Ecosomatics: Embodiment Practices for a World in Search of Healing

In this practical guide, I discuss how ecosomatics—embodiment work for personal and planetary health—can help us shift our consciousness. Shifting occurs through expanded listening with all our senses and embracing the interconnections between our inner and outer worlds. Blending research with personal experience in somatic and contemplative practices, I point to how a broadened appreciation of conscious and unconscious bodily events and perceptions leads to vitally needed, improved stewardship with ourselves and the planet.

The current health, social, and environmental crises are a chance for an evolution in consciousness, pushing us to heal the divisions within personal identity, between self and others, and with the environment. This book offers ecosomatic and embodiment reflections and 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.

The body is a process that is part of nature, not separate from it. By embarking on a transpersonal inner journey, we bring healing to the world.
