Re: Bercili exercises-my positve experience

[Guest guest]

Thanks Bill and for everyone else who gave such wonderful reviews of

Berceli's exercises. I am an adoptive mom and certainly

looking for support in dealing with my own trauma.

However, when I read Berceli's website, I can't help but think

of my son and so many adopted children. Even though my son has

benefited greatly with nf, I still think there is some trauma that is

lurking in his physiology. I am interested in how Berceli uses these

with children.

Bill could you tell me what book and CD you used? When I go to

Bercill's site, I see two different books and two different CD's.

Thanks for any help.
