Description

Most people today live in their heads and think a lot about changing their lives. They may want to change with all their hearts, but if they don't know how to move back into the parts of their body they are locked out of, they will continually be stymied, as if hitting a brick wall. The fundamental truth explored by Suzanne Scurlock-Durana is that the more fully you inhabit all aspects of your body, the more capable you are of listening to that quiet voice within. Although many teachers stress the importance of living in the present moment, few give the actual practices that make it attainable. While others may inspire us with visions of whom we can be, this book actually teaches the reader how to return to the incredible navigational system of the body, so you can really show up in each present moment in your life.
