Overview

In The Wisdom of Your Body, clinical psychologist and award-winning researcher Hillary McBride explored the ways many of us inherit a broken understanding of the body and offered a more compassionate, healthy, and holistic perspective on embodied life. In this follow-up book, McBride takes the principles of The Wisdom of Your Body and puts them into action in practical, tangible ways. Practices for Embodied Living offers an experiential guide--centered on prompts, activities, and opportunities for reflection--to support listeners who want to practice embodiment. This approachable book helps individuals and groups resist cultural myths about ideal bodies, get in touch with the goodness of their bodies, and more fully inhabit themselves.

Each topic includes various exercises to help listeners restore the mind-body connection.
