Reclaiming Your Body

A guided tour through the body’s innate healing powers Many of us have learned to ignore, deny, or even mistrust the wise messages our bodies give us. The result is that when trauma strikes, a time when we need every aspect of our beings to master the challenge, we may find ourselves disconnected from our greatest strengths. Suzanne Scurlock-Durana, who has spent thirty years studying the gifts of the body and teaching thousands how to reclaim them, began to recognize this strength, which she likens to a GPS, when she herself experienced a life-threatening trauma. Here she walks readers through different areas of the body, revealing the wisdom they hold and how to reconnect with that wisdom. As she shows in this warm, compassionate book, the body’s abilities are always available; we must simply reconnect with them.

Getting Our Bodies Back

A habitual movement as common as nail-biting or toe-tapping can be the key to pulling out addictive behavior by its roots. These unconscious movement "tags" indicate the places where our bodies have become split off from our psyches. When brought to consciousness and confronted they will often tell us very plainly where our psychological suffering originated, showing us where to begin reconnecting body and soul. Christine Caldwell, a pioneer in the field of somatic psychology, has created an original model for working with body wisdom called the Moving Cycle. She describes how this form of therapy has worked effectively in her own practice, and she provides practical techniques to show how we can learn to listen to what our bodies are telling us, confront addictive habits, and learn to celebrate our inherent wisdom and elegance.

Core Light Healing

Core Light Healingis the first book in twenty years from Barbara Brennan, founder of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing. A sequel to her two classic works, Hands of Lightand Light Emerging,it extends her beloved teaching to help readers learn to create the lives they long to live. In Part 1, Barbara reviews the configuration of the Human Energy-Consciousness System (HECS); then she goes on to describe the creative process as it flows through the HECS. When the creative pulse is unblocked, we are able to manifest our longing-but we all have blocks that stop the creative flow, places where we have stopped our energy due to wounding and traumas from childhood. Barbara guides us through the steps to release these blocks so creative energy is free to flow; the end result is not only the physical manifestation of our heart's longing but also more core essence, more core light. Part 2 takes us to the astral world or the 4th level of the HECS to explore its relation to the creative process. Before we can understand the 4th level we must first perceive it! Barbara begins Part 2 with an explanation of how high sense perception works, so we can begin to perceive not only the 4th level but also other levels of the HECS. Then she explains in detail how the 4th level functions, discussing blocks that may have occurred through multiple lifetimes; the process of death and soul travel and how it affects the HECS; and how to heal the energetic cords that connect us to people with whom we are in relationship, either in our present lives or across generations. Interwoven through the book are Barbara Brennan's personal stories of her childhood as well as her experiences as a beginning and then professional healer and founder of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing. Also included is channeled poetry from her guide, Heyoan, which further elucidates and integrates the concepts presented throughout. Finally, each chapter ends with questions to guide the reader's further work and exploration.

Healing the Body Politic

Christine de Pizan (1364-1431) has been recognised as a poet, early humanist and feminist precursor but rarely as political theorist whose works were intended to have a direct impact on the tumultuous politics of her time. The essays in this collection focus on Christine as a political writer and provide an important resource for those wishing to understand her political thought. They locate her political writing in the late medieval tradition, discussing her indebtedness to Aristotle, Aquinas and Augustine as well as her transformations of their thought. They also illuminate Christines political epistemology her understanding of political wisdom as a part of theology, the knowledge of God. New light is thrown on the circumstances which prompted Christine to write on political issues and on her attitude to Isabeau of Bavaria. These essays show that Christines originality consisted in her capacity to modify and feminise the tradition of Christian Aristotelianism through the use of elements of Christian imagery, in particular Mariology, in order to construct an image of the virtuous and prudent monarch which had lost the explicitly manly and warlike character of the Aristotelian phronimos. This reconfigured image of the monarch lent itself to the extension which she developed in her more feminist works, which demonstrated the prudence of women and their capacity, in times of need, to function as authoritative political figures.
