Description
Most of us don't get to spend our lives on meditation retreats in the Himalayas or massage tables on exotic beaches. We have REAL LIFE to deal with. But what if you could feel as good as you do in a yoga class for the whole day? What if you could get that meditation buzz even when you're dealing with the busyness of your day-to-day life? What if you could get that feeling of freedom from dancing, but while you're at your computer, or in the kitchen, or managing your kids?
In Everyday Embodiment, world-renowned embodiment expert Mark Walsh will show you how to reconnect with the wisdom of your body so that you can overcome stress, key into your intuition and improve your most important relationships. You can use it on your commute, with your nightmare boss, or even just to stay centred at the supermarket.
With easy-to-follow advice and simple practices, you can build up your own personal, practical tool-kit for navigating conflict, pain, trauma and anxiety.
