FORMATPaperback CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

In 'Embodied Spirit, Conscious Earth', Linda Hartley brings together the wisdom and learning from nearly five decades of study, practice and teaching at the forefront of somatic movement, embodied awareness, somatic and transpersonal psychotherapy, and spiritual disciplines.The interrelationship of Body, Mind and Spirit weaves its way through the book – taking us beyond a dialogue between them to the transcendence of unitive consciousness, where an immanent or embodied spirituality is glimpsed. The book draws closely on three sources – Release Work, Body-Mind Centering and the Discipline of Authentic Movement – showing how they can inform a practice of consciously embodied movement. As well as condensing her lifetime's experience, Linda suggests a path:•to explore our own embodied awareness•to understand the patterned impact of conception, embryological development, birth and infant development•to rediscover our connection with the consciousness of the Earth and the more-than-human world•to find a healthier relationship with our planetary home and the collective body •and to explore the relationship between the matter of body and the mystery of Spirit, through the arc of human development from conception to the end of life.
