The human body has the amazing ability to spontaneously selfheal. However, in an age dominated by one shape--the chair shape--this natural capacity for regeneration is being suppressed. To solve this problem, scientists are studying people of indigenous and traditional cultures who don't share these symptoms of lifestyle-based disease. A remarkable yet simple truth is emerging: without the confines of sitting in one shape all day, and instead moving regularly and resting in active postures, bodies are free to rest naturally and heal. This book explores the practices of people living without chair-based chronic pain, and includes eight shapes essential for healing the human body that replace the chair shape. It demonstrates how reconnecting with ourselves and freeing our bodies from the trappings of modern life can allow us to live a life free from pain.
