Rolfers do manual work on and in the nose in the Seventh Hour of the Ten Series. This article reflects on those protocols as well as the implications of COVID-19 precautions. The author explores the idea of nasal intelligence and the role smell has with body awareness, intuition, and orientation. The nose and breathing are coupled, which is touched on as having complexity that is anatomic and social.

Pierpaola Volpones speaks with Naomi Wynter-Vincent about the eyes of Rolfers, that seeing body patterns happens as a physical event of vision for the practitioner. Volpones has been addressing her eyes with the Bates Method of Vision Education and she discusses the value of allowing herself to have blurry vision with no glasses. Structural states that relate to focal and peripheral vision are described.

In this interview, Ina Bretschneider-Baker discusses her experience with the Grunwald Eyebody Method and the positive impact it had on her eyes and life. Grunwald eye types are considered and how this information aligns with Bretschneider-Baker’s Rolfing® Structural Integration practice.
