Waking the Tiger : Healing Trauma : The Innate Capacity to Transform Overwhelming Experiences
Peter Levine in “Waking the Tiger,” postulates that trauma exists not in the event or in the story of the event, but is stored within the nervous system. Many common physical ailments are actually residues of thwarted trauma reactions incurred during such events as surgical procedures, falls, pre or perinatal stress and/or childhood accidents and traumas. The body has a natural, innate, and miraculous capacity to heal once these reactions are understood and guided.
Women’s Intuition: Unlocking the Wisdom of the Body
Psychoneuroimmunologist Reeves guides women back to the knowing into which they were born through this thoughtful and thought-provoking
treatise. With grace, compassion, and common sense, she tugs the lead of
self-esteem encouraging the reader to follow her down a path toward greater self-wisdom. She explains that when we ignore “what matters most to us,” that becomes “the matter with us.” Then to make matters worse, because we’re deaf to the voice of our embodied consciousness, we “cure” our symptoms and continue to dismiss our intuitive messages. Having greater control over our lives is ultimately what Reeves offers.
Sweat Your Prayers: Movement as Spiritual Practice
“The soul can only be present when body and spirit are one,” exclaims Roth (Maps to Ecstasy) in this amiably free-flowing spiritual autobiography. She goes on to explain how dance can be the path to soul or true self. Roth discovered dance as a means of self-initiation and integration through a career that began with a stint as a massage therapist at the wellspring of the human potential movement, Esalen Institute. There, Fritz Perls invited Roth to teach movement to his therapy groups. Prodding her physically frozen students to sense their bodies and breathe, Roth quickly discovered that “two hours of moving were as powerful as two years on the couch.”
