"This has been a wonderful book for me. It makes myth biologically alive." -- Joseph Campbell author of Masks of God Your Body Speaks Its Mind is an important contribution to Bioenergetics... it is a very finely written book which I would recommend everyone interested in human behavior to read and study." -- Alexander Lowen, M.D. Executive Director Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis Your Body Speaks Its Mind is Stanley Keleman's provocative work on how to understand the language of the body and the nature of bodily experience. "We do not have bodies, we are our bodies. Emotional reality and biological ground are the same and cannot, in any way, be separated or distinguished," says Keleman. A key concept is what Keleman describes as the formative principle, how life shapes itself somatically according to subjective experience. He sees the body as an alive, kinetic, emotional form -- not an object in space but the embodiment of a person in the shape he acquires through living. It is this process of life incarnate -- individual human experience manifesting in flesh -- that he describes in a personal and original style. Stanley Keleman has been practicing and developing psychobiology for over twenty-five years and is a pioneer in his study of the body and its connection to the emotional, psychological, sexual and imaginative aspects of human experience. Born in Brooklyn, he now lives in Berkeley, California, where he maintains a private and group practice and is director of the Center for Energetic Studies.
