Unsolicited comments from emails I've received lately:
Hi Gil, I just finished the 4th volume of your set...
When I first learned of your Integral Anatomy series, I couldn't imagine how you could possibly bring
to light the experience of dissection within the limited confines of a set of DVDs--it seemed like an
almost impossible undertaking.
But in fact, in one way it was even more effective and educational for me than actually being there.
My main dilemma with the workshops was that I always became overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude
of "information" each cadaver presented. I tried too hard - to "see" too much - kind of all at once.
But your discrete steady focus on the complete interrelationship of all the parts to the whole allowed me
to let go of what I could not see, what I did not understand, and what "connections" I could not make sense
of. Rather, it allowed me to simply take a breath, follow the leader and have faith that the end result
would be a further elaboration of my ongoing quest to understand my people, my work, and my life.
And still, within the carefully constructed framework of the "integrated body", you also presented a tremendous
amount of detail that was key.
All of which is to say that I loved it, and to thank you from my heart for all your excellent work.
Now I just need to watch it again a few dozen more times to see what I missed. Ha ha, I guess some things never change!
Keep having fun (-: All best, Lynn - bodyworker, yoga teacher, and grateful Somanaut
Gil you are ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!! Years ago Marty Ryan tried to get me to come to one of
your dissection classes I turned him down and have regretted it ever since. When this DVD series first came out Marty suggested I buy and
I must admit I have learned more from this series than all the continuing education classes I have spent money on in the last 6 years,
well except Marty's love your Guts Seminars, which in part are based on your teachings.
So with this segment [Vol. 4] you have once again single handedly advanced bodywork to the next level.
Is there any way I can encourage and facilitate you coming to the Kentucky Area to teach? (from Chris Hughes, LMT)
I just finished watching your "Vol. 4: Viscera and their Fasciae." It truly is the best quality and most instructive of
any DVD that I have ever seen about our human body especially about the viscera. I truly love the way you explain
things and give some important information that pertains to us bodyworkers working on the human body. I am very
grateful to you for demonstrating the adhesions in the "fresh" cadaver. I was amazed seeing a lung so stuck to the
top of the diaphragm. I am truly grateful for the two "Human Dissection Workshops" that I attended in San Francisco.
Thanks to these workshops, and your DVD's, I have developed my work, (starting with the first DVD that I saw), with
the visual and palpable intentions, of separating layers of stuck tissue by applying pressure only into the directions
that feel good to the client, and including the client's movement, to help the tissue layers to separate with no pain.
Your "Viscera" DVD reinforced my belief that it is the fascial release of adhesions, anywhere in the body, and the
repositioning of the organs, that are helping to give relief to clients that have been in pain for years.

I am a 50-year old woman who has spent the last six years "melting away the fuzz" in my body.
I really enjoyed your fuzz video [now posted at YouTube, ed.] and plan to share it with others. Trying to explain fascia
to most people is difficult, if not impossible. Thanks, W.K.
