Practices for Embodied Living: Experiencing the Wisdom of Your Body

Come Home to Your Body

Many of us inherit a broken understanding of the body. Hillary L. McBride offers a more compassionate, healthy, and holistic perspective on embodied life.

Practices for Embodied Living is an experiential guide for readers who want to practice embodiment. This approachable, visually stimulating book helps individuals and groups resist cultural myths about ideal bodies, get in touch with the goodness of their bodies, improve self esteem, and more fully inhabit themselves.

Includes:
● writing prompts
● activities and exercises
● questions for reflection
● leader's guide for small groups

Topics include disembodiment, stress and trauma, sexuality, body image, pain and illness, oppression, and more. Each topic in this body image workbook includes various exercises to help readers restore the mind-body connection.
