Description : From the day we are born to the day we die, our bodies move one way or another. The life of the body parallels the movement of our inner life; psyche and soma act as mirrors for one another, each with its own perspective and style, sharing in the experience of the whole human being: the successes or frustrations of one are reflected in the strengths or illnesses of the other. Incorporating body wisdom into our world-view accesses a different kind of intelligence and makes us smarter and more vital beings in life.
Marian Wolfe Dixon looks at physical characteristics like posture, focus, weight, touch etc. as topics for self-investigation. Exercises, physical and mental ones, at the end of each section stimulate your self-knowledge and – if you are not careful – might even get you moving!
Drawing on such diverse disciplines as hatha yoga, dance and improvisation, tai chi, aikido and different relaxation techniques, Bodylessons encourages you to consider, to sense and to feel what it is like to live your life more fully through your physical body – and enjoy it too!
