Many of us are walking through life feeling detached, disconnected, and disembodied, making it difficult to stay present in the current moment, let alone present in our bodies. After years spent disconnected from our physical selves, the thought of reestablishing a healthy connection to the body can feel almost impossible. If we do not know how we feel, how can we connect to how we feel?
Enter BodyTalk, a unique, gentle workbook to reestablishing connection to your body and finding your way back to yourself. Over 365 days, board-certified dance/movement therapist Erica Hornthal leads you on a journey to rediscover what it means to befriend your body, whether you’re looking to ease into or strengthen this vital relationship. Through a combination of daily movement exercises, mindful reflections, and body-centered prompts, you will:
- become reacquainted with your embodied existence,
- learn how to move through challenging emotions and feelings, and
- find balance and a sense of vitality.
