ABSTRACT Christoph Sommer interviews his faculty colleague Peter Schwind on how our work can influence the brain. Schwind discusses early insights, the manual work of Jean-Pierre Barral, DO, the classic intranasal work of Ida Rolf’s Seventh Hour, the interface of the viscerocranium and neurocranium, the senses as bridges to the brain, and the important concepts of ‘container’ and ‘contents’.

ABSTRACT For this issue, some of the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute® (DIRI) faculty members share: their approach to working with hands and arms, when they encountered DIRI training regarding hands and arms, and the evolution of how they currently approach teaching hand and arm territory in the classroom.
