In Discovering the Body’s Wisdom, author Mirka Knaster offers a comprehensive exploration of over fifty mind-body practices aimed at relieving pain, reducing stress, and fostering health, spiritual growth, and inner peace. Drawing from her extensive experience as a licensed massage therapist and her cross-cultural perspective gained from living and traveling worldwide, Knaster provides readers with a resource that bridges Eastern and Western healing traditions.
The book is structured into three parts. Part I delves into the causes of body difficulties and introduces the principles underlying the book, such as body alienation and befriending the body.
Part II guides readers in choosing and interacting with practitioners, emphasizing the importance of evaluating both the practitioner and one’s own attitudes and preferences. Part III offers practical techniques and exercises to help individuals reconnect with their bodies and harness their inherent wisdom.
Knaster’s work stands out for its inclusive approach, presenting a wide array of practices and providing readers with the tools to make informed decisions about their healing journeys. Discovering the Body’s Wisdom serves as a valuable guide for those looking to cultivate a deeper connection with their bodies and enhance their overall well-being, and individuals seeking relief from physical ailments or aiming for spiritual growth. Discovering the Body’s Wisdom is available at bookstores worldwide and on Amazon.com.
