Although not all Rolfing practitioners will give astrology credence, Ida Rolf did. In 1999 I me astrologer Diane Clarke on Maui. We both lived there, and Diane came to me for Rolfing sessions subsequent to an auto accident. One of the first things she told me was that she had done astrological readings for Dr. Rolf. As Dr. Rolf was no longer living, Diane felt comfortable sharing the char with me, and being interviewed about it. With Rolfing history as the theme of this issue, it seemed an appropriate time to dig out the tape of our interview.

The most incredible and powerful asset you own is your mind. With this magnificent organ, you can heal yourself and others physically, attract wealth and prosperity, smooth troubled relationships?and that?s just for starters!Byron Gentry, D.C.(1)Byron Gentry, D.C. was born in 1913. His childhood affliction with polio only seemed to give him more determination to improve his own condition and that of others. He became a very successful chiropractor based in Oklahoma City, and first met Ida Rolf at a training she gave in Dallas in 1954. Gentry and Rolf became good friends and colleagues.Gentry is credited with influencing Rolfing regarding the use of focused intention. He published Miracles of the Mind: How to use The Power of Your Mind for Healing and Prosperity in 1998, a book written with his wife Mary Gentry about his life and healing work and especially about his developed use of mental projection. In it, he offers instruction in the use of these techniques, including ?The Tool,? a method of using mental projection and physical actions to assess and re-balance the electromagnetic polarities and static charge buildups that may cause pain and dysfunction. Gentry died in 2001 after a lifetime of healing and learning.Dan Gentry (pictured with his stepfather and wife, Theresa) is Byron Gentry?s stepson. This interview is the result of a set of written questions given by Robert McWilliams to Dan, and their subsequent ?massaging? of the answers. Robert works in Dan?s Rolfing practice during regular forays to Oklahoma City.

First-generation Rolfing practitioners?those who studied directly with Dr. Rolf?are a tremendous resource. They created a strong foundation for the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration and a path for us to follow. Their memories of Dr. Rolf?s comments still impact their work today?and we can use their memories to enhance our own work. Several here share a ?moment? with Dr. Rolf.
