Embodied Spirit, Conscious Earth
In Embodied Spirit, Conscious Earth, Linda Hartley brings together the wisdom and learning from nearly five decades of study, practice and teaching at the forefront of somatic movement, embodied awareness, somatic and transpersonal psychotherapy, and spiritual disciplines.
The interrelationship of Body, Mind and Spirit weaves its way through the book – taking us beyond a dialogue between them to the transcendence of unitive consciousness, where an immanent or embodied spirituality is glimpsed. The book draws closely on three sources – Release Work Body-Mind Centering the Discipline of Authentic Movement – to show how they can inform a practice of consciously embodied movement. As well as condensing her lifetime’s experience, Linda suggests a path:
Reviews"In her wise and gentle way, Linda shares with us in Embodied Spirit, Conscious Earth, her lifelong study and practice of conscious embodiment of movement. Told through her personal experience, she guides us as she was guided by her mentors.
As one of her mentors, I feel blessed to be able to witness and experience the depth of her transmission of embodied consciousness to the next generation of seekers. If you long to discover the inner nature of your own being, a more delightful sense of ease with others, and a greater primal connection to this beautiful and most precious home of earth and sky, pick up this book and read it slowly. No rush. Allow yourself to open to the beaming wisdom of the spirit that flows within you, as it does within each of us, and share it with others -- as Linda shares it so lovingly with us. Thank you, Linda." - Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen Author of Sensing, Feeling, and Action and Basic Neuromuscular Patterns: Exploring Developmental Movement |
ReadershipThe book is intended primarily for students, practitioners and teachers in the fields of:
It should also be of interest to lay students and practitioners of the above, as well as academics in these fields. Reviews"With Embodied Spirit, Conscious Earth, Linda Hartley has made a profound contribution to our understanding and embodiment of human development.
Remarkably, she does so in a way that becomes personal for every reader. We discover that how we began is who we are. Tracking the embryonic growth process, Linda reveals the inherent order of life force coming into bodily form through gesture and movement patterns. Out of nothing comes everything. All of human potential is present within the DNA of the first formative cells. The experience of reading this book is nothing less than stunning." - Paula Sager, Author of The Watch: Time to Witness the Beauty of it All (forthcoming) and co-editor of Intimacy in Emptiness: An Evolution of Embodied Consciousness. http://www.threestonestudio.org Faculty Member, Circles of Four http://disciplineofauthenticmovement.com |
