'Meditating with Character' to be published in the new year Kamalamani, 26 August 2011
My first book will be published by Mantra Books on 27 January 2012. For those meditators and body work practitioners amongst you, here's a brief description:
"Meditating with Character invites the reader to get really curious about what goes on in their meditation practice, through understanding their embodying and disembodying habits. These habits and patterns are explored through the lens of character positions, a body of knowledge taken from post-Reichian psychotherapy. This book breaks new ground in weaving together important threads from meditation, body psychotherapy, and Buddhism, encouraging the reader to be more present with their experience of being an integrated body-mind. The tone is warm, immediate and accessible, reflecting the enthusiasm of the author for meditation and life. Reflection exercises are included, supporting the reader to make sense of their unique approach to being a body with their particular history and life strategies. These reflections can help both new and seasoned meditators to either deepen or revive their connection with their practice. Meditating with Character is highly recommended for anyone who is interested in meditation or being more at home in their own skin, both on and off the meditation cushion".
'Meditating with Character' is available on pre-order from Amazon. I have also created a Facebook page for 'Meditating with Character' to keep those interested updated.
