Care of the Whole Self: Yoga-Inspired Practices for Befriending the Self (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798656680813)

It's likely that you already have plenty of information about how to work out. Care of the Whole Self: Yoga-Inspired Practices for Befriending the Whole Self is a comprehensive yet concise guidebook for how to "work in" and cultivate the ability to sit peacefully with yourself.In these times, which are accelerated, data-driven, and fast, we need to practice now more than ever the skill of lingering, pausing, and being with ourselves. In this book by longtime yoga teacher Maryam Ovissi, you'll find clear and simple tools to interject into your day for rest, meditation, and regulation of stress and anxiety.True yoga, when it is practiced with respectful attention to the ancient tenets underlying it, is about spiritual exploration and discovery of the subtle life energies that make up one's being, as well as the universe. Yoga reveals that wholeness is always available to us in the present moment, as a complete understanding of our true identity. When we embrace our wholeness, we relinquish the delusions and illusions that keep us stuck in narrow definitions of who we are and who we should be. Care of the Whole Self guides you through all the dimensions of yourself, which are interrelated and connected. This book invites the knowledge that if you work with one, you will ultimately impact all layers of the self. You will also arrive at a deeper understanding of the workings of the universe and the oneness that is behind all phenomena.Care of the Whole Self is a compassionate and timely book that was written to support humanity in remembering what it means to be fully animal, human, and divine-to embrace, know, and live from all parts of who we are. Ovissi's skillful blend of yoga methodology, trauma-informed neuroscience, evocative poetry, and simple but effective rituals will give you a solid foundation to build a whole-self-care plan to transform your life and lead you to the lasting peace you deserve.
