  • Embracing the Beast Part 3

    The World of Sleeping Beauty

    In this section we leave the dilemma of the frog body and the princess mind for the moment and take a closer look at the process through which consciousness of bodily injury is denied.  Control of pain is explored through the metaphorical world of the Sleeping Beauty story as well as a revealing and powerful portrayal of one individual’s response to injury and pain from psychologist Jeanne Achterberg’s ‘Imagery in Healing‘.

  • Embracing the Beast Part 1

    Written as an article for Massage Magazine in the early 1990’s, Embracing the Beast has sustained some of the most constant interest of any of my published works.

    Originally intended as information for massage therapists and clients, Embracing the Beast draws upon my experience as a massage practitioner and somatic educator.  It explores how we get disconnected from the body, our stuck relationship with discomfort and pain, and the unexpected pathways that can lead to healing.

In this 15 minute podcast, Matthew describes the…
