'Bodyfulness' by Christine Caldwell
“Breathing, sensing, and moving - the ways we know our body - carry tremendous contemplative potential, and yet, we so often move through our days unaware of or in conflict with our physical selves.”
Bodyfulness: Somatic Practices for Presence, Empowermentand Waking Up in This Life by Christine Caldwell.
A wonderfully powerful reminder that the body is not just a vessel to be managed, ignored (or transcended) .. but a wise, dynamic partner in our journey toward presence and transformation. While “mindfulness” has become something of a cultural catchphrase, Caldwell offers a new word and a new view; ‘bodyfulness’ as a powerful complement to our practice.
Drawing on decades of somatic counselling and teaching, Caldwell invites us into a practice of embodied awareness, challenging the lingering view that places the mind above the body.
Caldwell argues, mindfulness, while valuable, often reinforces the belief that thinking is somehow more noble than feeling, sensing, or moving. In response, she presents bodyfulness as a way of being that restores balance, deepens self-understanding, and helps us feel more alive in the present moment.
