Rosen Method Bodywork: Accessing the Unconscious Through Touch
by Marion Rosen with Sue Brenner, 2003.
In this description of the body-centered therapy developed by Marion Rosen, the reader begins to understand how emotional and physical ailments can be addressed through the gentle touch of the Rosen practitioner. Rosen explains how the practitioner identifies tensions in the body that point to the source of a problem, and how that awareness guides the healing process. Marion describes the origins of her method; how people reveal their emotions in body postures; barriers they set up to love, self-expression, and intimacy, and how Rosen bodywork enables a client to move beyond these barriers.

The Rosen Method: Coming Alive and Staying Alive in the 21st Century
by Marilyn J. Davis, 2002
With a focus on both universal and human themes, Marilyn studies the meaning and importance of presence in the Rosen Method bodywork practice. She explores how the body armors itself due to emotional experiences that have never found expression. Through sensitive touch to the body, keen observation of the breath, and verbal exchange, the client realizes relaxation of tight muscles and a deeper contact with the inner self. Through presence, the practitioner and client together create a relationship which recognizes the intrinsic worth of each, and through which personal change can effect universal change.

The Psychophysiology of Self-Awareness: Rediscovering the Lost Art of Body Sense (Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology)
Alan Fogel, 2009
The practice and science of feeling. Embodied self-awareness is the practice and science of our ability to feel our movements, sensations, and emotions. As infants, before we can speak or conceptualize, we learn to move toward what makes us feel good and away from what makes us feel bad. Our ability to continue to develop and cultivate awareness of these body-based feelings is essential for learning how to successfully navigate in the physical and social world. The book explains the neurological basis of embodied self-awareness.
