Just to expand a bit on what I wrote above - I'm aware that body therapies seem to be present in the discourse, but people often talk about them as a way of resolving deep trauma - the BvdK book I mentioned is very much about that. I was thinking as I read that, but what about therapy for people who aren't hurting in this way? What might this work do for them? I think it's when you resolved some of your emotional crap but still do the work that things start to get really interesting. As a for instance, I also study Alexander Technique - when I was having weekly Reichian therapy, I went to an AT "lesson" as they are called and a knock on side effect was - in the session - feeling this really deep sense of joy. I was sitting there feeling this unintended, sustained delight virtually oozing out of my pores. I assume the two modalities had cross-fertilised somehow. Weird and wonderful when this kinda thing crops up without pharmaceuticals. It's interesting to experience something like this which it isn't bound up with any content as such as well. No "I feel happy because of..." - it was a feeling that existed prior to conceptualisation.
I think you are dead right about meditation, Corpsey. 30 days is something to be celebrated surely? I don't have a regular practice at the moment, due to kids though I often do a few minutes of what's called in Alexander Technique "directed thinking" first thing in the morning. Had a row yesterday with my partner about her habit of reading the news on her phone as soon as she wakes up. Why would you want that input first thing upon awakening?
