The Body Has a Mind of Its Own

The Body Has a Mind of Its Own

by Matthew Blakeslee & Sandra Blakeslee

This book is one of my favorite sources in my somatic coaching work. Two science writers, Sandra and Matthew Blakeslee write about the “embodied brain.” Through a fascinating series of examples, they skillfully present the “emerging scientific answer to the old age mystery of how mind and body intertwine to create your embodied or “feeling self.” Ever wonder why someone might “make your skin crawl?” It’s more than a metaphor as it’s a real physical response with science to back it up.
