The Wisdom of Your Body: Finding Healing, Wholeness, and Connection Through Embodied Living by Hillary L. McBride

hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

Don’t let the “ChristianAudio” scare you off lol. While the author is definitely Christian, this work is extremely inclusive (as Christianity should be!). Each chapter focuses on a different element that prevents us from being embodied, like body image, trauma, chronic pain, and social injustices. I really got into the discussion of how the Christian, Puritanical, and Ancient Grecian/Roman Philosophical roots of American culture are all centered on ideas of mind = good and body = bad. Or even the idea that these two things are separate. I will be thinking on this for awhile!
