A book for contemplative practitioners and people in the helping professions that introduces the importance of somatic awareness, physical self-reflection, and conscious movement practices as a companion to sitting practice. Harnessing both the literal and metaphorical contemplative potency of the principles such as oscillation and balance, which govern the functioning and systems of the body, Bodyfulnessprovides practical guidance for living an embodied contemplative life. Both theoretical and practical, it will educate the reader about the body's role in consciousness, emotional maturity, connection to others, personal and social transformation, and spirituality. Chapter by chapter, the reader will be introduced to practices that help recover lost physical wisdom of sensation, breath, and movement. Most importantly, Bodyfulnesswill assist the reader in reclaiming a body-centered contemplative life, one that values both sensation and thought equally, as well as celebrating their interconnected nature.
