We are not our pain or our disease nor are we defined by our limitations, restrictions or the labels given to us. We are a whole body, a consciousness and a spiritual being. As a holistic, interconnected being, our emotions, beliefs, physical pain, past traumas and even imbalances created through spiritual issues are held within our physical form. By accessing them through the physical body with the body deva - the spiritual consciousness of our human body - we can heal the continuum of mind, body and spirit. Understanding this is the true key to healing. In this step-by-step guide to understanding and working with the body deva, the consciousness of your body, Mary Mueller Shutan explains how our bodies hold the traumatic energies, emotions, physical issues and restricting beliefs that cause us pain and feelings of disconnection. She details how to make contact and dialogue with your body deva to heal a variety of issues, from physical pains to ancestral and past life patterns to limiting ideas about what we can accomplish in this world. By working with the body deva, she shows how we can discover the reasons why our pain, beliefs or imbalances developed and resolve them to heal mind, body and spirit, every layer of our being. She explores how to work with the archetypes, labels, limiting beliefs and myths that underlie our unique history and reasons for being. Shutan, also, examines how to work with the body deva to heal spiritual patterns through the physical body, including techniques of ancestral healing, past life healing and karmic resolution. By learning to communicate with the body deva, you can understand who you are on the deepest levels. You can learn why your pain and imbalances came to be and what lies unhealed within you. You can evolve beyond the limitations and restrictions in your body and your life and evolve into greater health, connection, joy and consciousness. · Details how to dialogue with the consciousness of your body to heal a variety of issues, from physical pains to limiting beliefs · Explains how our bodies, consciousness and spirit are interconnected and how our physical bodies hold emotions and past traumas · Explores how to work with the body deva to heal spiritual patterns through the physical body, including techniques of ancestral healing, past life healing and karmic resolution
