*Chosen by Michael Strahan as required reading*
From the holistic psychology expert and author of the mind-body-spirit classic Be Like Water, comes “a serious breakthrough in tapping the body-mind connection” (Carl O. Helvie, RN, PhD, host of The Holistic Health Show) with revolutionary methods to help you find the physical and psychological energy you need to live a vibrant life.
Have you ever told yourself to power through and put mind over matter—but found yourself hitting a wall, day after day after day?
We’re all familiar with this positive thinking approach for managing our lives and getting through rough times. Ironically, these methods often fail us because we end up wearing ourselves down by the effort it takes to constantly maintain such an upbeat outlook. So what if instead of working to fix our mindset for better energy, we synced our body’s energy to create a better mind?
In Body Intelligence, Joseph Cardillo, PhD, combines Western science, technology, psychology, and holistic medicine to show that we must first balance the body’s energies before we can enhance the mind. Based on cutting-edge ideas, Body Intelligence teaches us to tap into our energetic “sweet spot” and identify specific steps we must take to remove energy blocks.
“Written with an empowering and empathetic tone” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) and packed with exercises, self-tests, and step-by-step instructions, Body Intelligence provides all the interactive tools for beginners and experienced energy-balancing practitioners alike to improve and understand the specific energy needed to live a happy, healthy, fulfilling life.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Cardillo (Mind like Water) tackles the mind/body connection with a book intended to help readers achieve a "vivid, brilliantly experienced life" by identifying and using the body's energy sources. After discussing how energy affects one's overall life, he segues into teaching readers how to identify their energy needs, sharing valuable insights and exercises for boosting alertness, personal strength, and memory, and reversing stress, aggressive feelings, and obsessive thinking. Mindfulness is at the heart of every chapter, as Cardillo identifies the power of emotional memory and explains how implicit memory combines with the flight-or-flight response without conscious effort. "Implicit memory can be dangerous when combined with a negative mood and rapid changes in your blood chemistry," he warns. Cardillo gives readers reliable tools for addressing tough situations, including emptying one's mind to eliminate stress, combining the energy of music and art with positive memories to improve one's mood, and using what he terms power words to enhance memory and view stressful situations from a detached perspective. He also emphasizes that this isn't a one-size-fits-all proposition; what works for one person might not for another. Written with an empowering and empathetic tone, Cardillo's latest work is likely to join his earlier Mind like Water on lists of mind/body classics.
