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

By Christine Caldwell

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.
