Inhaltsangabe

" Phillip Moffitt, author of Dancing with Life and From Emotional Chaos to Clarity"

When grief takes everything, how do you find your way home?

After the death of his wife, Gordon Peerman fell into a long night of grief and depression. His way back came through something quieter than effort: learning to listen to the wisdom of his own body.

In The Body Knows the Way, Peerman, a teacher of contemplative practice, shares the honest story of that journey and the practices that carried him through it. Drawing on Christian contemplative wisdom, Buddhist mindfulness, and contemporary psychology, he offers a gentle, practical path for anyone moving through loss, depression, or spiritual darkness.

In this book, you will discover:

• How the body holds grief, and how attention to it can begin to release it
• Simple mindfulness and contemplative practices for the hardest days
• How Christian and Buddhist traditions can meet in a single path of healing
• Why the “dark night” can become a way through, not only a place of suffering
• A compassionate companion for walking alongside your own sorrow

At 134 pages, this is a book you can read in an evening and return to for years.

Whether you are grieving a loved one, supporting someone who is, or seeking a deeper contemplative practice, The Body Knows the Way will help you come home to yourself.
