Marcia Germaine Hutchinson, Ed.D.

1999

This is a series of bite-sized meditations and exercises on changing your relationship to your body and becoming “embodied” in the truest sense. It grew out of a workshop Hutchinson led for 17 years called “Transforming Body Image.” It is meant to be used as a kind of de-programming tool to replace the criticism, scorn, and even hatred that many of us feel for our bodies when they don’t conform to what is considered beautiful. She suggests establishing a short time each morning or evening and choosing one entry, by intuition or by number, to begin to explore and change these attitudes. This would make a good basis for using EFT or another energy therapy to dismantle our criticism of our bodies.
