  The founder of this whole-body approach to healing, Robert St. John (who author Gaston Saint-Pierre trained with) gave it the curious name 'Metamorphosis'. Yet the analogy with a caterpillar is apt - for, just as it metamorphoses into a butterfly, so, as this books explains, we as human beings have the capacity to transform and heal ourselves. The technique's two leading exponents present its principles - the central one being the belief that during the nine months between conception and birth our physical, mental, emotional and behavioural structures are all established. By working on the spinal reflexes of the feet, hands and head, this formative period can be brought back into focus, so allowing healing to take place. This positive, life-affirming book is a fascinating and uplifting work, and conveys a powerful message - that we can leave behind patterns of psychological or physical 'dis-ease' and move forward, re-energised.
