Transforming the Bodymind through Metaphysical Practices Click Here
The current era of the great unravelling of culture is a time to draw on the resources of ancient wisdom traditions to help ourselves and others to navigate through these times. The metaphysical approach draws from the “world behind the world” (of energy, symbols, and beliefs) to help us find a transformed life-stance. In this re-visioning of the term “metaphysical,” coming from Dr. Mayer’s new book, metaphysics includes: both spiritual and soulful practices, psycho-mythology, somatic approaches to healing (such as Tai Chi Qigong), and a multidimensional approach to the political/ecological sphere. You will learn specific tools from these traditions:
Standing Meditation Qigong: To change your Life Stance
The Mythic Journey Process: To transform your inner characters
Qigong Self-Healing Methods: For stress reduction
Teaching Stories: Making sure you put stories in your “resilience” kit
Energy Psychology Methods: For bodymind healing
Tai Chi Joining Hands Practice: An integral interpersonal, metaphysical practice
What people are saying about this book, The Path of a Reluctant Metaphysician:
“Dr. Michael Mayer has helped numerous people through his knowledge of psychotherapeutic principles, internal martial arts practices, and life style enhancement. Readers of this book will find Dr. Mayer’s personal story an engrossing one, and may be motivated to recast their own beliefs and behaviors, even reluctantly, into a metaphysical mode.” —Stanley Krippner, PhD; Alan Watts Professor of Psychology, Saybrook University; Co-author, Personal Mythology
“Behind the veil of our everyday experiences there is another reality that beckons our attention. Michael Mayer’s revelations in this domain are a guide for anyone who desires a richer and more fulfilling experience of life. If you think life must contain more juice than you have known so far, this book is for you.” —Larry Dossey, MD; Author, Healing Words
