The Body Deva: Working with the Spiritual Consciousness of the Body

by Mary Mueller Shutan

A step-by-step guide to accessing the body deva, your body consciousness, for physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing

• Details how to dialogue with the consciousness of your body to heal a variety of issues, from physical pains to limiting beliefs

• Explains how our bodies, consciousness, and spirit are interconnected and how our physical bodies hold emotions and past traumas

• Explores how to work with the body deva to heal spiritual patterns through the physical body, including techniques of ancestral healing, past life healing, and karmic resolution

We are not our pain or our disease, nor are we defined by our limitations, restrictions, or the labels given to us. We are a whole body, a consciousness, and a spiritual being. As a holistic, interconnected being, our emotions, beliefs, physical pain, past traumas, and even imbalances created through spiritual issues are held within our physical form. By accessing them through the physical body with the body deva--the spiritual consciousness of our human body--we can heal the continuum of mind, body, and spirit. Understanding this is the true key to healing.

In this step-by-step guide to understanding and working with the body deva, the consciousness of your body, Mary Mueller Shutan explains how our bodies hold the traumatic energies, emotions, physical issues, and restricting beliefs that cause us pain and feelings of disconnection. She details how to make contact and dialogue with your body deva to heal a variety of issues, from physical pains to ancestral and past life patterns to limiting ideas about what we can accomplish in this world. By working with the body deva, she shows how we can discover the reasons why our pain, beliefs, or imbalances developed and resolve them to heal mind, body, and spirit, every layer of our being. She explores how to work with the archetypes, labels, limiting beliefs, and myths that underlie our unique history and reasons for being. Shutan also examines how to work with the body deva to heal spiritual patterns through the physical body, including techniques of ancestral healing, past life healing, and karmic resolution.

By learning to dialogue with the body deva, you can understand who you are on the deepest levels. You can learn why your pain and imbalances came to be and what lies unhealed within you. You can evolve beyond the limitations and restrictions in your body and your life and evolve into greater health, connection, joy, and consciousness.

I liked reading the examples Mary shared when working with clients, and am interested to see if I would use her method(s) of connecting to The Body Deva with others.

What I enjoyed most was buddy reading this with a Goodreads friend. It was a beautiful, vulnerable, and enlightening experience. I am grateful that The Body Deva was a gateway for this connection.

I enjoyed the contents of this book, but it didn't vibe as much as other spiritual readings. Still, it offers a unique way for someone that might otherwise have issues meditating without an "objective" a more structured way to work through things.

I think the book's chapters were "scrambled" in a weird way; the very last chapter described a methodology for the practice that really should have been in the beginning of the book.

The actual contents of the book were solid. Good read!
