Your Body Reveals: Awaken to Your Truth: 7 Steps to Wholeness

Lisa Berman's book, Your Body Reveals, will be of interest to both the experienced healer, and to the reader making her first acquaintance with the deeper principles of holistic healing. In fewer than 200 pages, the book is able to convey the wisdom that underlies the art of healing.The book describes the findings of "soul-based integrative medicine." Transcending the all too common reaction of fear of illness and the accompanying question, "Why me?" Lisa's approach instead embraces a curiosity about symptoms, viewing them as the soul's language via the body. She encourages us to accept "What Is" - in the sense of being fully present to what is right now in our experience -- rather than futilely resisting our circumstances. She writes of becoming the observer so we can step out of our biased perception of ourselves, and admonishes us "...be aware of what you feel, watch your thoughts as well as your perceptions because suffering starts when you create a story around what you feel." The book invites us to see symptoms as a reminder that we are out of balance, a message to return to the present moment, an encouragement to release our stories from the past and take a joyful step back into our wholeness and oneness. To fully address the "cause" of our symptoms, we need to look at what is going on with us as a whole person: body, mind, and soul.There are practical applications, reminders of gentle but profound tools and practices such as meditation, breathwork, and Bach Flower Remedies. There is a helpful guide of physical symptoms and possible interpretations of their metaphoric meanings, along with other examples scattered throughout the book in lively examples from Lisa's case histories.This book reminds us that we are spiritual beings in these bodies that ultimately share Oneness in this universe. It is a lovely testament to the help and wholeness that is always available to us.I find myself returning to this book time and again for its inspiration.
