Review
I love Jeff Rockwell’s forays into the body – poetry, science, good sense, and fun all have a seat at this rich feast of ‘bone broth’. Explore your bones in Jeff’s inimitable style from within and without, from symbol and substance, and from cranium to tarsum. No matter your level of anatomical proficiency, this book speaks to practitioner and layman alike. — Tom Myers, author of Anatomy Trains
In this beautiful volume, Jeff Rockwell deftly provides a compendium of engrossing and resonant information about our boney selves, while also poetically charting a path to deeper inner-relationship through embodiment practices that anyone can follow. Very well done! — Gil Hedley, Ph.D., Integral Anatomy Productions, LLC
All of the spiritual and healing traditions emphasize the importance of being present to the moment and being present to your body’s sensations in order to have a life filled with clarity and creativity. Jeff Rockwell’s book makes a strong case that living in your body not only helps you feel better, but helps you “live better” – helping you make clear, authentic, accurate and fulfilling decisions. Then he gives you a wealth of practical ideas and exercises to help you learn to be more embodied and in touch with the present moment. — Jim McCormick, Zero Balancing Faculty and author of Zero Balancing: Conscious Touch and Transformation

Jeff Rockwell distills his lifelong dedication to healing practices and generously guides each explorer on their unique embodiment journey. — Elizabeth Larkam, author of Fascia in Motion (2017), coeditor of Pilates Applications for Health Conditions (2025)
If you are passionate about embodiment, love bones, or are simply curious to discover and deepen your understanding of embodied life, this book will delight, inform and inspire. Beautifully written and accessible, Jeff Rockwell weaves ideas from Western science, medicine, anatomy and embryology, with Eastern, indigenous and shamanic healing traditions, creating a rich tapestry of the life and wisdom of our skeletal system. From the theory of embodiment to myths and ancient belief systems which honour bones as portals to the sacred, this book offers practices for everyone, from beginners to professional therapists, seeking to deepen their embodiment of bones as gateways into physical and spiritual healing. — Linda Hartley, Founder of the Institute for Integrative Bodywork & Movement Therapy and author of several books including Wisdom of the Body Moving and Embodied Spirit, Conscious Earth.
