25.01.2022 I’m just in process of getting a printed version of the book done. Let me know if you would like a copy.
25.01.2022 Lisa Tyree has written a great chapter on how she works with resisted emotional patterns enabling poeple to shift through their "stuff" rapidly. Hannah Moore has contributed a great chapter on fine tuning your diet to meet your body's needs.
25.01.2022 Reference for Rob I edited this book through three iterations, so have an intimate knowledge of its contents. Being based on the physical healing modality of ortho-bionomy, it is a guide for caring for your body and relieving pain. However, it is a lot more than that. Rob describes in detail how the same principles and processes can be applied to relieve psychological pain. Indeed, you can make your world a better place by adopting Rob’s philosophy: his way of looking at ever...ything. I also happen to be Rob’s father, and am immensely proud of him. Having worked with him on his book, I also consider him my teacher. You cannot do better than to follow me (not in being his father that position is taken but in being his student. Dr Bob Rich has a PhD in psychology, and has retired from decades of a psychotherapeutic practice. He is the author of 18 books, the latest being From Depression to Contentment: A self-therapy guide.
22.01.2022 The body doesn’t have an organ called the immune system. The human body is an immune system. A system composed of viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites & a few h...uman elements too. The last decade has uncovered discoveries of the vast universe we call the microbiome. Two paradigm shifting conclusions have been ascertained from thousands of research studies: Neither human immunity or the human brain work without the interaction of millions of species of tiny organisms that inhabit every niche of the human body. The gut is the Manhattan of the microbiome. Every internal organ; liver, kidneys, vascular system, and brain, have unique ecosystems of viruses, bacteria & fungi that maintain balance & function. The foundation of the gut & microbiome in human health cannot be over emphasized. Our lab has been working for 7 years to understand the relationship between the microbiome & integrity of the intestinal lining. Your gut lining, covering two tennis courts in surface area, is only half the thickness of a human hair. This super thin cellophane-like barrier is not a wall, but rather an intelligent gate keeper, allowing the good stuff in, & keeping out unwanted biome, toxins, organic, inorganic toxins, etc. In a profoundly eloquent method of checks & balances, mother nature has designed our gut barrier, the primary structure that defines your self-identity at the biologic level, to be completely dependent on its continuous contact with the microbial population of the earth. Through your breath, food & all you touch, your microbiome is an extension of you. If you isolate yourself from nature & her biodiversity, you will falter in your self-identity, immune function, & in your mind. 1 course of antibiotics: shown to increase your risk of major depression by 24%, anxiety disorders by 17% 2 courses of antibiotics in a year: 52% increase in depression & 44% increase in anxiety disorders. Neither the microbiome or the virome are against us. The microbiome, communicating via viruses, is the origin of biologic life & the avenue of adaptation that makes a biodiverse, abundant, resilient earth. If we fight it, we will die. Go hug a tree.

20.01.2022 Great talk Shawn Achor: The happy secret to better work https://www.ted.com//shawn_achor_the_happy_secret_to_bette
19.01.2022 During the process of writing Exploring your intelligent body I kept coming across things that interested me but didn't really fit into the book. One of those was the difference between the internal sense of safety, which if you have it, creates resilience to stress. If you don't have it then the world seems like a dangerous place and you are already in your stress response. If this is the case then you are more likely to choose a mate who creates safety for you. This means y...ou are more likely to be in a co-dependent relationship or put up with being treated badly because leaving the relationship destabilises you whole sense of safety. I'm currently in the process of researching different aspects of this idea and came across some interesting things such as that osteoblasts - the molecules that lay down calcium on our bones have oxytocin receptors and when there is more oxytocin in the system the is more bone deposited. The osteoclasts that clean off the calcium also have oxytocin receptors and are inhibited by oxytocin. So love your bones and see if that increases your bone density. See more
19.01.2022 In October I will be presenting at the Spinning Babies confluence. Here’s a chat I had with Gail Tully and Jenny Blyth
18.01.2022 A great talk by Gabor Mate. https://youtu.be/ajo3xkhTbfo
16.01.2022 This is a great talk. I like the way Brene Brown and Tim Ferris are both curious and honest with themselves. The idea of being comfortable with discomfort especially on the emotional level is important as emotional patterns held in the body integrate when you become completely present with them without judgment or resistance. https://youtu.be/Wh5SUF0gPWQ
15.01.2022 Why is exploring important? When we explore we are operating out of curiosity. Curiosity brings us into the present moment and recruits the brain to pay attention to details that you may not notice normally. Try this. Look at the back of your hand and get really curious about all the small details. Notice how interesting your hand is, the lines, the skin variations, the shadows and variations in the light.... Now say to yourself I know, it’s my hand Notice what happens to your attention. Is your hand still interesting? See more
14.01.2022 Being an enthusiastic proponent of Ortho-Bionomy principles and self-care practices, I have gobbled up this book. It’s a great fusion of our current understanding of physiology, and interpretation of our human condition. Rob helps us grasp the ‘how’ and the ‘why’ of the body and mind’s responses to our experiences, our beliefs and our connection to self and others. He then distils this into easy to read, easy to do, and easy to remember exercises that simply work! The emphasi...s on our bodies’ astonishing and innate intelligence is an inspiring, positive and important reminder to us all. Whether you are a bodyworker, or someone who is seeking to heal, this book will help hone your intentions, and provide valuable and uplifting insights into how you might approach and support the body/mind more effectively and with minimal energy. Self-care is a fertile middle ground between doing nothing and expecting your body to heal and find balance - and expecting others to fix you. This book leads us gently on a path to that ground, helping us feel safe to be going there, and once we are there, feeling amazed at how possible change can be, and how easily it can take place.

09.01.2022 This weekend I attended a course run by Lisa Tyree & Lois Rowley on travelling. This is the form of emotional release work that Lisa wrote about in chapter 7 of Exploring your intelligent body. The course was absolutely amazing the shifts in myself and others were swift and mind blowing. I highly recommend sessions with Lisa either face to face or thru what’s app. If you want to get a feel for what she does check out her chapter in the book. You can contact Lisa on 0405 707 775
08.01.2022 Here is the link to the ebook version of Exploring your intelligent body. I hope it is a useful addition to your ability to reduce pain and suffering in your life. Rob :-)... http://www.eyib.com.au
08.01.2022 I'm getting a bit excited, the landing page for the book should be live on Monday!
04.01.2022 Some more great insights into the relationship between mind and body and how that affects Dis-ease https://youtu.be/UGmADfU5HGU
03.01.2022 One of the things i find valuable is being able to have my own experience using a self-exploration approach. If you read pyschological articles they view behaviour from the outside and discuss a theory as to why a person would behave in a certain way. This to me is of limited value. By exploring how you behave especially when you have reacted to something someone else has said or done, you can access resisted emotional states that are effecting your life (thats why you react).... The last chapter of exploring your intelligent body contains tools to make this exploration easier and the two chapters on integrating resisted emotions give you a number of ways to work with things on this level without catharsis or spending a long time feeling crap. The more you free yourself from your resisted emotional stuff the freer and calmer you become. Inner peace comes from letting stuff go, not from resistance and control :-) See more
