A true rediscovery of experiencing

Charles Brooks is a master. And here he shares his mastery with us. I was struck by the clarity, preciseness of his instructions and the depth at which he integrates sensory awareness with his spiritual practice (zazen). This book breathes with compassionate awareness. tgis book is not about reading only. It is about experiencing. Highly recommended.

Sensory Awareness

Published in the seventies and based on the workshops of Charlotte Selver, this book celebrates the return to awarenes of the senses. Written in a critical time in American historical development, the book points out the pathway to natural and self-regulating ways for growth, for freeing and encouraging the correcting mechanisms that come from within, and for more constructive and fuller living. The author of the book points out that how we treat ourselves and our immediate enviroment has far-reaching ramifications for how we feel about ourselves, and how others perceive us. It directly affects our orientation toward our loved ones, our work, the society that surrounds us, and how we function spiritually in a universe in which commitment to psychological health and well-being is essenntial. Sensory Awareness deals with the basics that we must all relearn: touching, walking, self-awareness, working constructively and happily, and dealing with each other joyfully. By achieving a holistic re-orientation toward ourselves and our enviroment, the flow of life is altered in positive ways, and the basis for chronic problems that beset us is eliminated. --- from book's back cover
