The Bodymind Workbook: Exploring How the Mind and the Body Work Together

By Debbie Shapiro

Book Overview

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.

Love it!

I love the way this book is written, Deb Shapiro makes it easy to understand the body/mind connection!

A Powerful Tool

All I can say is, if you don't have this book, it is well worththe buy! As a Massage Therapist and Energy WorkerI have often struggled with a way to explainto my clients (without being to invasive)the Mindy/Body link,especially if it is their first time being"worked on" and they have had no prior experiencewith Holistic Healing.It has information on a wide range of ailments,aches and specific body language that helps the therapist to put into "everyday language" what the underlying cause may be linked to their client's dis-ease.It also covers areas dealing with Quickening, Pre-birth,Pre-conception and much more!I find the author's explanations gentle but informative enough for my clients to begin to make the connection, which furtherhelps their healing process. Excellent, excellent book!A must have for any Holistic Practitioner's Library!

This is the book we have all been waiting for!

I am so glad this book is available again. As a massage therapist and energy worker, people ask me all the time "What does a pain in this part of the body mean?" with this book I can tell them what energy or emotions are generally stored there. I have lent this book out over 20 times in the last 7 years. I am so thankful it is now available again for other people to buy. I have learned so much about how the words we say are connected to how we hold stress in our bodies. How a pain between the shoulder blades is often connected to unresolved relationship or career conflicts. People think I am physic when I ask them questions like "Did you feel like someone stabed you in the back around the time this pain started?" Then I lend them the book. I have found it very helpful in trama releases as well.
