Emotions and The Body in Buddhist Contemplative Practice and Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Pathways of Somatic Intelligence

Represents an outstanding contribution to the field of somatic psychology.

It focuses on the relationship between body and emotions, and on the linkages between mindfulness-based emotion studies and neuroscience.

The author discusses the awakening of somatic intelligence as a journey through pain and trauma management, the moral dimensions of somatic passions, and the art and practice of embodied mindfulness.

Issues such as the emotions and the body in relation to Buddhist contemplative practice, against the background of the most recent findings of current neuroscience, are expanded in the book.
