Breathe...

Laid out in a workbook format, this book presents simple yet profoundly moving exercises that raise body awareness to a new level. If you have experienced abuse or physical illness (as these experiences seem to often result in a disassociation from our bodies), this book is a great place to start the healing process. An actor friend of mine also found these exercises to be useful in preparation for taking on new roles, and feeling more present in his body. What ever your motivation maybe, reading this book will help to revitalize your senses, and in so doing facilitates personal growth. I personally found these exercises to be insightful and gentle, and I admire the at-your-own-pace style this book offers. Lesson number one...Breathe.
