Bodywork Pioneer to Guest on Radio Show

Ilana Rubenfeld Ph.D., knows first hand what having a conversation with the body means. A gifted violinist at the Julliard School of Music, Rubenfeld was well on her way to become the first woman conductor in the music scene when a debilitating back spasm cut short her music career.

It was at that point that Rubenfeld turned to the resources of her body and transformed trauma into triumph by embarking on a personal mission to look for answers in the body’s wisdom.

The result is "The Listening Hand: The Rubenfeld Synergy Method of Talk and Touch" which made her a world-recognized pioneer in integrating psychotherapy, bodywork and intuition. “You can learn to develop ‘listening hands’ in order to ‘hear’ changes in the body," she said in a pr.com press release. Talking with the body is the first step toward healing and integration, she adds.

How does one talk with the body? Rubenfeld discusses several ways to open and maintain a steady dialogue with the body. The first way is touch. “Touch,” says Rubenfeld, “is a viable, accurate system of communication.” Think of the sense of security and warmth an infant feels when he is cuddled by his mother. Returning to touch is returning to the body's primal language.
