Paperback. Condition: Good. Suffering may well be the most difficult part of life, as Episcopal priest and therapist Gordon Peerman knows first hand. Based on his conviction that Buddhist teachers have a lot to teach about dealing with suffering, what helps and what doesn't, Peerman takes readers on a lively, even light-hearted, journey through nine Buddhist practices that can bring "blessed relief" to a wide range of human suffering: Feeling Inadequate / Mindfulness; Wanting "Other"/ Dropping the Story; Anxiety / Spacious Awareness; Perfectionism / Kind Attention; Destructive Anger / The Way of Nonharming; Conflict / Nonviolent Communication; Hurt / Beginning Anew; Woundedness / Bowing to the Moment; Injustice / Softening the Heart.

This book will especially appeal to Christian audiences interested in the writings of Thomas Merton, Thomas Keating and Thich Nhat Hanh.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "In The Body Knows the Way, Gordon Peerman leads us on a journey of discovery of our innate luminous awareness. He shares a deeply moving account of his own great loss and slow recovery that is both inspirational and highly practical. He shows how we, too, can move from the abyss of seemingly endless despair to a never-before imagined state of peace and joy. You will discover things you do not know in these pages." - Phillip Moffitt, author of Dancing with Life and From Emotional Chaos to Clarity Following his beloved wife's death, Gordon Peerman fell into a depression which no therapy or medication or spiritual practice could relieve. The Body Knows the Way is the story of his journey through shattering grief and spiritual darkness. Lost in the dark night of his desolation, struggling to keep going, Peerman discovered emotional and spiritual resources that helped him find his way home again. The Body Knows the Way teaches how simple shifts of attention into an effortless awareness can open the way to emotional healing and spiritual connection. Combining insights from Christian contemplative and Buddhist mindfulness practice, Peerman integrates ancient spiritual wisdom with contemporary psychological understandings of the roots of depression in developmental trauma. The body knows how to hold sorrowful, furious, and despairing parts of ourselves in open-hearted, loving awareness. Sometimes the body needs to be reminded how. In a deeply personal and practical memoir, Peerman shows there is a way home through the darkness of grief and despair. This item is printed on demand.
