Overview

A unique body-focused approach to self-improvement in martial arts, combining psychology and Qigong principles.

Current psychological research has proven that the body and mind are intimately linked, each mirroring the other. Effective adjustments to the way we think can only occur with concurrent changes in the way we move--since the body is the visible portion of the mind. In Martial Arts and the Mirror Image, martial arts practitioner and longtime teacher Phillip Starr draws on psychology, Qigong principles, and years of martial arts training to show readers body-focused self-help exercises that increase confidence, self-awareness, and personal growth.

Unlike many self-help books where the focus is on changing and improving your mental state, the Mirror Image Technique starts with cognitive transformation in the body. Starr has created a set of training exercises, which teaches how to become more confident and successful in life by adjusting your posture, gait, and other small physical changes, with increases in confidence and personal development to follow. Starr takes readers through a series of exercises, illustrative examples, and instructive photographs that are intended to enhance personal growth, leading to a renewal of confidence and enthusiasm for one's particular practice. Over years of teaching this workshop to martial arts practitioners and longtime teachers, Starr has refined this unique set of exercises so that it can be applied to any martial art tradition as well as one's personal life. This book is an invaluable guide to practitioners of all martial art traditions, whether they are advanced practitioners or beginners.
