Somatic Intelligence: What Every Body is Dying for You to Know (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781523415519)

Hundreds of millions of people leave work every year in 3 preventable types of pain costing hundreds of billions of dollars in medical bills and time lost in productivity. Billions more suffer in other types of pain that are more responsive to improvement than given credit for. In the body-mind connection you have to be present to win. There is a simple, yet ancient way to maintain or regain your health that nearly every modern therapeutic system has developed from. Every performing art has been enhanced from these methods as well, as each of these somatic pioneers had their 'aha!' moments while inquiring about how to improve the art and science of well-being and its expression through the body. Your body is dying for you to know these methods and we can barely afford not to. The (easy-to-learn) methods as well as the evidence currently known about why they work are described in this book.Every type of well-being, whether it's physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual, happens through the body. However, what happens in the body will be according to its programming or conditioning unless we guide and shape its responses. Learning how to shape and educate our system in the direction of its innate health and joy is invaluable.There are many types of intelligence that are key to our health and well-being. Somatic, or body intelligence, is one of them, and spiritual intelligence is as vital, because that's what we are at our depths. Our bodies are extremely sensitive and responsive if we learn how to connect with it. Although we use our bodies constantly, we are rarely taught to experience ourselves from the other side of the looking glass - from within. Whether we're working at a desk, gardening, or involved in other physical activities like yoga, pilates, dance and sports, our bodies are usually on automatic pilot. I am one of those very active people who's mind was always on the action instead of the actor. As a mother, dancer, athlete, martial artist and manual therapist, until I trained in a somatic education course that included self-sensing, my use of the inner world of proprioception was unconscious. Waking up to it has transformed not only my physical life, but those of all the thousands of clients I've subsequently worked with. It's an invaluable journey that continues to heal, balance, integrate, and amaze."An ambitious and sweeping survey of spirit and cellular grit that can help ALL students of the body, whether professionals or 'explorers' to understand the many factors that allow us the freedom to have more control over our destiny than we were ever lead to believe. I know of no other book that weaves the historic view with the latest research in biochemistry, neurobiology and electricity to help us understand the fullness of our biological embodiment in the light of transcendent experience." J. Olivier, founder - Institute for Conscious Bodywork"An easy to comprehend, evidence-based guide to sensory and somatic intelligence, Suresha continues to guide us to a higher level of consciousness. The next step in the body- mind integration continuum." Dr. M. Lindauer, B.A., M.Sc., D.C."Suresha Hill brilliantly presents how ancient healing values can cross-pollinate with modern day science. Her explorations and research into the dimensions of somatic intelligence are an elegant synthesis of sincere inquiry. Her book is truly an inspirational guide to anyone who is ready to change from the inside out." Hasso Wittholdt-Mueller, Hp. German Naturopath & Health ! Coach
