Humanual: A Manual for Being Human

Rate this book
Each of us has an everyday self that we assume our self to be. But what if there is more to us than meets the eye? What if there is an expanded version of our self that includes not only the habitual patterns, the lost parts, and the innate organization but also a connection to the grand, scintillating space of the universe and the possibilities it offers us? 

HUMANUAL is a unique and comprehensive approach to self-knowledge and self-improvement, offering a clear, concise, and rather simple set of explanations and exercises to facilitate understanding and unity of body, mind, and spirit. Many of us have lost our connection to each other, the planet, ourselves, and our bodies, causing distress and discomfort. But in actuality, we have a wealth of resources inside of us that we can learn to enliven and use to our advantage to access health and well-being. Anyone can use the exercises in this book for personal exploration and growth. You will  

How to become aware of habitual thought and movement patterns that prevent you from embodying your full sense of Self in body, mind, and spirit. How to breathe to full capacity, with maximum efficiency and minimal effort, according to our inherent design, which fully oxygenates your system to feel more awake and alive in the present moment. How to cope with and resolve overwhelming experiences, and handle stress that can hinder enjoyment of a rich, positive experience of life. How to awaken your inherent potential by finding the support from the ground that can lead to full stature and expansion, while noting how trauma and overwhelm can interfere with this process. HUMANUAL will help you learn to use what you already have within you . . . and expand your full potential! Learn to do whatever you do with just a bit more presence in every minute. The book is both instructional and inspirational.

The subject is fascinating, and the author seems highly knowledgeable.

But it must have been hard to translate exercises and body sensations to a book.

I hope to learn more about the subject.

Interesting collection of practical ideas regarding the human body. I was already familiar with quite a lot of the ideas was hoping for some new insights, what’s there though is good.
