Our self-image expresses in how we stand, move, and hold ourselves in the world; and in martial arts, the way we move reflects the way we think on the mat, in practice, and when sparring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere, Starr pulls from Self-Image Psychology and Qigong to offer readers a unique set of physical exercises that can be applied to any martial art tradition--as well as our personal lives. Like two mirrors facing each other, the physical body both reflects and changes the mind, and vice versa- our physical movements become more than just the consequence of our intentions or thoughts. As we adjust the way we move, we adjust the way we think- about ourselves, our lives, and our environments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike other self-help books that consider the mind as the sole gateway to change, the Mirror Image Technique shows that cognitive transformation starts with the body.
