The usual method of working with an author is to assist him or her in collecting thoughts, and to arrange these thoughts for publication. We technicians look at what’s been compiled and provide critiques about what’s missing. We talk about form, style, tone, and voice. We might collect supporting information, check sources, and analyze illustrations. We think about grammar. We also have discussions. Sometimes lots of discussions. If a hired writer is lucky, he or she might get to travel to some interesting location, attend professional conferences or family reunions, and enjoy home-cooked meals. Meals cooked by someone else.

In Giten’s case, the experience was somewhat different. Giten is experiential. He has lived a life of hands-on study and exposure to his subject areas. His mission is to work with people in locations all across the globe, and he speaks several languages that are not English. He is brave. He is confident and curious, interested, and welcoming of new information. He is open to change. These are a few reasons why he was able to create his own modality, the BioDynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System. Making something new requires flexibility.
