Senses Wide Open: The Art and Practice of Living in Your Body

Senses Wide Open shows readers how to be at ease with themselves, feel more balanced emotionally, think more clearly, and experience genuine pleasure in their physical connection to others and the world. Through illuminating personal stories, deep movement exploration, bodywork basics, and step-by-step exercises, author Johanna Putnoi shares the knowledge she has gained from her years of experience teaching people to develop a personal awareness of their body's natural intelligence.
Senses Wide Open is designed to work on the spot. Several times in each chapter, Putnoi asks the reader to put the book down for a moment and "try this." The author's simple exercises are inspiring and accessible. Her unique synthesis integrates a variety of practices, including analytic psychology, body awareness, sensate awareness, meditation, and centering.
