Book Review: Body of Health

One of the highlights of my summer was serving as a teaching assistant at a workshop called “The Language of Intuition,” at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York. The workshop, taught by Dr. Francesca McCartney, founder of the Academy of Intuition Medicine in Sausalito CA., was a sampling of the material in her book, Body of Health. I trained with Dr. McCartney and this review showcases her book which should be a foundation for anyone building a healthy, balanced, and fulfilling life

The major building blocks of developing your ability to listen to your intuitive intelligence are described in great detail, with exercises that move from theory to integration. Since all of you have worked with me, do you remember my focus on grounding from the first moment we begin? Body of Health shows you myriad ways to de-code what it really means to be grounded and how vitally important it is. Grounding to the earth is an integral part of the practice of living in health and balance. We are constantly exchanging energy and information, and an overload of this is called stress. It’s an over used word, but the depletion is real and there are many ways to manage it. The author describes herself as an “energy technician,” and my goal for you all is to have full toolboxes of resources for the inevitable challenges to your mental, physical and spiritual health. These are complex systems that make up the human experience and there is a beauty of enhancing wisdom through experiential exercises in the areas of your life force, aura, and chakra system. For those who want to start a meditation practice, there is a very comprehensive section on just how to do that.

I have client who, when asked to set an intention for our work together said, “I want to trust myself.” How wise of her. We are working with, reading about, and identifying your subtle energies and Body of Health gives a very clear blueprint. Trust opens up when understanding opens up, and this book contributes towards understanding.

    My intention with this journal is to share insights about our human experience as they come to me. My clients teach me so much and the synergy of a session often leaves me wanting to share what happened. Of course sessions are completely confidential but there are themes and insights that are shared by everyone in their effort to make sense of their lives.
    When I teach my classes this experience of learning is magnified and many of my shared insights will come from these classes.
