Margaret Morris – författare

This story covers 47 years of physical, sexual, and spiritual abuse, yet the author leaves the reader with a feeling of hope and spirituality. It also gives a personal glimpse into two other lives, one who was able to express the family secret and receive counseling, return to college and receive a degree and certification in family counseling, and one young lady who could not receive help even though she tried and has been institutionalized. The book tells of the difficulties of being a victim and the success in becoming a whole and emotionally well and productive individual.

Basic Physical Training explores health and correcting faults of breathing and posture to counteract the lack of natural movement in civilized life. This book is composed of two sections encompassing nine chapters, which evolved from the method of physical and mental training known as Margaret Morris Movement. Part I focuses on the closely inter-related practical objective of basic physical training, namely, the breathing, abdominal muscle training, feet strengthening, posture, stretching, relaxation, joint mobilization, and balance. Part II discusses the basic mechanism of breathing, followed by descriptions of exercises. This book will be of value to gymnasts, teachers, and people who wish to practice the exercises either for health or as a foundation for more strenuous training.
