Your Body Knows the Answer - Experimental Analysis of David Rome's Book on the Body/Mind Connection

Discover how cultivating a deeper connection between mind and body can support greater well-being, self-awareness, and resilience in everyday life. David I. Rome details how we can use the wisdom of the body as a tool to embrace our lives more completely. Rome explains techniques such as focusing, developed by psychologist Eugene Gendlin, as well as his own mindfulness/awareness Buddhist practices, that help us access the body’s felt sense. Each session combines exploration of course readings with hands-on practice of meditation and mind-body awareness techniques. This felt sense can help us integrate both personal and shared experiences that we encounter in our lives. As part of the class, we will have a deep reading of Rome’s work combined with experimentation with some of his varied techniques. With a true mind-body connection, an embodied presence, we become more capable of navigating the ups and downs of life. We highly recommend that you purchase Your Body Knows the Answer: Using Your Felt Sense To Solve Problems, Effect Change & Liberate Creativity by David I. Rome, available in both print and e-reader forms. The book will be read during the course.
