This book which first published in 1978 and I wish I had discovered it back then, as it would have spared me years of spinning my wheels. The author is a psychologist, as well as a philosopher specializing specializing in phenomenology. His thinking definitely serves as a solid underpinning to this book. However, de book is completely Call practical. It teaches you how to get in touch with your body / mind - the part of you That feels and knows without using logic, morality, guilt, or blame. Once you get in touch with whatever your body / mind is experiencing in the present, you focus on that "felt sense." Keeping your conscious awareness tuned to that feeling causes a movement in the energy, and a shift Ultimately OCCURS, Which you can physically feel as a release of a blockage or a point of tension. This technique works very well for Those Problems and Issues That You Thought You Had worked through, but keep returning over and over again. The best part is, you can do this work without a therapist. After a while, You Will Find That your body (or rather, body / mind) Becomes your best teacher on all matters of the heart and soul.
