Natural Intelligence: Body-Mind Integration and Human Development

by Susan Aposhyan

This text weaves together the history, theory and research of body-mind psychotherapy. The author lays a foundation for an understanding of the connection between the body and the mind and how the therapist/student can work to integrate the two into a healthy, functioning whole. The book is centred around two main themes: integration of the body and mind to access an organic source of intelligence and recognition that our bodies are motivated at every level (even down to cellular and molecular level). It also recognizes that emotion is an inherent part of our bodily process.

I absolutely loved this book and will definitely read it again. Anyone interested in embodiment, somatics, yoga, dance, movement development, acting, or really anyone who wants to live more fully in their bodies would love this book.
