindset: from control to collaboration, from treatment to dialogue, from the isolated self to the inner community of the body
