My WorksDiscovering the Body’s Wisdom:
A Comprehensive Guide to More than Fifty Mind-Body Practices that Can Relieve Pain, Reduce Stress, and Foster Health, Spiritual Growth, and Inner Peace (Bantam Books). An extremely practical and comprehensive resource, Discovering the Body’s Wisdom helps consumers and health care professionals become savvy about the numerous Eastern and Western body therapies or “bodyways” now available. It shows readers how to befriend their own bodies and get back in touch with their internal sources of health and wisdom. "Whole-Body Spirituality: Using All Your Senses"
Everything we are born with as a human being can be put to religious service. Worship is embodied, whether it’s orthodox, mystical, Eastern, Western, or indigenous. All of our senses and body parts can participate. Even the most intimate physical activities can serve religious goals. “Guarding the Tongue: Why We Should Practice Right Speech”
Every part of the body is integral to our spiritual practice. Perhaps most important, but least regarded, is the mouth. It appears harmless enough. Boneless, the lips and tongue are soft; yet, they can be razor-sharp. As Zen teacher Robert Aitken has said, “More people get hurt by gossip than by guns.” |
