The Inner Power of Stillness illuminates the lost value of stillness for the individual therapist or practitioner, both as a person and as a professional. The authors anchor the possibility of this inner evolution of the power of stillness on the latest research into tissue and cell memory. They also introduce the concept of a potential new modality called 'stillness-memory', and build upon this new understanding a logical and practical framework in which science and philosophy truly inform each other. This opens up access to a much larger canvas of new ideas and possibilities that carry the potential for us as practitioners to be the best people and the best professionals, without compromising our own overall health and wellbeing. In-depth knowledge of how to arrive at this promising new modality, as well as how to apply it in your everyday work and life, is at the heart of the book, including topics such as working from your inner power of stillness, the insightful self and, most importantly, the practitioner's toolkit. Some thought-provoking themes that might be of great value to therapists, teachers and practitioners can be found at the end of the book, providing a universal view of compassion and the solace that stillness can bring to people who are nearing the end of their life.--

"When we are first born, before we can speak or use language to express ourselves, we use our physical sensations, our "body sense," to guide us toward what makes us feel safe and fulfilled and away from what makes us feel bad. As we develop into adults, it becomes easy to lose touch with these crucial mind-body communication channels, but they are essential to our ability to navigate social interactions and deal with psychological stress, physical injury, and trauma. Combining a ground-up explanation of the anatomical and neurological sources of embodied self-awareness with practical exercises in touch and movement, Body Sense provides therapists and their clients with the tools to attain mind-body equilibrium and cultivate healthy body sense throughout their lives."--P. [4] of cover.
