Your body has a natural sense of truth. We can feel authenticity in ourselves and in others. However, this innate wisdom is obscured by our conditioning : the core limiting beliefs, reactive feelings, and somatic contractions that fuel our sense of struggle and veil who we really are. In touch is a groundbreaking, experiential guide to the felt-sense of our 'inner knowing' the deep intelligence available through our bodies. Each chapter presents moving stories, helpful insights from spirituality, psychology, and science, and simple yet potent experiments for integrating the gifts of inner knowing into every aspect of daily life.
