An at-home mindful movement practice--cultivate resilience, dispel emotional blockages, and live your best life with the power of movement. When we talk about movement, most of us think "exercise. " But the way we move our bodies--how we walk, roll, dance, stretch, connect, and take up space--is about so much more than physical fitness. Our movements impact our mental and emotional health. . . and when we change the way we move, we can change the way we live. Licensed clinical professional counselor and board-certified dance and movement therapist Erica Hornthal--aka "The Therapist Who Moves You"--takes readers on a step-by-step journey, showing how a mindful movement practice can-Help ease symptoms of depressionBuild a greater sense of connection and intimacy with loved onesSlow down thoughts to lessen anxiety and panicImpact how--and what--we feelReaders will learn to identify where they physically hold their emotions; understand and interpret their body' s unique language; explore bodily sensations; identify emotional blockages; and upgrade harmful thought cycles to patterns that instead foster resilience, emotional regulation, and productivity. With a chapter on disability and movement diversity, Hornthal' s guide is inclusive, non-prescriptive, and helps us each discover the kind of movement that works best for us. Broken into three sections, "How You Move," "How Movement is a Catalyst for Change," and "Transforming Your Life Through Movement," Body Aware is a revelatory transformational practice and an easy-to-use introduction to the mind-body power of intentional movement.
