Freedom From Body Memory: Awaken the Courage to Let Go of the Past Kindle Edition

by Jonathan Tripodi (Author), George Tripodi (Foreword) Format: Kindle Edition

The innate ability to store stress, not only in the mind, but in the body, has become more than a mechanism to survive; it has become an unconscious habit. As a result, a person can accumulate years, even a lifetime of stress in their body from past experiences - a phenomenon known as body memory. In Freedom From Body Memory, we join Jonathan Tripodi on his eighteen year journey to uncover the secrets of body memory and how one's unconscious hold on the past is the invisible source of suffering. Pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression and destructive behaviors are all indicators of unresolved body memory. From his personal awakening to body memory in Part I and through the history, science, and case studies in Part II, Jonathan illuminates a healing path that is often missed in traditional healthcare. The release of body memory is one of the most enlightening and liberating experiences; and creates change in the body and in one's life that are often considered impossible.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing personal story of healing and so much more
Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2020

It is a joy to read a book in which someone has overcome in the way Jonathan Tripodi has. That he then shared his healing method with others is life-giving for many.
I have been a researcher of the body-mind-spirit connection as a part of healing for most of my adult life. Jonathan’s story of finding the memories in his life that were affecting his body was remarkable and so insightful. I’ve continued to read other books that affirm that Jonathan was on the cutting edge of new scientific research. Jonathan personally discovered this truth and didn’t wait for science to lead him. Science is catching up to personal stories and journeys like Jonathan’s and that’s a good thing for those who need scientific “proof” but for those for whom science hasn’t yet worked, Jonathan and his book can open them to other ways to heal.
If you have a physical problem that is confounding you or your doctors, read this book and open yourself to the ways in which the body communicates so that you too can find health and freedom from body memories.
I recommend reading this book and opening your mind to the power inherent in us to find the healing we need.

5.0 out of 5 stars It was written like a story
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2018

I read this book in 2 nights. It was written like a story. Jonathan does a great job of taking an abstract concept of treatment and explaining it easily and specifically for a lay person. Though, not a stranger to Jonathan's work, I've was on my own mission to find a BMR practitioner and have since been successful and pleased with the results. I've tried numerous modalities over the years for a health issue and I believe I've found something that helps me. The book only reinforced my beliefs. I really appreciate his tenacity and courage in taking back his health and now is healed from a life threatening disease. Jonathan's shows his generosity, honesty and determination in bringing hope to those people who have tried everything medically and alternatively. Freedom from Body Memory gives us permission to take back our life and be free from those memories that keep us trapped and frozen. I've learned that our bodies are our best teachers and play a huge part in our healing journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great dissemination of the science of how trauma to the body can be discharged
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2021

Kudos to the seller for making my situation right. I originally received an empty shipping packet and as soon as I notified them they immediately sent a new package.
The book itself is well organized in it's presentation of a complex and relatively unknown subject with a lot of references to like-minded resources. I originally listened to this on audible but had to get a hard copy because as a massage therapist I find the insights here invaluable to my growth and understanding of the human body beyond muscles and joints to a cellular level.

4.0 out of 5 stars Freedom From Body Memory

While Jonathan is not the first person to come up with the idea of body memory, he has combined numerous techniques to develop his Freedom from Body Memory technique. The book is easy to read and understand. I'm hoping to take his 5 workshops to release stored pain in my body from a lifetime of bumps and bruises, minor whiplash from a car wreck, and falling down a flight of stairs when I was 19. His book provides enough success stories and information on his techniques that I am hopeful of success. After reading the book, I have more insight into Jonathan, his techniques, and their value for anyone wanting to release stored pain in their body. I recommend the book to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource for Long-Standing Issues
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2013

Jonathan's discussion of the protective freeze response and the habit to freeze explains for the first time why, even to this day, I freeze up when I am confronted with stressful situations.

There is no question that I have much "body armor" to deal with. I already know that I have poor assimilation of nutrients and poor elimination of metabolic wastes. Jonathan's explanation on p. 129 addresses those very issues. In combination with armored tissue, thickened or crystallized ground substance literally blocks the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and hazardous toxins. Cells, once deprived of these basic metabolic exchanges, become fatigued, toxic and inflamed, which creates the chemical conditions for arthritis, fibromyalgia, and many other pain conditions.

Page 169 goes on to explain why I am so left-brain dominant. "With the accumulation of suppressed body memory, then, some people find themselves residing in the left hemisphere of their brains, entrenched in a cyclical loop of analysis...." This describes me to a "T."

This book is great in opening up the basis for unresolved long-standing health issues which other techniques of alternative medicine have never properly addressed.

I absolutely loved this book and plan on reading it again! I have studied lots of Peter Levine's work and understood that the body CAN hold trauma, but this book was amazing in that it shows you exactly HOW it holds trauma. It first tells Jonathan's personal experience so you can see the power of this work, and then dives deep into the science of exactly how trauma is stored and the Body Memory Recall process of release. There is sooo much detailed scientific information in here and Jonathan is great about explaining all of it in ways that are easy to comprehend. Love it!!

All I can say is WOW!, I never knew that a person’s body could retain all this traumatic memory. Now I feel that this has been the root cause of my issues. I am going to set an intention to connect with a BMR therapist so that I may finally be free from all the emotional and physical pain. Thank you for writing this book Jonathan. You have given me hope that one day I will be free from all of my body memory.

Reading Jonathan's book and having experienced a treatment by him totally changed my life in a huge way. Painful memories that had haunted me for many years and thought I had dealt with in my head were released forever.
What remains now is just the story like a book I had read. I have no more emotional pain from triggers that would bring these hurtful memories forward. I am truly thankful for Jonathan's work and research in developing a way to remove the pain from these memories and bringing peace of mind and joy back into my life. Thank you Jonathan.

Anyone with a chronic health issue could benefit from these healing stories of how to let go of old traumas stored in the body. What I didn't learn was what the basic BMR techniques are if a session is booked with a pactitioner. The methods described were varied, so I lacked comprehension of what a BMR session includes.
