Centered and Connected presents body-based techniques that integrate practices of self-reflection and non-judgmental awareness in order to facilitate healing, build self-esteem, and develop a stronger connection to one’s body. The book draws on specific mindfulness techniques, designed to help those who tend to neglect their personal needs or ignore their limits. Both methodologically comprehensive and practical in its approach, this book inspires readers to explore and find a balance between being centred within themselves and connected to their surroundings. The book begins with a description of the disconnection between the mind and body, a situation which creates a sense of alienation within oneself and can contribute to a lack of self-acceptance, a negative perception of one’s body, as well as more serious psychological and emotional issues. The book concludes with 128 practical activities designed to facilitate a connection with one’s body. Some of the body areas explored include the head, heart, hands, feet, stomach, and pelvis, as well as body-related phenomena such as the breath, gravity, and the voice. Each topic is followed by four simple and enjoyable activities that are meant to improve one’s relationship with one’s body.
