The Body has a Mind of Its Own : how body maps in your brain help you do
(almost) everything better Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee
Just as road maps enable you to reach your destination, body maps enable you
to perform movements, from the simple task of picking up a cup to the more
complex task of playing sports. The self is not restricted to the confines
of your physical body. It extends into the space around you. For example,
when you use a knife and fork, you can feel the hard and soft density of the
food that you are cutting through these hard metals. This book will change
your perception of your body!
Expression of Interest for 2010 China Trip

Yellow Mountain |
Since the September China trip, students have been asking where well be
touring in China next year. Participants of this years trip are still
talking about their eye opening experiences in China. The focus of our
tours is different from the average sightseeing tours. Our trips give
students the opportunity to discover and experience the traditional culture
of China through training with Taoist and Tai Chi masters. Along with some
of the must-see historical sights, the strongest impressions left with
students are from the training with these masters who live and breathe the
art to which they are dedicated.
Participants of the 2010 trip will explore the following places:
Shanghai
is known as the Pearl of the Orient.
Hang Zhou is famous for its beautiful West Lake with temples, art
galleries and interesting cafes scattered along its 15 km circumference.
Su Zhou is one of Chinas oldest cities, dating back to 514 BC. It
is known as Venice of the East because of its canals, stone bridges and
intricately designed gardens.
Yellow Mountain
is famous for its granite peaks with pine trees, hot springs, spectacular
scenery, including sunrise and sunset. Some of the best green teas are
grown on this mountain.
Mount Wudang
is voted by all previous trip participants to be a place where they would
like to spend a few weeks to nourish and revitalise their energy.
Beijing
is full of historical significance and the centre of Hun Yuan Tai Chi.
