A manual for Mindful Focusing, a new integration of Eastern and Western techniques for accessing your inherent wisdom.Ever come up against one of those moments when life requires a response—and you feel clueless? We all have. But there’s good news: you have all the wisdom you need to respond to any situation, even the "impossible" ones. It’s a matter of tuning in to your felt sense: that subtle physical sensation that lives somewhere between your conscious and subconscious mind and that can be accessed through Focusing, the well-known method developed by the psychologist Eugene Gendlin. David Rome’s technique of Mindful Focusing unites Gendlin’s method with Buddhist mindfulness practices to provide a wonderfully effective method for accessing your inherent answer to any question—and for responding honestly and creatively to the world around you.
"What the Body Knows" is a collection of poems that seeks the language of what lies deeply within the body, to listen and to name the longings, losses, and gains of a long life. "In bygone centuries a mirror was held to the lips of a passing loved one to check for the delicate mist of life. These poems are like that mirror. To their reflecting surface clings a distillation of clarity and wisdom, precious to those who look into the glass." --"Rhoda Janzen, Author," Mennonite in a Little Black Dress "and" Mennonite Meets Mr. Right "Jean Janzen addresses her treasured topics--desire, mystery, language, family and heritage, music, embodied spirituality--with confidence and grace. 'Write it, the hunger and the song, ' says one poem. And she does, brilliantly. Janzen's vision has never been clearer; her words have never confessed more truth. This book took over 80 years to write, and its final, passionate message is 'mercy, ' a resounding 'Yes.'" " --Julia Spicher Kasdorf, Author, "Poetry in America "In 'Winter Child' Jean Janzen remembers 'a kind of ecstasy' from a wintry afternoon, her 'small figure falling again and again / to make a host of angels in my own backyard.' Steeped as they are in loss and grief, these poems may hardly seem angelic--except in their glimmering music, their wintry knowledge, and their generous wisdom. "What the Body Knows" is a book to savor and to treasure." "--Jeff Gundy, Author of Songs" from an Empty Cage "and" Somewhere Near Defiance The Author: Jean Janzen, a poet living in Fresno, California, is the author of six previous collections of poetry who has received a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship and other awards. A graduate of Fresno Pacific University and California State University of Fresno, she has taught at Fresno Pacific and Eastern Mennonite University. "What the Body Knows" is volume 12 in the DreamSeeker Poetry Series released by Cascadia Publishing House LLC and follows volume 11, "Momentary Stay," Barbara Esch Shisler.
Have you ever had an experience where you felt particularly aware of God? If God is real, and we are created in God's image, then it makes sense that our minds and bodies would be designed with the perceptive ability to sense and experience God. Scientists are now discovering ways that our bodies are designed to connect with God. Brain research shows that our brain systems are wired to enable us to have spiritual experiences. The spiritual circuits that are used in prayer or worship are also involved in developing compassion for others. Our bodies have actually been created to love God and serve our neighbors. Award-winning journalist Rob Moll chronicles the fascinating ways in which our brains and bodies interact with God and spiritual realities. He reports on neuroscience findings that show how our brains actually change and adapt when engaged in spiritual practices. We live longer, healthier, happier and more fulfilling lives when we cultivate the biological spiritual capacity that puts us in touch with God. God has created our bodies to fulfill the Great Commandment; we are hardwired to commune with God and to have compassion and community with other people. Moll explores the neuroscience of prayer, how liturgy helps us worship, why loving God causes us to love others, and how a life of love and service leads to the abundant life for which we were created. Just as our physical bodies require exercise to stay healthy, so too can spiritual exercises and practices revitalize our awareness of God. Heighten your spiritual senses and discover how you have been designed for physical and spiritual flourishing.

A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice A fevered storyteller and a captive audience revisit the past in both of David Grossman's novellas, trying to make sense of a betrayal that neither one can put to rest. In Frenzy, a reserved and respectable man draws his sister-in-law into a paranoid conviction---that his wife is having an affair. In the title novella, a successful but embittered novelist delivers a merciless account of her dying mother's love affair with a much younger teenage boy. "Suffused with delirious tension and characters more substantial than in most novels twice its size" (The Village Voice), Her Body Knows is a disquieting journey into the nature of infidelity and desire.
These two novellas concern love. In 'Frenzy', Shaul is convinced that his wife is having an affair. He feverishly imagines her, in every painful detail, with her lover. Esther has never seen the human side of her aloof brother-in-law, but during a night-time journey Shaul unburdens himself, recreating an affair he has never witnessed. Is he mad? Or has he divined the truth? In 'Her Body Knows', Rotem has spent most of her life being angry with her mother, Nilli. Now Nilli is dying and Rotem, who has finally found happiness in London, must return to say goodbye. She arrives with a story about Nilli, full of accusations, empathy, love and forgiveness.
"In The Body Knows the Way, Gordon Peerman leads us on a journey of discovery of our innate luminous awareness. He shares a deeply moving account of his own great loss and slow recovery that is both inspirational and highly practical. He shows how we, too, can move from the abyss of seemingly endless despair to a never-before imagined state of peace and joy. You will discover things you do not know in these pages." - Phillip Moffitt, author of Dancing with Life and From Emotional Chaos to Clarity Following his beloved wife's death, Gordon Peerman fell into a depression which no therapy or medication or spiritual practice could relieve. The Body Knows the Way is the story of his journey through shattering grief and spiritual darkness. Lost in the dark night of his desolation, struggling to keep going, Peerman discovered emotional and spiritual resources that helped him find his way home again. The Body Knows the Way teaches how simple shifts of attention into an effortless awareness can open the way to emotional healing and spiritual connection. Combining insights from Christian contemplative and Buddhist mindfulness practice, Peerman integrates ancient spiritual wisdom with contemporary psychological understandings of the roots of depression in developmental trauma. The body knows how to hold sorrowful, furious, and despairing parts of ourselves in open-hearted, loving awareness. Sometimes the body needs to be reminded how. In a deeply personal and practical memoir, Peerman shows there is a way home through the darkness of grief and despair.
