The body is of course integral to meditation, but there are only a few books that focus this specifically on the body and the meditative experience. Awake Where You Are addresses that need, and additionally integrates psychological concepts, which provides a more familiar entry point for people less familiar with Buddhism. “Embodied awareness is the way back home—intimacy with where and how we are right now, with what is happening and how we are meeting it. My intention is to lead you into the heart of your life. Inside your body, where everything happens—within a quality of listening rather than knowledge, of feeling rather than reaction. This meditative practice is radically transformative.” —Martin Aylward In a world obsessed with goals and performance, we end up being disconnected from ourselves. This book invites us to go inward and descend into our bodies. It teaches us to inhabit our sensory experience carefully—and literally brings us back "into our skin." Aylward writes with sophisticated subtlety as well as the heart-opening simplicity and clarity born of deep experience. This book is the first English-language offering from a major new voice in contemporary Buddhism.
