Ecosomatics: Embodiment Practices for a World in Search of Healing

This practical guide explains how ecosomatics—embodiment work for personal and planetary health—can help us shift our consciousness through expanded listening with all our senses and embracing the interconnections between our inner and outer worlds.

The book offers ecosomatic and embodiment exercises to help you expand perception, develop somatic intelligence, let go of limiting beliefs, lessen fear, anxiety, and alienation, and open to levels of awareness that allow you to tune in to a greater vision of what is humanly possible.

A timely book.

Writing and the Body in Motion: Awakening Voice through Somatic Practice

Writing and the Body in Motion: Awakening Voice through Somatic Practice is based upon my practices as a dancer, writer, healer, somatic practitioner, meditator, and teacher. My innovative approach uses movement, mindfulness and writing to develop body awareness, self-discovery, and well-being. Written from an integral perspective of mind-body-spirit, discussion and exercises draw on dance, psychology, neuroscience and meditation to guide personal exploration and creative expression.

So many thought provoking ideas. I’m using it in my professional writing life and as a life tool. I highly recommend it.

Ginseng Tango

Ginseng Tango chronicles my move to the Korean peninsula to teach English, American culture, and dance while going through a divorce. The memoir reveals my joys and challenges as a foreigner navigating struggles between ancient and modern practices, western and eastern ideals, feminism and Confucianism.

“… a brilliantly-written narrative that is more than worthy of your time, attention and thought.”

—Burgess Needle

“The sounds, smells, and tastes of South Korea serve as the backdrop as she navigates the intricate topography of her own spiritual and emotional landscape, and like a skilled tango partner, her perfectly-paced prose pulls you close, then sweeps you off your feet and into the moment.”

—Mark Seely

Her Body Listening, a poetry collection by Cheryl Pallant, book cover

Her Body Listening

Her Body Listening, my newest collection, is a poetic reflection on my final year in training as a Healing Touch practitioner.
“How to write the body? Pallant enters the ever changing mutability of the body with language that kinesthetically charges sentences, bleeds words into juxtapositions, and channels passions as vehicles to transcend and heal.”

—Kristin Prevallet

“In this new poetry collection, Cheryl Pallant plays both with the harsh discordance of language and its soothing homophones ‘line by line, sharps by flats, horn by heard.’ Ornette Coleman’s free jazz comes to mind.”

—Brigitte Byrd

Her Body Listening shows us how reading itself can be a form of therapy, can remind us to breathe and to release the holds that hinder.”

—Linda Russo
