The Intuitive Body
In The Intuitive Body Wendy Palmer draws on her practice of Aikido, a Japanese martial art and meditation, to present her approach to rediscovering the part of ourselves that is wise, kind and capable of clear and powerful embodied action. This way of being arises out of what she calls the "intuitive state", a spontaneous, intelligent and creative aspect of ourselves which has not been distorted by fear and confusion. She teaches us Basic Practice, a simple, 3-step method using breath, balancing the energy field and feeling gravity, as a tool to ground us in our bodies. Then she discusses mental perception and working with the movement and power of our thoughts to create a spacious environment, from which the wisdom of our intuition can arise. Finally, she addresses the nature of embodied action: entering fully into life situations and working with our perceptions during the many activities and pressures of life.
This book is beautifully written. What comes through strongly is that the author has deeply studied and lived these practices, which her generous spirit has urged her to share.
