The Feldenkrais Method is an educational system intended to give individuals a greater functional awareness of the self. The method uses body movement as the primary vehicle for learning in the human organism. It is perhaps due to this focus on body movements that the Feldenkrais Method is often classified as a complementary and alternative medicine. People interested in the Feldenkrais Method are predominantly individuals who either want to improve their movement repertoire (as dancers, musicians, artists), individuals who want to improve their pain or limitations in movement, or individuals who want to use the method as a way to improve their well-being and personal development. Advocates claim the Feldenkrais Method is a very successful approach in cases of movement related pain (e.g. pain in backs, knees, hips, shoulders), and learning better functioning in cases of stroke or cerebral palsy. A central tenet of the method is that improving someone's ability to move can improve their overall well-being; and practitioners of the Method generally refrain from referring to conceptions of illness, diagnosis or therapy. ...more on Wikipedia about "Feldenkrais method"

It is described by the original developers as "therapeutic magic" and "the study of the structure of subjective experience" (Sharpley 1987) (Dilts et al 1980), and is predicated upon the assumption that all behaviors have a practically determinable structure (Grinder & Bandler 1975a; ** ). ...more on Wikipedia about "Neuro-linguistic programming/Working"

A Psychosomatic illness is an illness which exists because of a particular reason. "Psycho-" means of the mind and "-somatic" means of the body. The body and mind are together interacting. That is the meaning of the word. An illness produced by or maintained by the interaction is properly called a psychosomatic illness. In some instances a psychosomatic illness might otherwise become cured but for the interaction of mind and body. An example of this situation are the things like stomach ulcers that are more often found in high stress jobs than elsewhere. If a medical examination can find no physical or organic cause, if an illness appears to result from emotional conditions such as anger, anxiety, depression and guilt then it might be classified psychosomatic. ...more on Wikipedia about "Psychosomatic illness"

Waking the Tiger is a self-help book by Peter A. Levine which presents therapeutic advice for healing past traumas. The techniques presented in the book are based on Somatic Experiencing, the naturalistic therapy developed by Levine. The book uses metaphors from classical mythology to illustrate how one could deal with trauma without being overwhelmed by facing head-on, not the trauma, but its "reflection" in our nervous system. The book asserts that animals in the wild are persistently subject to threats yet rarely exhibit symptoms of trauma. The book's title alludes to the belief embraced by the author that resolving trauma will result in increased physical and psychological energy. ...more on Wikipedia about "Waking the Tiger"
