Body Eloquence
The Power of Myth and Story to Awaken the Body's Energies
by Nancy Mellon, with Ashley Ramsden
ISBN: 978-1-60415-028-5
Drawing from mythology, medicine, biology and energetic healing, this book introduces the body from Western and Eastern perspectives, and invites creative responsiveness to the messages of our human organs.
From the Foreword by Donna Eden, author of Energy Medicine:
Body Eloquence is a thrilling read, guiding us into the cornucopia of poetic relationships that reside in the human body. Its thesis is that every organ contributes to your life story and embodies a purpose and has an influence that goes far beyond its biological function. Every organ is as vitally connected with psyche and spirit as it is with blood and oxygen. Every organ embodies a specific theme, holding its own important piece of the cosmos' great mysteries.
. . . . . . .
This is a book that teaches you about the great story teller that dwells within each of us, addressing at once the grand themes of heaven and earth and the perpetual conflicts among our organs, the product of our day-to-day adjustments to the planet. It is a book that teaches you to be attuned to the spectacular dramas within, finding the stories that complete what is unfinished, that right what has been wronged, and that move us further along, and with greater consciousness, on this journey we call life.
