Bodyfulness

Somatic Practices for Presence, Empowerment, and Waking Up in This Life

A somatic counselor offers tools for developing a deeper, more awakened relationship with your body through sensation, breath, and movement

As a foundation for a contemplative life, the body can both literally and metaphorically help us wake up. Breathing, sensing, and moving—the ways we know our body—carry tremendous contemplative potential, and yet, we so often move through our days unaware of or in conflict with our physical selves.

In Bodyfulness, renowned somatic counselor Christine Caldwell offers a practical guide for living an embodied contemplative life, embracing whatever body we are in. Each chapter offers insights and practices that help us recover our lost physical wisdom—to integrate our bodies with mindfulness, to deal with emotions, and to develop attuned relationships. Bodyfulness inspires us to reclaim a body-centered contemplative life and challenges us to harness our potential to effect social and personal transformation in this body now.

Very dry, I gave up

There is some good information in here but you are bombarded with information and exercises without metaphor or story. I didn’t finish it.
