BODYMIND WORKBOOK by Deb Shapiro
The BodyMind Workbook is a new and exciting exploration of the relationship between the body and the mind, showing how conflicting attitudes, fears, and repressed feelings can all directly influence the body and its functioning. The author describes in detail the various bodymind patterns and languages used, from the type of tissue structure involved to the part of the body affected. She explains how our states of mind can influence such illnesses as high blood pressure, heart trouble, nervous disorders or even cancer. She also emphasises how illness and disease give us a chance not only to transform our physical health, but also to facilitate healing on a deeper level. As we discover and understand the messages behind the physical disorders, so we can bring about personal resolution and self-discovery.
